A grievance is most poignant when almost redressed. De Tocqueville in his researches into the state of society in France before the revolution was struck by the discovery that "in no one of the periods which have followed the Revolution of 1789 has the national prosperity of France augmented more rapidly than it did in the twenty years preceding that event." He is forced to conclude that "the French found their position the more intolerable the better it became.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bred in the lap of Republican Freedom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16683]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bred in the lap of Republican Freedom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Judges selected Pay By Touch as the winner in this category for bringing an innovative business solution that allows smaller ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33851]]></link><description><![CDATA[Judges selected Pay By Touch as the winner in this category for bringing an innovative business solution that allows smaller and mid-sized businesses to compete on equal footing with larger businesses -- as well as for their ability to offer this solution to customers around the world.

At whatever moment in which one turns to him the prayer is received, is heard, is authenticated, for it is God who gives our prayer its value and its character, not our interior dispositions, not our fervor, not our lucidity.

But, since we are concerned with an occurrence which is by hypothesis unique in certain relevant aspects, we are most unlikely to be able to give confident answers to them. [Paul M.] van Buren's remarks about biology and the twentieth century are nothing more than rhetoric or, at best, are simply empirical statements about his own psychology. The first century knew as well as the twentieth that dead bodies do not naturally come to life again, and no amount of twentieth-century knowledge about natural processes can tell us what may happen by supernatural means.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6212</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Swift as a shadow, short as any dream; Brief as the lightning in the collied night, That in a spleen ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55511]]></link><description><![CDATA[Swift as a shadow, short as any dream; Brief as the lightning in the collied night, That in a spleen unfolds both heaven and earth, And ere a man hath power to say, Behold!

Let us live while we live; let us be alive and doing; let us act on what we have, since we have not what we wish. Let us believe what we do not see and know. Let us forestall knowledge by faith. Let us maintain before we have demonstrated. This seeming paradox is the secret of happiness. Why should we be unwilling to go by faith? We do all things in this world by faith in the word of others. By faith only do we know our position in the world, our circumstances, our rights and privileges, our fortunes, our parents, our brothers and sisters, our age, our mortality. Why should Religion be an exception? Why should we be unwilling to use for heavenly objects what we daily use for earthly?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What should a man do but be merry?

Man knows his sin, which without temptation he could never have known; for in temptation man knows on what he has set his heart. The coming to light of sin is the work of the accuser, who thereby thinks to have won the victory. But it is sin which is become manifest which can be known, and therefore forgiven. Thus the manifestation of sin belongs to the salvation plan of God with man, and Satan must serve this plan.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do not believe that the accident of birth makes people sisters and brothers.
