Friend and foe alike are agreed on the question of the character of Jesus Christ... Whatever our creed, we stand with admiration before the sublime character of Jesus. Character is supreme in life, hence Jesus stood supreme in the supreme thing -- so supreme that, when we think of the ideal, we do not add virtue to virtue, but think of Jesus Christ, so that the standard of human life is no longer a code but a character.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8140</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At twenty years of age, the will reigns; at thirty, the wit; and at forty, the judgement. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62485]]></link><description><![CDATA[At twenty years of age, the will reigns; at thirty, the wit; and at forty, the judgement.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62485</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True Love burns the brightest, But the brightest flames leave the deepest scars. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20181]]></link><description><![CDATA[True Love burns the brightest, But the brightest flames leave the deepest scars.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20181</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The test of man is how well he is able to feel about what he thinks.

At the beginning of the 21st century, we are at a peak of human power, wealth and information... We need to look back at our wonderful natural and human heritage, and cherish and protect the abundant values to be found there. We need to look out to the sides and see other parts of the world that need our help and can provide good ideas to go forward...

Races and peoples, lo, we stand divided,  And, sharing not our griefs, no joy can share;  By wars and tumults love is mocked, derided  His conquering cross no kingdom wills to bear. Envious of heart, blind-eyed, with tongues confounded, Nation by nation still goes unforgiven, In wrath and fear, by jealousies surrounded,  Building proud towers which shall not reach to heaven. Lust of possession worketh desolations;  There is no meekness in the sons of earth;  Led by no star, the rulers of the nations  Still fail to bring us to the blissful birth: How shall we love Thee, holy hidden Being,  If we love not the world which Thou hast made?  O give us brother-love for better seeing  Thy Word made flesh, and in a manger laid.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6918</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If most men and women were forced to rely upon physical charm to attract lovers, their sexual lives would be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5768]]></link><description><![CDATA[If most men and women were forced to rely upon physical charm to attract lovers, their sexual lives would be not only meager but in a youth-worshiping country like America painfully brief.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're playing it all over our radio stations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29820]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're playing it all over our radio stations.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29820</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To love and to be loved is to feel the sun from both sides. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25733]]></link><description><![CDATA[To love and to be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Evaluate what you want -- because what gets measured, gets produced. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22783]]></link><description><![CDATA[Evaluate what you want -- because what gets measured, gets produced.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is spoke as a Christians ought to speak. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6176]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is spoke as a Christians ought to speak.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6176</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Add to golden numbers golden numbers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48537]]></link><description><![CDATA[Add to golden numbers golden numbers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The less confident you are, the more serious you have to act. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63053]]></link><description><![CDATA[The less confident you are, the more serious you have to act.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63053</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In extraordinary events ignorance of their causes produces astonishment. [Lat., Causarum ignoratio in re nova mirationem facit.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20402]]></link><description><![CDATA[In extraordinary events ignorance of their causes produces astonishment. [Lat., Causarum ignoratio in re nova mirationem facit.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20402</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Studying literature at Harvard is like learning about women at the Mayo clinic. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1281]]></link><description><![CDATA[Studying literature at Harvard is like learning about women at the Mayo clinic.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is just as cowardly to judge an absent person as it is wicked to strike a defenseless one.
