The American standard of living has risen to unprecedented heights, although a large portion of the world exists on a sub-human level. Philanthropy, as we practice it, is not enough --- although the word philanthropy actually means brotherhood. Our stewardship of God's goods requires that we administer in God's name -- that is, with full awareness that the world is His and that His love is directed toward us no more fully than toward every man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I maintain the rather old-fashioned view that this is my w0rk and it's in the public arena, but that doesn't ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34970]]></link><description><![CDATA[I maintain the rather old-fashioned view that this is my w0rk and it's in the public arena, but that doesn't entitle everyone to know what happened at home before coming here . . .]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34970</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes I think of life as a process where everybody is discouraging and taking everybody else down a peg or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63952]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes I think of life as a process where everybody is discouraging and taking everybody else down a peg or two.rn]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63952</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Their silence cries aloud. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48881]]></link><description><![CDATA[Their silence cries aloud.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48881</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a far, far better thing that I do, than anything I have ever done; it is a far, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11410]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a far, far better thing that I do, than anything I have ever done; it is a far, far, better rest that I go to, than I have ever known.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11410</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Civilization begins with order, grows with liberty, and dies with chaos. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8835]]></link><description><![CDATA[Civilization begins with order, grows with liberty, and dies with chaos.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Courage is doing what you're afraid to do.
