Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading for success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good. -Vaclav Havel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We can draw lessons from the past, but we cannot live in it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63313]]></link><description><![CDATA[We can draw lessons from the past, but we cannot live in it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For all may have, If they dare to try, a glorious life, or grave. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2324]]></link><description><![CDATA[For all may have, If they dare to try, a glorious life, or grave.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have confidence and belief we can play Chattanooga.

What it did was to guarantee that the old morality was actually valid, and the old beliefs literally true. "Ye worship ye know not what, but we know what we worship," "that which we have seen with our eyes and our hands have handled" -- "He suffered under Pontius Pilate." God died -- not in a legend, not in a symbol, not in a distant past nor in a realm unknown, but here, [in the crucifiction of Christ]; the whole great cloudy castle of natural religion and poetic prophecy is brought down to earth and firmly cemented upon that angular and solid cornerstone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is an achievement of all Iraqis. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34843]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is an achievement of all Iraqis.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Crises and deadlocks when they occur have at least this advantage, that they force us to think. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10717]]></link><description><![CDATA[Crises and deadlocks when they occur have at least this advantage, that they force us to think.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10717</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you’re thirty you’re old enough to know better, but still young enough to go ahead and do it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27445]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you’re thirty you’re old enough to know better, but still young enough to go ahead and do it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27445</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All difficult things have their origin in that which is easy, and great things in that which is small. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63586]]></link><description><![CDATA[All difficult things have their origin in that which is easy, and great things in that which is small.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63586</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a dangerous business, going out your door.
