Without realizing it, he makes society rather than himself the agent of change. The power he finds in his victimization may lead him to collective action against society, but it also encourages passivity within the sphere of his personal life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is highly significant, and indeed almost a rule, that moral courage has its source in identification through one's own ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52108]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is highly significant, and indeed almost a rule, that moral courage has its source in identification through one's own sensitivity with the suffering of one's fellow human beings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52108</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart, and set outto accomplish it.

He should make this purpose the centralizing point ofhis thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or it may be aworldly object, according to his nature at the time being; but whicheverit is, he should steadily focus his thought forces upon the object whichhe has set before him. He should make this purpose his supreme duty, andshould devote himself to its attainment, not allowing his thoughts towander away into ephemeral fancies, longings, and imaginings. This is theroyal road to self-control and true concentration of thought. Even if hefails again and again to accomplish his purpose (as he necessarily mustuntil weakness is overcome), the strength of character gained will be themeasure of his true success, and this will form a new starting point forfuture power and triumph.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man's many desires are like the small metal coins he carries around inhis pocket.
