But a rational life, the life of a valuer, does not consist essentially in reaction. It consists in action. Man does not find his values, like the other animals; he creates them. The primary focus of a valuer is not to take the world as it comes and pass judgment. His primary focus is to identify what might and ought to exist, to uncover potentialities that he can exploit, to find ways of reshaping the world in the image of his values.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yes,--rather plunge me back in pagan night, And take my chance with Socrates for bliss,  Than be the Christian ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6165]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yes,--rather plunge me back in pagan night, And take my chance with Socrates for bliss,  Than be the Christian of a faith like this,   Which builds on heavenly cant its earthly sway,    And in a convert mourns to lose a prey.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6165</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is easy to be tolerant of the principles of other people if you have none of your own. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59431]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is easy to be tolerant of the principles of other people if you have none of your own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Make ducks and drakes with shillings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42959]]></link><description><![CDATA[Make ducks and drakes with shillings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Martha had a very good time, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35346]]></link><description><![CDATA[Martha had a very good time,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35346</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Birinus, Bishop of Dorchester (Oxon), Apostle of Wessex, 650  In his enthusiasm, the evangelist often finds it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7426]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Birinus, Bishop of Dorchester (Oxon), Apostle of Wessex, 650  In his enthusiasm, the evangelist often finds it difficult seriously to imagine that anyone could be called not to be an evangelist. The man of vision and imagination finds it difficult to see the value of those who do no more than plod on faithfully along a well-tried road. The man whose concern is in personal dealing with people and leading them to understand God better finds it difficult to be patient with the theologian or the Christian philosopher whose work is in the quiet of a book-lined study. Yet the truth is that the wholeness which God is working to achieve is never complete in an individual, but through individuals living together as one body, each supplying the deficiencies of the others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man's destiny is alwayes dark. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49057]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man's destiny is alwayes dark.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49057</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everybody, sooner or later, sits down to a banquet of consequences. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9834]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everybody, sooner or later, sits down to a banquet of consequences.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Carve your name in hearts, not marble. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2218]]></link><description><![CDATA[Carve your name in hearts, not marble.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2218</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No preacher is listened to but time, which gives us the same train and turn of thought that elder people ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48064]]></link><description><![CDATA[No preacher is listened to but time, which gives us the same train and turn of thought that elder people have in vain tried to put into our heads before]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48064</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How many times have you heard this statement, I haven't time.

But we can at least crystallize the lessons into two simple maxims- one negative, the other positive. The first is that, in face of the overwhelming evidence of history, no general is justified in launching his troops to a direct attack upon an enemy firmly in position. The second, that instead of seeking to upset the enemy's equilibrium by one's attack, it must be upset before a real attack is, or can be successfully launched.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On me, on me Time and change can heap no more!  The painful past with blighting grief   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18333]]></link><description><![CDATA[On me, on me Time and change can heap no more!  The painful past with blighting grief   Hath left my heart a withered leaf.    Time and change can do no more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51477]]></link><description><![CDATA[Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was a nice little market to get into.

But Jesus did believe in Him, was sure He is alive and abroad in the world; that, therefore, anything may happen any hour. And thus to Him any smallest incident was a magic casement opening upon who could tell what possibilities. A fisherman offers Him a crude, inchoate half-faith, and with that He is sure that He can found a world-wide Church that will defy the powers of evil, aye, and grind them into nothingness at last: a dying brigand, paying the just penalties of his crimes, gropes towards Him in the darkness with the vague hands of a blind man, and, founding upon that, Christ dies, quite sure that He has won: two or three Gentiles seek an interview with Him, and He sees a whole teeming world of men and women being saved.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7808</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I met someone on the street who said wasn't it great that we're going to have a movie star for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47659]]></link><description><![CDATA[I met someone on the street who said wasn't it great that we're going to have a movie star for president, that it was so Pop, and (laughs) when you think about it like that, it is great, it's so American.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47659</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nonetheless, struggle for civilian supremacy is still perilous and uncertain, ...
