We condemned them, our children, for seeking a different future. We hated them for their flowers, for their love, and for their unmistakable rejection of every hideous, mistaken compromise that we had made throughout our hollow, money-bitten, frightened, adult lives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19284</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The issue of school choice is still alive but vouchers as a means is not a choice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33246]]></link><description><![CDATA[The issue of school choice is still alive but vouchers as a means is not a choice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He hath eaten me out of house and home. -King Henry IV.

And they are present in such a way that he not only conceives them through ideas, as we have before us those things which our minds remember, but he truly looks upon them and discerns them as things placed before him. And this foreknowledge is extended throughout the universe to every creature. We call predestination God's eternal decree, by which he determined with himself what he willed to become of each man. For all are not created in equal condition; rather, eternal life is foreordained for some, eternal damnation for others. Therefore, as any man has been created to one or the other of these ends, we speak of him as predestined to life or death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of George Augustus Selwyn, first Bishop of New Zealand, 1878   Jesus hath many lovers of His heavenly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7932]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of George Augustus Selwyn, first Bishop of New Zealand, 1878   Jesus hath many lovers of His heavenly Kingdom, but few bearers of His Cross.

These were people who were putting up no resistance, many with no weapons, leaving in cars, trucks, carts, and on foot. The American armed forces bombed one endof the main highway from Kuwait City to Basra, sealing it off andthen bombed the other end of the highway, sealing it off. Theypositioned mechanized artillery units on the hill overlooking thearea and then, both from the air and the land, massacred every livingthing on the road. Fighter bombers, helicopter gunships, and armoredbattalions poured merciless firepower on those trapped in the trafficjams, backed up as much as 20 miles. One U.S. pilot reportedlysaid, It was like shooting fish in a barrel. That fateful stretchof road has since been dubbed the Highway of Death.In a report submitted to the Commission of Inquiry for theInternational War Crimes Tribunal, charges are made that those killedwere Palestinian and Kuwaiti civilians trying to escape the siege ofKuwait City and the return of Kuwaiti armed forces. The report claimsthat no attempt was made by U.S. military command to distinguishbetween military personnel and civilians.*****The Guardian newspaper in the UK has written of the 9000Iraqis killed by the RAF bombs in 1920, one of the 6 timesBritish oil interests have violated the people of Iraq in thelast 86 years.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The church is challenging such negative cultural elements as superstition, rugged individualism, materialism, hedonism, permissiveness and utilitarianism. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34980]]></link><description><![CDATA[The church is challenging such negative cultural elements as superstition, rugged individualism, materialism, hedonism, permissiveness and utilitarianism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The biggest thing is the willingness for everyone to buy in and do their roles.

This agreement being made, the Physician, time after time, applied his salve to her eyes, and on every visit took something away, stealing all her property little by little. And when he had got all she had, he healed her and demanded the promised payment. The Old Woman, when she recovered her sight and saw none of her goods in her house, would give him nothing. The Physician insisted on his claim, and. as she still refused, summoned her before the Judge. The Old Woman, standing up in the Court, argued: This man here speaks the truth in what he says; for I did promise to give him a sum of money if I should recover my sight: but if I continued blind, I was to give him nothing. Now he declares that I am healed. I on the contrary affirm that I am still blind; for when I lost the use of my eyes, I saw in my house various chattels and valuable goods: but now, though he swears I am cured of my blindness, I am not able to see a single thing in it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who has imagination without learning has wings but no feet. -Joseph Joubert. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20544]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who has imagination without learning has wings but no feet. -Joseph Joubert.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20544</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You don't get harmony when everybody sings the same note. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18754]]></link><description><![CDATA[You don't get harmony when everybody sings the same note.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I reject your reality and substitute it for my own. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20485]]></link><description><![CDATA[I reject your reality and substitute it for my own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20485</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In this world there is always danger for those who are afraid of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11061]]></link><description><![CDATA[In this world there is always danger for those who are afraid of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11061</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I do my full duty, the rest will take care of itself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13069]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I do my full duty, the rest will take care of itself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children.
