I have fought all my life; I fight now, and will do so until the end of my days. Even although I now happen to be tried by one, whose opinion I hold in high esteem, I detest most violently the set-up that surrounds me here. It makes me feel that I am a Black man in a White man's court. This should not be I should feel perfectly at ease and at home with the assurance that I am being tried by a fellow South African, who does not regard me as an inferior, entitled to a special type of justice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What I see at this moment are the signs of a normal market.

We can so easily have talks with people, and they can say we have helped, write us grateful letters, even stand steady for a time till the juice we have put into them runs out; but, we may have brought them no hunger for God -- because that hunger is no ache in our own heart -- nor brought them anywhere near to the end of self.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn    September 13, 1999  Feast of John Chrysostom, Bishop of Constantinople, Teacher, 407  Not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up in life. These are words by which the slanderers of the nature, of the body, the impeachers of our flesh, are completely overthrown... We do not wish to cast aside the body, but corruption: not the flesh, but death. The body is one thing, corruption another; the body is one thing, death another... What is foreign to us is not the body but corruptibility.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6649</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[lovers alone wear sunlight. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25792]]></link><description><![CDATA[lovers alone wear sunlight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25792</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All that's bright must fade,-- The brightest still the fleetest;  All that's sweet was made   But to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50689]]></link><description><![CDATA[All that's bright must fade,-- The brightest still the fleetest;  All that's sweet was made   But to be lost when sweetest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not so important to be serious as it is to be serious about the important things.

He was not indifferent to observances, but the practices of the people bulked in His thoughts before the practices of the Church. It has been pointed out as a blemish on the immortal allegory of Bunyan that the Pilgrim never did anything -- anything but save his soul. The remark is scarcely fair, for the allegory is designedly the story of a soul in a single relation; and, besides, he did do a little. But the warning may well be weighed. The Pilgrim's one thought, his work by day, his dream by night, was escape. He took little part in the world through which he passed. He was a Pilgrim travelling through it; his business was to get through safe. Whatever this is, it is not Christianity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not on thy sole, but on thy soul, harsh Jew, Thou mak'st thy knife keen; but no metal can--  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14032]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not on thy sole, but on thy soul, harsh Jew, Thou mak'st thy knife keen; but no metal can--  No, not the hangman's axe--bear half the keenness   Of thy sharp envy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14032</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just because an animal is large, it doesn't mean he doesn't want kindness; however big Tigger seems to be, remember ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23771]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just because an animal is large, it doesn't mean he doesn't want kindness; however big Tigger seems to be, remember that he wants as much kindness as Roo.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23771</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Freud: If it’s not one thing, it’s your mother. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51987]]></link><description><![CDATA[Freud: If it’s not one thing, it’s your mother.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51987</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Christmas gift suggestions:To your enemy, forgiveness.To an opponent, tolerance.To a friend, your heart.
