It is enormously stimulating. It is small wonder that people who have been demanding all their lives to be heard so often fall speechless when confronted with one who gravely agrees to lend an ear. Man clamors for the freedom to express himself and for knowing that he counts. But once offered these conditions, he becomes frigthened. -Robert C. Murphy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If they could forget for a moment the correggiosity of Correggio and the learned babble of the sale-room and varnishing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45414]]></link><description><![CDATA[If they could forget for a moment the correggiosity of Correggio and the learned babble of the sale-room and varnishing Auctioneer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45414</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the writing is honest it cannot be separated from the man who wrote it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64508]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the writing is honest it cannot be separated from the man who wrote it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64508</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If your folks were Democrat or Republican you tend to vote that way.

His presence must never be used to provide a Christian justification for evil. To stand as a co-belligerent and not an ally will be to rally the middle ground for a genuine Third Way without mediocre compromise. The Third Way will not be easy. It will be lonely. Sometimes the Christian must have the courage to stand with the establishment, speaking boldly to the radicals and pointing out the destructive and counter-productive nature of their violence. At other times, he will stand as a co-belligerent with the radicals in their outrage and just demands for redress. The Christian is a co-belligerent with either or both when either or both are right, but... fearless in his opposition to either or both when they are wrong.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We hope they will review their position, because if they do not, it will damage the atmosphere of unity we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37420]]></link><description><![CDATA[We hope they will review their position, because if they do not, it will damage the atmosphere of unity we have in this critical time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You never see what you want to see, forever playing to the gallery. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2094]]></link><description><![CDATA[You never see what you want to see, forever playing to the gallery.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2094</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The freedom to move forward to new opportunities and to produce results comes from living in the present not the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45038]]></link><description><![CDATA[The freedom to move forward to new opportunities and to produce results comes from living in the present not the past]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45038</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When one is rising, standing, walking, doing something, stopping, one should constantly concentrate one's mind on the act and the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26893]]></link><description><![CDATA[When one is rising, standing, walking, doing something, stopping, one should constantly concentrate one's mind on the act and the doing of it, not one ones' relation to the act or its character or value...
