We cannot pity those we have wronged, nor can we be indifferent toward them. We must hate and persecute them or else leave the door open to self-contempt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He loves basketball, and he loves the Heat.

Nor is there any other foundation for any, nor other name by which any can be saved, but the name of Jesus. But how this foundation is presented, and how this name of Jesus is notified unto them, amongst whom there is no Gospel preached, no Church established, I am not curious in inquiring. I know that God can be as merciful as those tender Fathers present him to be; and I would be as charitable as they are. And therefore, humbly embracing that manifestation of his Son, which he hath afforded me, I leave God, to his unsearchable waies of working upon others, without further inquisition.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8068</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Change, when it comes, cracks everything open. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33883]]></link><description><![CDATA[Change, when it comes, cracks everything open.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33883</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The white man's happiness cannot be purchased by the black man's misery. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52921]]></link><description><![CDATA[The white man's happiness cannot be purchased by the black man's misery.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fly pride, says the peacock: mistress, that you know. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46002]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fly pride, says the peacock: mistress, that you know.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46002</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It takes 50000 nuts to put a car together, but only one to scatter them all over the road. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20310]]></link><description><![CDATA[It takes 50000 nuts to put a car together, but only one to scatter them all over the road.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You cannot be a leader, and ask other people to follow you, unless you know how to follow, too. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24455]]></link><description><![CDATA[You cannot be a leader, and ask other people to follow you, unless you know how to follow, too.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the greatest resources people cannot mobilize themselves is that they try to accomplish great things.

Theoretically, man is said to be nothing but an animal with a highly developed cerebrum.

After mankind has done away with the pseudo-religion of race and blood, it is faced with the even greater danger of a technocratical pseudo-religion. There is no room for human personality, freedom and justice in either of these new religions of divine man.
