For how many men--we put it to your own experience, reader--have made their way through the thronging crowds that beset fortune, not by the innate worth and excellence of their hats, but simply, as Sampson Piebald has it, by 'the cock of their hats'? The cock's all."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sports is the toy department of human life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66105]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sports is the toy department of human life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You cannot get ahead while you are getting even. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54105]]></link><description><![CDATA[You cannot get ahead while you are getting even.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After a long product portfolio transition, we forecast that Bristol-Myers could return to a period of sustained high teens earnings ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31186]]></link><description><![CDATA[After a long product portfolio transition, we forecast that Bristol-Myers could return to a period of sustained high teens earnings per share growth in 2007-2010.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The benediction of these covering heavens Fall on their heads like dew, for they are worthy  To inlay heaven ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4322]]></link><description><![CDATA[The benediction of these covering heavens Fall on their heads like dew, for they are worthy  To inlay heaven with stars.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From there, we all benefit even if we're not related to these apps, because they're now online. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41415]]></link><description><![CDATA[From there, we all benefit even if we're not related to these apps, because they're now online.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41415</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With his ABC News experience, perhaps Pierre Salinger's next job could be cohosting-with Oliver Stone-a 24-hour Conspiracy Network. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39017]]></link><description><![CDATA[With his ABC News experience, perhaps Pierre Salinger's next job could be cohosting-with Oliver Stone-a 24-hour Conspiracy Network.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39017</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rational individualist is not the enemy of benevolence or civility, but their truest exemplar. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52003]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rational individualist is not the enemy of benevolence or civility, but their truest exemplar.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For, behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13164]]></link><description><![CDATA[For, behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13164</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must face the recognition that what the early Christians saw in Jesus Christ, and what we must accept if ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6491]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must face the recognition that what the early Christians saw in Jesus Christ, and what we must accept if we look at him rather than at our imaginations about him, was not a person characterized by universal benignity, loving God and loving man. His love of God and his love of neighbor are two distinct virtues that have no common quality but only a common source. Love of God is adoration of the only true good; it is gratitude to the bestower of all gifts; it is joy in holiness; it is "consent to Being." But the love of man is pitiful rather than adoring; it is giving and forgiving rather than grateful. It suffers for them in their viciousness and profaneness; it does not consent to accept them as they are, but calls them to repentance. The love of God is nonpossessive Eros; the love of man pure Agape; the love of God is passion; the love of man, compassion. There is duality here, but not of like-minded interest in two great values, God and man. It is rather the duality of the Son of Man and Son of God, who loves God as man should love Him, and loves man as only God can love, with powerful pity for those who are foundering.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At the heart of racism is the religious assertion that God made a creative mistake when He brought some people ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52903]]></link><description><![CDATA[At the heart of racism is the religious assertion that God made a creative mistake when He brought some people into being.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52903</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm going to get in there.
