For you must be well aware that if we make an outward show of conversion to God without giving Him our hearts, it is only a shadow and pretence of virtue, and no true conversion. Any man or woman who neglects to maintain inward vigilance, and only makes an outward show of holiness in dress, speech, and behavior, is a wretched creature. For they watch the doings of other people and criticize their faults, imagining themselves to be something when in reality they are nothing. In this way they deceive themselves. Be careful to avoid this, and devote yourself inwardly to His likeness by humility, charity, and other spiritual virtues. In this way you will be truly converted to God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6561</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47250]]></link><description><![CDATA[Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47250</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Fox and the CrowA crow having stolen a bit of meat, perched in a tree and held it in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1598]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Fox and the CrowA crow having stolen a bit of meat, perched in a tree and held it in her beak. A Fox, seeing this, longed to possess the meat himself, and by a wily stratagem succeeded. How handsome is the Crow, he exclaimed, in the beauty of her shape and in the fairness of her complexion! Oh, if her voice were only equal to her beauty, she would deservedly be considered the Queen of Birds! This he said deceitfully; but the Crow, anxious to refute the reflection cast upon her voice, set up a loud caw and dropped the flesh. The Fox quickly picked it up, and thus addressed the Crow: My good Crow, your voice is right enough, but your wit is wanting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe we can and should have it all.
