The prophets should have taught us a different lesson. They should have led us to feel that it was a solemn duty, not to conceal, but to bring forward all the evidence which proves, not that one country is better than another, or one portion of the church better than another, but that there is a principle of decay, a tendency to apostasy in all, and that no comfort can come from merely balancing symptoms of good here against symptoms of evil there, no comfort from considering whether we are a little less contentious, a little less idolatrous than our neighbors.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The faulty stands on his guard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49846]]></link><description><![CDATA[The faulty stands on his guard.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49846</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24705]]></link><description><![CDATA[I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24705</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love my animals and the environment; it is hard to go from farm life to city life in a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40950]]></link><description><![CDATA[I love my animals and the environment; it is hard to go from farm life to city life in a few hours.

The primary focus of a valuer is not to take the world as it comes and pass judgment. His primary focus is to identify what might and ought to exist, to uncover potentialities that he can exploit, to find ways of reshaping the world in the image of his values.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When they can't win in fair fight, they resort to all sorts of sly tricks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50810]]></link><description><![CDATA[When they can't win in fair fight, they resort to all sorts of sly tricks.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no doubt that the new wave (of attacks) in Palestine will wipe off this stigma (Israel) from the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41300]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no doubt that the new wave (of attacks) in Palestine will wipe off this stigma (Israel) from the face of the Islamic world, ...
