The former are those which live from hunting, fishing, or merely gleaning. By their economic activities they do not increase, but rather decrease, the amount of wealth in the world. The second kind of societies, producing societies, live by agricultural and pastoral activities. By these activities they seek to increase the amount of wealth in the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think it was a real advantage having tough judges tonight because we're heading into the states.

What is the Church for? If that is not kept in mind, the lay ministry, about which so much is being said at present, remains on the level of a many-sided activity in which the self-assertion of the laity threatens to be more evident than a new manifestation of the Church in modern society. The responsible participation of the laity in the discharge of the Church's divine calling is not primarily a matter of idealism and enthusiasm or organizational efficiency, but a new grasp and commitment to the meaning of God's redemptive purpose with mankind and with the world in the past, the present, and the future: a purpose which has its foundation and inexhaustible content in Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a destiny that makes us brothers, No one goes his way alone; All that we send into the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27145]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a destiny that makes us brothers, No one goes his way alone; All that we send into the lives of others, Comes back into our own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we resort to lawlessness, the only thing we can hope for is civil war, untold bloodshed, and the end ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54285]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we resort to lawlessness, the only thing we can hope for is civil war, untold bloodshed, and the end of our dreams.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54285</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The perfection of His relation to us swallows up all our imperfections, all our defeats, all our evils; for our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8212]]></link><description><![CDATA[The perfection of His relation to us swallows up all our imperfections, all our defeats, all our evils; for our childhood is born of His fatherhood. That man is perfect in faith who can come to God in the utter dearth of his feelings and his desires, without a glow or an aspiration, with the weight of low thoughts, failures, neglects, and wandering forgetfulness, and say to Him, "Thou art my refuge, because Thou art my home". Such a faith will not lead to presumption. The man who can pray such a prayer will know better than another that God is not mocked; that He is not a man that He should repent; that tears and entreaties will not work on Him to the breach of one of His laws; that for God to give a man, because he asked for it, that which was not in harmony with His laws of truth and right, would be to damn him -- to cast him into the outer darkness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8212</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing as mysterious as something clearly seen ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8840]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing as mysterious as something clearly seen]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hard gives more then he that hath nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49867]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hard gives more then he that hath nothing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13569]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide. -Ralph Waldo Emerson.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In this bad, twisted, topsy-turvy world, Where all the heaviest wrongs get uppermost. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62205]]></link><description><![CDATA[In this bad, twisted, topsy-turvy world, Where all the heaviest wrongs get uppermost.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is blind and marriage is the institution for the blind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27108]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is blind and marriage is the institution for the blind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27108</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nouvelle Cuisine, roughly translated, means: I can't believe I paid ninety-six dollars and I'm still hungry. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10152]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nouvelle Cuisine, roughly translated, means: I can't believe I paid ninety-six dollars and I'm still hungry.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10152</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A child's hand in yours - what tenderness it arouses, what power it conjures.
