Good example is followed. A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63024</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Which is the best government?

We must affirm both the mystery and God. The paradox remained, but now, at least, Job knew that it belonged there -- that it is built into the moral and physical orders, and into the very nature of God as He has permitted us humans to perceive Him. In a world where the universal principle is cause/effect, the book of Job reminds us that the principle is a reflection of the mysterious, self-revealing God. It is subsumed under Him, however, and He cannot be subsumed under it. The God-speeches remind us that a Person, not a principle, is Lord.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Absolute liberty is absence of restraint; responsibility is restraint; therefore, the ideally free individual is responsible to himself ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36467]]></link><description><![CDATA[Absolute liberty is absence of restraint; responsibility is restraint; therefore, the ideally free individual is responsible to himself]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every company's greatest assets are its customers, because without customers there is no company. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15929]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every company's greatest assets are its customers, because without customers there is no company.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15929</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Alas, why gnaw you so your nether lip? Some bloody passion shakes your very frame.  These are portents; but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45617]]></link><description><![CDATA[Alas, why gnaw you so your nether lip? Some bloody passion shakes your very frame.  These are portents; but yet I hope, I hope,   They do not point on me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45617</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that raises a large family does, indeed, while he lives to observe them, stand a broader mark for sorrow; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15178]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that raises a large family does, indeed, while he lives to observe them, stand a broader mark for sorrow; but then he stands a broader mark for pleasure too.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15178</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman who can't forgive should never have more than a nodding acquaintance with a man.
