To justify Christianity because it provides a foundation of morality, instead of showing the necessity of Christian morality from the truth of Christianity, is a very dangerous inversion; and we may reflect that a good deal of the attention of totalitarian states has been devoted with a steadfastness of purpose not always found in democracies, to providing their national life with a foundation of morality -- the wrong kind, perhaps, but a good deal more of it. It is not enthusiasm, but dogma, that differentiates a Christian from a pagan society.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anchorman. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39258]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anchorman.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39258</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that gives me small gifts would have me live. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49341]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that gives me small gifts would have me live.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49341</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is blynde. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25863]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is blynde.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's music in the sighing of a reed; There's music in the gushing of a rill;  There's music in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43444]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's music in the sighing of a reed; There's music in the gushing of a rill;  There's music in all things, if men had ears:   Their earth is but an echo of the spheres.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43444</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men of different tastes have different pursuits. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48851]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men of different tastes have different pursuits.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48851</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I tell you the past is a bucket of ashes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45698]]></link><description><![CDATA[I tell you the past is a bucket of ashes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45698</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She waits for me, my lady Earth, Smiles and waits and sighs;  I'll say her nay, and hide away, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52932]]></link><description><![CDATA[She waits for me, my lady Earth, Smiles and waits and sighs;  I'll say her nay, and hide away,   Then take her by surprise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're confident that Floridians support our positions and that's been reflected in our fund raising. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30951]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're confident that Floridians support our positions and that's been reflected in our fund raising.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Insanity is my only means of relaxation ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21005]]></link><description><![CDATA[Insanity is my only means of relaxation]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21005</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a little gray house in a one-street town, And the door stands open, and the steps go down, And ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42312]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's a little gray house in a one-street town, And the door stands open, and the steps go down, And you prop up the window with a stick on the sill, And you carry spring water from the bottom of the hill; And the white star of Bethlehem grows in t]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42312</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The State, both in its genesis and by its primary intention, is purely anti-social.

It is not based on the idea of natural rights, but on the idea that the individual has no rights except those that the State may provisionally grant him.

The grosser manifestations of these sins -- egotism, exhibitionism, self-promotion -- are strangely tolerated in Christian leaders, even in circles of impeccable orthodoxy. They are so much in evidence as actually, for many people, to become identified with the gospel. I trust it is not a cynical observation to say that they appear these days to be a requisite for popularity in some sections of the Church visible. Promoting self under the guise of promoting Christ is currently so common as to excite little notice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wish the crowd to feel itself well treated, Especially since it lives and lets me live.  [Ger., Ich ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52467]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wish the crowd to feel itself well treated, Especially since it lives and lets me live.  [Ger., Ich wunschte sehr, der Menge zu behagen,   Besonders weil sie lebt und leben lasst.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the habitual carriage of the umbrella that is the stamp of Respectability.

Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else's eyes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23467]]></link><description><![CDATA[It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else's eyes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wish I lived back in the old west days, because I'd save up my money for about twenty years ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11695]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wish I lived back in the old west days, because I'd save up my money for about twenty years so I could buy a solid-gold pick.
