If he went out to the Ahaggar plateau, it was not only to find but also to proclaim God, thereby teaching the gospel in a way which desert people could understand. After his death, the example set by this hermit was followed by others who, far from settling in the desert places of the Sahara, set out to mingle with the peopled deserts of the great cities, there to preach the gospel by their example and their very presence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Power concedes nothing without a demand.

Abp. William Temple  November 7, 2001 Feast of Willibrord of York, Archbishop of Utrecht, Apostle of Frisia, 739   The social gospel is not an addendum to the gospel; it is the gospel. If we read the Gospels, it becomes clear that it was not what Jesus said about God that got him into trouble (but) his treatment of men and women, his way of being friendly with outcasts with whom no respectable Jew would have anything to do. It has always been fairly safe to talk about God; it is when we start to talk about men that the trouble starts. And yet the fact remains that there is no conceivable way of proving that we love God other than by loving men. And there is no conceivable way of proving that we love men than by doing something for those who most need help.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7896</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11795]]></link><description><![CDATA[Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we call reality is an agreement that people have arrived at to make life more livable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1916]]></link><description><![CDATA[What we call reality is an agreement that people have arrived at to make life more livable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1916</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Boxing has become America's tragic theater. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57523]]></link><description><![CDATA[Boxing has become America's tragic theater.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remember upon the conduct of each depends the fate of all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63778]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remember upon the conduct of each depends the fate of all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63778</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The camel set out to get him horns and was shorn of his ears. [Lat., Camelus desiderans cornua etiam aures ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14919]]></link><description><![CDATA[The camel set out to get him horns and was shorn of his ears. [Lat., Camelus desiderans cornua etiam aures perdidit.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14919</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Successful crime is dignified with the name of virtue; the good become the slaves of the impious; might makes right; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10672]]></link><description><![CDATA[Successful crime is dignified with the name of virtue; the good become the slaves of the impious; might makes right; fear silences the power of the law. [Lat., Prosperum ac felix scelus  Virtus vocatur; sontibus patent boni;   Jus est in armis, opprimit leges timor.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Exercising and eating a Mediterranean-style diet will improve your changes of staying healthy, regardless of your cholesterol, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38391]]></link><description><![CDATA[Exercising and eating a Mediterranean-style diet will improve your changes of staying healthy, regardless of your cholesterol,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Henceforth, I'll bear Affliction till it do cry out itself,  'Enough, enough, and die.' ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1661]]></link><description><![CDATA[Henceforth, I'll bear Affliction till it do cry out itself,  'Enough, enough, and die.']]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never be possessive.
