And these ideas are more active, stronger, more resistant, more passionate than "politicians" think. We have to be there at the birth of ideas, the bursting outward of their force: not in books expressing them, but in events manifesting this force, in struggles carried on around ideas, for or against them. Ideas do not rule the world. But it is because the world has ideas... that it is not passively ruled by those who are its leaders or those who would like to teach it, once and for all, what it must think.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9479</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The both of them, they released the best of the best. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31089]]></link><description><![CDATA[The both of them, they released the best of the best.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31089</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Aelred of Hexham, Abbot of Rievaulx, 1167 Commemoration of Benedict Biscop, Abbot of Wearmouth, Scholar, 689  God's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6609]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Aelred of Hexham, Abbot of Rievaulx, 1167 Commemoration of Benedict Biscop, Abbot of Wearmouth, Scholar, 689  God's unchangeableness is the very foundation of desire and hope and activity in things religious as in things natural.

The man whose prayer is so pure that he never asks God for anything does not know who God is, and does not know who he is himself: for he does not know his own need of God. All true prayer somehow confesses our absolute dependence on the Lord of life and death. It is, therefore, a deep and vital contact with Him whom we know not only as Lord but as Father. It is when we pray truly that we really are. Our being is brought to a high perfection by this.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, Christ! it is a goodly sight to see What Heaven hath done for this delicious land! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25955]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, Christ! it is a goodly sight to see What Heaven hath done for this delicious land!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Earnings have been good, but what you're starting to see is a return to the attitude about earnings that we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34038]]></link><description><![CDATA[Earnings have been good, but what you're starting to see is a return to the attitude about earnings that we saw in the late 1990's, where you're seeing more talk about whisper numbers, higher expectations, and a more punitive reaction to numbers that disappoint.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34038</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men will sooner surrender their rights than their customs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10889]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men will sooner surrender their rights than their customs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Resolved, never to do anything which I should be afraid to do if it were the last hour of my ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8562]]></link><description><![CDATA[Resolved, never to do anything which I should be afraid to do if it were the last hour of my life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8562</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Under every stone lurks a politician. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29576]]></link><description><![CDATA[Under every stone lurks a politician.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A great unrecognized incapacity. [Fr., Une grande incapacite inconnue.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5633]]></link><description><![CDATA[A great unrecognized incapacity. [Fr., Une grande incapacite inconnue.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By unseen hand uplifted in the light Of sunset, yonder solitary cloud  Floats, with its white apparel blown abroad, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8909]]></link><description><![CDATA[By unseen hand uplifted in the light Of sunset, yonder solitary cloud  Floats, with its white apparel blown abroad,   And wafted up to heaven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The state puts a lot of mandates on the town, not just for education, ...

We think of His earthly life as moving on a plane so different from ours that no parallel can be drawn between them. What we forget is, that He too needed to walk by faith, needed to be filled with the Holy Spirit, needed the sympathy of loving friends, needed the strengthening that is gained by private prayer. His strong and beautiful, serene and holy life so fills the eye that we lose sight of His secret intercourse with the Father, out of which came all its beauty, all its power.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are cautiously investigating the deaths with murder, murder by contract and other possible charges in mind.

Life is supplied with a basic adequacy... The conscious mind determines the actions, the unconscious mind determines the reactions; and the reactions are just as important as the actions. Many Christians are Christians in their actions -- they don't lie, steal, commit adultery, or get drunk; but they react badly to what happens to them: they react in anger, bad temper, self-pity, jealousy, and envy... When the depths are upheld by the Holy Spirit, then the reaction is Christian.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8255</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's better to waste one's youth than to do nothing with it at all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20686]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's better to waste one's youth than to do nothing with it at all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20686</guid></item></channel></rss>
