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[He who has provoked the shaft of wit, cannot complain that he smarts from it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61833]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who has provoked the shaft of wit, cannot complain that he smarts from it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Absolutism tempered by assassination. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43392]]></link><description><![CDATA[Absolutism tempered by assassination.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43392</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Family means no one gets left behind or forgotten. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66190]]></link><description><![CDATA[Family means no one gets left behind or forgotten.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66190</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Abilene is a good team, and they beat us.

In much the same way, specks of knowledge are scattered through a vast emptiness of ignorance, and everything depends upon how solid the individual specks of knowledge are, and on how powerfully linked and coordinated they are with one another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52163</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A city has values as well as slums, excitement as well as conflict a personality that has not yet been ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31347]]></link><description><![CDATA[A city has values as well as slums, excitement as well as conflict a personality that has not yet been obliterated by its highways and gas stations.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31347</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What was the point of being scared?

But it is necessary that we face this also. The full acceptance of our abjection and uselessness is the virtue that can make us and others rich in the grace of God. It takes heroic charity and humility to let others sustain us when we are absolutely incapable of sustaining ourselves. We cannot suffer well unless we see Christ everywhere, both in suffering and in the charity of those who come to the aid of our affliction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no substitute for hard work. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21249]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no substitute for hard work.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21249</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The moon pull'd off her veil of light, That hides her face by day from sight  (Mysterious veil, of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43064]]></link><description><![CDATA[The moon pull'd off her veil of light, That hides her face by day from sight  (Mysterious veil, of brightness made,)   That's both her lustre and her shade),    And in the lantern of the night,     With shining horns hung out her light.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43064</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're here to endorse the plan of Kevin Helfer.
