If, when they find it, they refuse to deny it, in due time, by ways now unsearchable, they will surely return to external communion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never give a man up until he has failed at something he likes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14935]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never give a man up until he has failed at something he likes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14935</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wise men are not always silent, but they know when to be ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26991]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wise men are not always silent, but they know when to be]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But it is not reason that governs love. [Fr., Mais la raison n'est pas ce qui regle l'amour.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53103]]></link><description><![CDATA[But it is not reason that governs love. [Fr., Mais la raison n'est pas ce qui regle l'amour.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are in the process here of learning to think movement.

Philanthropy, as we practice it, is not enough --- although the word philanthropy actually means brotherhood.
