The masses teeming and happy -- common clay, if you like -- eating, breeding, working, counting their pennies; people who just live; ordinary people; people you can't imagine dead. And then there are the others -- the noble ones, the heroes. The ones you can quite well imagine lying shot, pale and tragic; one minute triumphant with a guard of honor, and the next being marched away between two gendarmes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19250</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Carlos had a puncture and I was in his dust for a time.

But when we analyze it, it turns into a complex tangle of paradoxes. We become ourselves by dying to ourselves. We gain only what we give up, and if we give up everything we gain everything. We cannot find ourselves within ourselves, but only in others; yet at the same time, before we can go out to others we must first find ourselves. We must forget ourselves in order to become truly conscious of who we are. The best way to love ourselves is to love others; yet we cannot love others unless we love ourselves, since it is written, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." But if we love ourselves in the wrong way, we become incapable of loving anybody else. And indeed when we love ourselves wrongly, we hate ourselves; if we hate ourselves we cannot help hating others. Yet there is a sense in which we must hate others and leave them in order to find God... As for this finding of God, we cannot even look for Him unless we have already found Him, and we cannot find Him unless He has first found us. We cannot begin to seek Him without a special gift of His grace; yet if we wait for grace to move us before beginning to seek Him, we will probably never begin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One hour of thoughtful solitude may nerve the heart for days of conflict - girding up its armor to meet ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59238]]></link><description><![CDATA[One hour of thoughtful solitude may nerve the heart for days of conflict - girding up its armor to meet the most insidious foe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59238</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No gain is so certain as that which proceeds from the economical use of what you already have. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17151]]></link><description><![CDATA[No gain is so certain as that which proceeds from the economical use of what you already have.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The presidential vote in Peru is a matter of deep concern to us all, ...

When Jesus laid the duty of petition upon his disciples, He went on to assert the reasonableness of man's asking and God's answering. Jesus argues along the line of reason that, if an earthly parent does the best in his power for his children, ... the Almighty and All-Wise Love, of which human love is only the shadow, will do better still for His great family; and therefore our Master teaches that men ought everywhere to pray, without fear, with hope, and without doubt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are in some brown study. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58040]]></link><description><![CDATA[You are in some brown study.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58040</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves; they therefore remain bound. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2287]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves; they therefore remain bound.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no more sure tie between friends than when they are united in their objects and wishes. [Lat., Neque ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60132]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no more sure tie between friends than when they are united in their objects and wishes. [Lat., Neque est ullum certius amicitiae vinculum, quam consensus et societas consiliorum et voluntatum.,]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60132</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are always doing, says he, something for Posterity, but I would fain see Posterity do something for us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47851]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are always doing, says he, something for Posterity, but I would fain see Posterity do something for us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47851</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He not busy being born is busy dying. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21288]]></link><description><![CDATA[He not busy being born is busy dying.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21288</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The publication of 'The Colorado Kid' represents a big step forward for us, ...
