One day liberty has to be defended against the power of wealth, on another day against the intrigues of politicians, on another against the dead hand of bureaucrats, on another against the patrioter and the militarist, on another against the profiteer, and then against the hysteria and the passions of the mobs, against obscurantism and stupidity, against the criminal and against the overrighteous. In this campaign every civilized man is enlisted till he dies, and he only has known the full joy of living who somewhere and at some time has struck a decisive blow for the freedom of the human spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47414</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The eye sees what it brings the power to see. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60854]]></link><description><![CDATA[The eye sees what it brings the power to see.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O Rome! my country! city of the soul! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54400]]></link><description><![CDATA[O Rome! my country! city of the soul!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Absolute power corrupts even when exercised for humane purposes.

But the things of the soul are far more momentous, and to be asked to deal with huge, unfathomable facts like the Cross in a few minutes, means that people are not really interested in these things. This is, of course, a snippety age, with a snippety press, and snippety novels. But must we preachers follow and be snippety, too?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7848</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It has come to be practically a sort of rule in literature, that a man, having once shown himself capable ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46639]]></link><description><![CDATA[It has come to be practically a sort of rule in literature, that a man, having once shown himself capable of original writing, is entitled thenceforth to steal from the writings of others at discretion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46639</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're dealing with some of the same countries that we're dealing with.

So, if God puts up with it for the sake of some good He foresees for you, and if you are willing to suffer what God suffers, and to take what comes to you through Him, then whatever it is, it becomes divine in itself; shame becomes honor, bitterness becomes sweet, and gross darkness, clear light. Everything takes its flavor from God and becomes divine; everything that happens [reveals] God when a man's mind works that way; things all have this one taste; and therefore God is the same to this man alike in life's bitterest moments and sweetest pleasures.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The candidate was required to prepare himself by confession, fasting, and passing the night in prayer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36596]]></link><description><![CDATA[The candidate was required to prepare himself by confession, fasting, and passing the night in prayer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36596</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The memory of things gone is important to a jazz musician.

His presence must never be used to provide a Christian justification for evil. To stand as a co-belligerent and not an ally will be to rally the middle ground for a genuine Third Way without mediocre compromise. The Third Way will not be easy. It will be lonely. Sometimes the Christian must have the courage to stand with the establishment, speaking boldly to the radicals and pointing out the destructive and counter-productive nature of their violence. At other times, he will stand as a co-belligerent with the radicals in their outrage and just demands for redress. The Christian is a co-belligerent with either or both when either or both are right, but... fearless in his opposition to either or both when they are wrong.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Three brothers, three fortresses ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44783]]></link><description><![CDATA[Three brothers, three fortresses]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With the exception of the instinct of self-preservation, the propensity for emulation is probably the strongest and most alert and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43260]]></link><description><![CDATA[With the exception of the instinct of self-preservation, the propensity for emulation is probably the strongest and most alert and persistent of the economic motives proper]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43260</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[hemorrhaging of the Democratic base usually happens when the incumbent mayor is perceived as the winner. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35632]]></link><description><![CDATA[hemorrhaging of the Democratic base usually happens when the incumbent mayor is perceived as the winner.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35632</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Passion, it lies in all of us, sleeping... waiting... and though unwanted... unbidden... it will stir... open its jaws and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11948]]></link><description><![CDATA[Passion, it lies in all of us, sleeping... waiting... and though unwanted... unbidden... it will stir... open its jaws and howl.
