But a rational life, the life of a valuer, does not consist essentially in reaction. It consists in action. Man does not find his values, like the other animals; he creates them. The primary focus of a valuer is not to take the world as it comes and pass judgment. His primary focus is to identify what might and ought to exist, to uncover potentialities that he can exploit, to find ways of reshaping the world in the image of his values.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11586]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11586</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you can learn to love yourself and all the flaws, you can love other people so much better.

This perhaps may seem to some a great oversight and omission. But our Lord in great wisdom thought fit to give us a pattern of a quite different sort of life, which was, not to fly the conversation of men and to live in a monastery or a wilderness, but to do good among men, to live in the world with great freedom and with great innocence. He did indeed sometimes retire himself for the more free and private exercise of devotion, as we ought to do; but he passed his life chiefly in the conversation of men, that they might have all the benefit that was possible of his instruction and example We read that "he was carried into the wilderness to be tempted," but not that he lived there to avoid temptation. He hath given us an example of denying the world without leaving it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Suspicion is the courageous side of weakness ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58402]]></link><description><![CDATA[Suspicion is the courageous side of weakness]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58402</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have every intention of relaunching cruise service from the great city of New Orleans as soon as the infrastructure ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42718]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have every intention of relaunching cruise service from the great city of New Orleans as soon as the infrastructure is in place so that our ships may contribute to the economic recovery of the area.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42718</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have forced myself to contradict myself in order to avoid conforming to my own taste. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10033]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have forced myself to contradict myself in order to avoid conforming to my own taste.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10033</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A maxim is the exact and noble expression of an important and indisputable truth.

The Church of the Lord Jesus should be a group of those who are redeemed and bound together on the basis of true doctrine. But subsequently they should show together a substantial "sociological healing" of the breaches between men, which have come about because of... man's sin. The Christian sociological position is that the sociological problems which we find... are a result of the separation that has come between men because of sin.
