How things really are --- and always will be --- is neither all-evil nor all-good but deficient, inconsistent, inferior. Principles invite us to do something about the morass of contradictions in which we function morally. Principles invite us to clean up our act; to become intolerant of moral laxity and compromise and cowardice and the turning away from what is upsetting: that secret gnawing of the heart that tells us that what we are doing is not right, and so counsels us that we'd be better off just not thinking about it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I will indulge my sorrows, and give way To all the pangs and fury of despair. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12002]]></link><description><![CDATA[I will indulge my sorrows, and give way To all the pangs and fury of despair.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12002</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are all the President's men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10400]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are all the President's men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Autumn wood the aster knows, The empty nest, the wind that grieves,  The sunlight breaking thro' the shade, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3386]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Autumn wood the aster knows, The empty nest, the wind that grieves,  The sunlight breaking thro' the shade,   The squirrel chattering overhead,    The timid rabbits lighter tread     Among the rustling leaves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3386</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The dream reveals the reality which conception lags behind.

Ideology may well be defined as religion-substitute. The fact that religious faith expresses itself in the particular ideological forms current in any given period is no reason why we should confuse religion with ideology; and, even though it requires a penetrating and candid investigation to distinguish between the genuinely religious and the merely ideological elements in the outlook of a particular period or individual, this does not mean that religion itself is an aspect of ideology. The core of religious belief is not ideological, whatever may be said of the soft pulp in which it is wrapped up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Champions do not become champions when they win the event, but in the hours, weeks, months and years they spend ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14423]]></link><description><![CDATA[Champions do not become champions when they win the event, but in the hours, weeks, months and years they spend preparing for it.

The figure who emerged is quite unlike the Jesus of conventional piety, and even more unlike that imagined hero whom members of various causes claim as their champion. What we are so often confronted with today is a "processed" Jesus. Every element that we feel is not consonant with our "image" of him is removed, and the result is more insipid and unsatisfying than the worst of processed food.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Is there any one maxim which ought to be acted upon throughout one's whole life?
