It is a world full of doubt and confusion, where vulnerability must be hidden, not shared; where competition, not co-operation, is the order of the day; where men sacrifice the possibility of knowing their own children and sharing in their upbringing, for the sake of a job they may have chosen by chance, which may not suit them and which in many cases dominates their lives to the exclusion of much else.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27083</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every act of creation is first an act of destruction. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12108]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every act of creation is first an act of destruction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12108</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hope if dogs ever take over the world, and they chose a king, they don't just go by size, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11755]]></link><description><![CDATA[I hope if dogs ever take over the world, and they chose a king, they don't just go by size, because I bet there are some Chihuahuas with some good ideas.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11755</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That kid was aggressive.

All we can do is believe or disbelieve; to give it in our life the place of the final reality to which everything else must give way, or to refuse it that place. Many people ... would like to talk the Word of God over. It raises in their minds various questions they would willingly discuss. It has aspects of interest and of difficulty which call for consideration; and so on. Perhaps there are some that confusedly shield themselves against the responsibilities of faith and unbelief by such thoughts. All that such thoughts prove, however, is that those who cherish them have never yet realized that what we are dealing with in the Gospel is GOD. When God speaks in Christ, He reveals His gracious will without qualification. And without qualification, we have to believe in it, or refuse to believe, and so decide the controversy between ourselves and Him. God has not come into the world in Christ ... to be talked about, but to become the supreme reality on the life of men, or to be excluded from that place.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8024</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The dog was created specially for children.

This is a mercy for the Christian; for when does sin ever occur in the community that he must not examine and blame himself for his own unfaithfulness in prayer and intercession, his lack of brotherly service, of fraternal reproof and encouragement -- indeed, for his own personal sin and spiritual laxity, by which he has done injury to himself, the fellowship, and the brethren? Since every sin of a member burdens and indicts the whole community, the congregation rejoices, in the midst of all the pain and the burden that the brother's sin inflicts, that it has the privilege of bearing and forgiving.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatever is done without ostentation, and without the people being witnesses of it, is, in my opinion, most praiseworthy: not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45319]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whatever is done without ostentation, and without the people being witnesses of it, is, in my opinion, most praiseworthy: not that the public eye should be entirely avoided, for good actions desire to be placed in the light; but notwithstanding this, the greatest theater for virtue is conscience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing except the mint can make money without advertising. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63835]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing except the mint can make money without advertising.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is a great big canvas; throw all the paint you can at it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27952]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is a great big canvas; throw all the paint you can at it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27952</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We will no longer tolerate from this day the security anarchy, the armed chaos and the kidnappings, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41316]]></link><description><![CDATA[We will no longer tolerate from this day the security anarchy, the armed chaos and the kidnappings,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41316</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice.
