But if these holy places, things, and days cease to remind us, if they obliterate our awareness that all ground is holy and every bush (could we but perceive it) a Burning Bush, then the hallows begin to do harm. Hence both the necessity, and the perennial danger, of "religion".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I asked the students to wear white and carry American flags at school.

Do not take up the vain excuse of your rawness of inexperience which you may imagine or assume. For sterile modesty is never pleasing, not that humility laudable which passes the bounds of reason. Attend to your work; drive out bashfulness by a sense of duty, and act as a master. But I am not sufficient for these things, you say. As if your offering were not accepted from what you have, and not from what you have not. Be prepared to answer for the single talent committed to your charge, and take no thought for the test. For he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. Give all, as assuredly you shall pay to the uttermost farthing; but of a truth out of what you have, not what you have not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Justice is like a train that is nearly always late ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23619]]></link><description><![CDATA[Justice is like a train that is nearly always late]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you don't learn to laugh at troubles, you won't have anything to laugh at when you grow old. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20104]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you don't learn to laugh at troubles, you won't have anything to laugh at when you grow old.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20104</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think this is an issue that should not be politicized but has to be addressed with clinical objectivity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36692]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think this is an issue that should not be politicized but has to be addressed with clinical objectivity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you're getting matured the more responsibility you have ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33433]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you're getting matured the more responsibility you have]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In confession... we open our lives to healing, reconciling, restoring, uplifting grace of Him who loves us in spite of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9651]]></link><description><![CDATA[In confession... we open our lives to healing, reconciling, restoring, uplifting grace of Him who loves us in spite of what we are.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On the field, blacks have been able to be super giants.
