Man, a child of God, is a person with a personal destiny and with eternal value. This Christian belief underlies the democratic principle that the State, first of all, exists for the sake of its citizens; the individual is important... As Christians we also believe that we are made for one another because we are made for God. "Solidarity" is a good word for our essential condition. Beneath all our differences is a unity... This Christian belief underlies a second basic democratic principle, which is, in governing themselves, people of a community -- in a town, a city, a state, a nation -- can, despite inevitable conflicts, press effectively toward the goal of justice and liberty for all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6192</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a hope for every woe, And a balm for every pain,  But the first joys of our heart ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23425]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's a hope for every woe, And a balm for every pain,  But the first joys of our heart   Come never back again!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music never dies.

A plausible form of an outward life, that has only learned rules and modes of religion by use and custom, often keeps the soul for some time at ease, though all its inward root and ground of sin has never been shaken or molested, though it has never tasted of the bitter waters of repentance and has only known the want of a Saviour by hearsay. But things cannot pass thus: sooner or later repentance must have a broken and a contrite heart; we must with our blessed Lord go over the brook Cedron, and with Him sweat great drops of sorrow before He can say for us, as He said for Himself: "It is finished.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8047</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If one tells the truth, one is sure sooner or later to be found out ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59790]]></link><description><![CDATA[If one tells the truth, one is sure sooner or later to be found out]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59790</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a society in the deepest solitude. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57176]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a society in the deepest solitude.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57176</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our country is the world--our countrymen are all mankind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45779]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our country is the world--our countrymen are all mankind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That is true culture which helps us to work for the social betterment of all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10833]]></link><description><![CDATA[That is true culture which helps us to work for the social betterment of all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We didn't bunch enough hits together.
