Irving teaches me the lesson of cheerfulness, Hawthorne shows me the hatefulness of sin, Longfellow gives me the soft, tranquil music of hope. Lowell makes us feel that we must give ourselves to our fellow men. Whittier sings to me of divine Fatherhood and human brotherhood. These are Christian lessons: who inspired them? Who put it into the heart of Martin Luther to nail those theses on the church door of Wittenberg? Who stirred and fired the soul of Savonarola? Who thrilled and electrified the soul of John Wesley? Jesus Christ is back of these all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Parents are often so busy with the physical rearing of children that they miss the glory of parenthood, just as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5998]]></link><description><![CDATA[Parents are often so busy with the physical rearing of children that they miss the glory of parenthood, just as the grandeur of the trees is lost when raking leaves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Self-respect permeates every aspect of your life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2272]]></link><description><![CDATA[Self-respect permeates every aspect of your life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[) Music is the balm that heals the forlorn ache of a distant star. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18902]]></link><description><![CDATA[) Music is the balm that heals the forlorn ache of a distant star.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18902</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That number showed the market the U.S. may not be able to lower interest rates as soon as people expected ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35004]]></link><description><![CDATA[That number showed the market the U.S. may not be able to lower interest rates as soon as people expected ... and that will lengthen the time before their recovery.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35004</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man's best fortune, or his worst, is his wife ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61855]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man's best fortune, or his worst, is his wife]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61855</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I also wish that the Pledge of Allegiance were directed at the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, as it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43728]]></link><description><![CDATA[I also wish that the Pledge of Allegiance were directed at the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, as it is when the President takes his oath of office, rather than to the flag and the nation]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43728</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our earth is but a small star in a great universe.
