Therefore this great work of charity must have other motives, ends, and impulsions. I give no alms to satisfy the hunger of my brother, but to fulfil and accomplish the will and command of my God; I draw not my purse for his sake that demands it, but his that enjoined it; I relieve no man upon the rhetoric of his miseries, nor to content mine own commiserating disposition, for this is still but moral charity, and an act that oweth more to passion than reason.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anybody can win, unless there happens to be a second entry ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35523]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anybody can win, unless there happens to be a second entry]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good work habits help develop an internal toughness and a self-confident attitude that will sustain you through every adversity and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22213]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good work habits help develop an internal toughness and a self-confident attitude that will sustain you through every adversity and temporary discouragement.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In this society, the norm of masculinity is phallic aggression.

Male sexuality is, by definition, intensely and rigidly phallic. A man's identity is located in his conception of himself as the possessor of a phallus; a man's worth is located in his pride in phallic identity. The main characteristic of phallic identity is that worth is entirely contingent on the possession of a phallus. Since men have no other criteria for worth, no other notion of identity, those who do not have phalluses are not recognized as fully human.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I made my money by selling too soon. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15903]]></link><description><![CDATA[I made my money by selling too soon.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15903</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh! rather give me commentators plain, Who with no deep researches vex the brain;  Who from the dark and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3529]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh! rather give me commentators plain, Who with no deep researches vex the brain;  Who from the dark and doubtful love to run,   And hold their glimmering tapers to the sun.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are epidemics of nobleness as well as epidemics of disease. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44574]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are epidemics of nobleness as well as epidemics of disease.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success is the necessary misfortune of life, but it is only to the very unfortunate that it comes early. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58149]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success is the necessary misfortune of life, but it is only to the very unfortunate that it comes early.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Skill in the art of communication is crucial to a leader's success.

Our environment itself -- our home and our job -- is the medium through which we experience His moulding action and His besetting love. It is not Christian to try to get out of our frame, or to separate our outward life from our life of prayer, since both are the creation of one Charity. The third-rate little town in the hills, with its limited social contacts and monotonous manual work, reproves us when we begin to fuss about our opportunities and our score. And this quality of quietness, ordinariness, simplicity, with which the saving action of God enters history, endures from the beginning to the end.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are high spots in all of our lives and most of them have come about through encouragement from someone ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13771]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are high spots in all of our lives and most of them have come about through encouragement from someone else.
