Whenever, by exertion in any unselfish cause, health is broken or fortune impaired, or influential friends estranged, the follower of Christ is called an enthusiast, a fanatic, or even more plainly a man of unsound mind. He may be comforted by remembering that Jesus was said to be beside Himself when teaching and healing left Him not leisure even to eat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7271</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We wanted to make a version that wasn't so disturbing that you couldn't put it in a family movie, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38845]]></link><description><![CDATA[We wanted to make a version that wasn't so disturbing that you couldn't put it in a family movie,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38845</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The cat is above all things, a dramatist. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12818]]></link><description><![CDATA[The cat is above all things, a dramatist.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12818</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Culture is the sum of all the forms of art, of love, and of thought, which, in the coarse or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10828]]></link><description><![CDATA[Culture is the sum of all the forms of art, of love, and of thought, which, in the coarse or centuries, have enabled man to be less enslaved]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The graveyards are full of indispensable men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44046]]></link><description><![CDATA[The graveyards are full of indispensable men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Assassinations has never changed the history of the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19327]]></link><description><![CDATA[Assassinations has never changed the history of the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19327</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is the only real counselor; wisdom unfiltered through personal experience does not become a part of the moral tissue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65150]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is the only real counselor; wisdom unfiltered through personal experience does not become a part of the moral tissue.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Habit maketh no monke, ne wearing of guilt spurs maketh no knight. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2814]]></link><description><![CDATA[Habit maketh no monke, ne wearing of guilt spurs maketh no knight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In terms of sheer size, it makes a fabulous presentation.

Only when grace is recognized to be incomprehensible is it grace. Grace exists, therefore, only where the Resurrection is reflected. Grace is the gift of Christ, who exposes the gulf which separates God and man, and, by exposing it, bridges it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What's most tragic is that this denial of basic education leads to over 1 million unnecessary child and maternal deaths ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33146]]></link><description><![CDATA[What's most tragic is that this denial of basic education leads to over 1 million unnecessary child and maternal deaths a year.

Prosperity has power to intoxicate the imagination, to fix the mind upon the present scene, to produce confidence and elation, and to make him who enjoys affluence and honors forget the hand by which they were bestowed. It is seldom that we are otherwise than by affliction awakened to a sense of our imbecility, or taught to know how little all our acquisitions can conduce to safety or quiet, and how justly we may inscribe to the superintendence of a higher power those blessings which in the wantonness of success we considered as the attainments of our policy and courage.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The well-being of America's children is probably better than it ever has been. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34095]]></link><description><![CDATA[The well-being of America's children is probably better than it ever has been.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm happy to be here.
