Success and failure are unavoidably related in our minds with the state of things around us. Hence it is that people with a sense of fulfillment think it is a good world and would like to preserve it as it is, while the frustrated favor radical change. The tendency to look for all causes outside ourselves persists even when it is clear that our state of being is the product of personal qualities such as ability, character, appearance, health and so on.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64367]]></link><description><![CDATA[Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64367</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Familiarity is the root of the closest friendships, as well as the intensest hatreds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15149]]></link><description><![CDATA[Familiarity is the root of the closest friendships, as well as the intensest hatreds.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is more blessed to give than to receive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5743]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is more blessed to give than to receive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5743</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Age is a very high price to pay for maturity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1740]]></link><description><![CDATA[Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He mocks the people who proposes that the government shall protect the rich that they in turn may care for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18026]]></link><description><![CDATA[He mocks the people who proposes that the government shall protect the rich that they in turn may care for the laboring poor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18026</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can not sing the old songs now! It is not that I deem them low,  'Tis that I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57212]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can not sing the old songs now! It is not that I deem them low,  'Tis that I can't remember how   They go.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57212</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Cyprian, Bishop of Carthage, Martyr, 258 Commemoration of Ninian, Bishop of Galloway, Apostle to the Picts, c. 430 ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7198]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Cyprian, Bishop of Carthage, Martyr, 258 Commemoration of Ninian, Bishop of Galloway, Apostle to the Picts, c. 430 Commemoration of Edward Bouverie Pusey, Priest, tractarian, 1882  God desires and is pleased to communicate with us through the avenues of our minds, our wills, and our emotions.

This bondage becomes most painfully apparent in our lives when we earnestly feel the need of changing but cannot; when we are attracted to another value that for one reason or another conflicts with the desires of our true god --that value nearest and dearest to us. But our true god lies so deeply inside us that often we are not even consciously aware of its presence or of what it actually is.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6221</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The information is used by conservation groups and other agencies to set priorities for funding and research. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30527]]></link><description><![CDATA[The information is used by conservation groups and other agencies to set priorities for funding and research.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Henry Martyn, Translator of the Scriptures, Missionary in India & Persia, 1812 Continuing a short series about the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7353]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Henry Martyn, Translator of the Scriptures, Missionary in India & Persia, 1812 Continuing a short series about the early church:   The life of the early Church lay in constant intercommunication between all its parts; its health and growth were dependent on the free circulation of the life-blood of common thought and feeling. Hence it was firmly seated first on the great lines of communication across the empire, leading from its origin in Jerusalem to its imperial center in Rome. It had already struck root in Rome within little more than twenty years after the Crucifixion, and it had become really strong in the great city about thirty years after the Apostles began to look round and out from Jerusalem. This marvelous development was possible only because the seed of the new thought floated free on the main currents of communication, which were ever sweeping back and forward between the heart of the Empire and its outlying members. Paul, who mainly directed the great movement, threw himself boldly and confidently into the life of the time; he took the Empire as it was, accepted its political conformation and arrangement, and sought only to touch the spiritual and moral life of the people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This current administration cannot even bring home a soldier from Iraq and they talk about putting a man on the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47151]]></link><description><![CDATA[This current administration cannot even bring home a soldier from Iraq and they talk about putting a man on the moon.. didn't the Democrats whose candidates were elected in the last3 presidential elections do that?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We always hope.
