The trouble with steeling yourself against the harshness of reality is that the same steel that secures your life against being destroyed secures your life also against being opened up and transformed by the holy power that life itself comes from. You can even prevail on your own. But you cannot become human on your own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marriage is low down, but you spend the rest of your life paying for it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2030]]></link><description><![CDATA[Marriage is low down, but you spend the rest of your life paying for it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My ancestors wandered lost in the wilderness for forty years because even in biblical times, men would not stop to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18442]]></link><description><![CDATA[My ancestors wandered lost in the wilderness for forty years because even in biblical times, men would not stop to ask for directions]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[None are more taken in with flattery than the proud, who wish to be the first and are not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16188]]></link><description><![CDATA[None are more taken in with flattery than the proud, who wish to be the first and are not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Republicans have been accused of abandoning the poor.

The experience of the Jews in relation to Jesus, and of the churches throughout the ages, demonstrates that this is the most persistent and far-reaching temptation which confronts men. To call attention to this is always an urgently necessary part of the prophetic ministry within the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've chosen the path to equality, don't let them turn us around. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27177]]></link><description><![CDATA[We've chosen the path to equality, don't let them turn us around.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The longest absence is less perilous to love than the terrible trials of incessant proximity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59697]]></link><description><![CDATA[The longest absence is less perilous to love than the terrible trials of incessant proximity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Alexander Hamilton originated the put and take system in our national treasury: the taxpayers put it in, and the politicians ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15692]]></link><description><![CDATA[Alexander Hamilton originated the put and take system in our national treasury: the taxpayers put it in, and the politicians take it out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The situation is only getting worse.
