It is hard, under the pressure of haste, uneasiness, ill-temper, self-complacency, and conceit, to continue intending justice. Power corrupts; the "insolence of office" will creep in. We see it so clearly in our superiors; is it unlikely that our inferiors see it in us? How many of those who have been over us did not sometimes (perhaps often) need our forgiveness? Be sure that we likewise need the forgiveness of those that are under us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now landsmen all, whoever you may be, If you want to rise to the top of the tree,  If ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44021]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now landsmen all, whoever you may be, If you want to rise to the top of the tree,  If your soul isn't fettered to an office stool,   Be careful to be guided by this golden rule--    Stick close to your desks and never go to sea,     And you all may be Rulers of the Queen's Navee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals.

Is it a total contradiction of it? Is it some sort of a reflection of it? or perhaps a devil's parody of it? Or has it nothing to do with it at all? Perhaps there will be many Christians to whom it would not occur to pose the question whether the process of secularization has anything to do with the biblical understanding of the goal of history. The Bible, for them, belongs to a religious world which is not admitted to belong to the world of secular events -- the world in which we are when we read the daily newspaper. But this is to read the Bible wrongly. Whatever else it may be, the Bible is a secular book dealing with the sort of events which a news editor accepts for publication in a daily newspaper; it is concerned with secular events, wars, revolutions, enslavements and liberations, migrants and refugees, famines and epidemics and all the rest. It deals with events which happened and tells a story which can be checked. We miss this because we do not sufficiently treat the Bible as a whole. When we do this, we see at once that the Bible -- whatever be the variety of material which it contains: poetry, prayers, legislation, genealogy, and all the rest -- is in its main design a universal history. It is an interpretation of human history as a whole, beginning with the saga of creation and ending with a vision of the gathering together of all the nations and the consummation of God's purpose for mankind. The Bible is an outline of world history.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She looked as if she had been poured into her clothes and had forgotten to say "when." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66154]]></link><description><![CDATA[She looked as if she had been poured into her clothes and had forgotten to say "when."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66154</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We often give our enemies the means for our own destruction ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28489]]></link><description><![CDATA[We often give our enemies the means for our own destruction]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28489</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some hire public relations officers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18269]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some hire public relations officers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I buy houses from people in almost any area, any condition, or price range.
