He is your ally. He is our ally, be he at the other end of the world. Love all living things whose humble task is not opposed in any way to yours, to ours: men with simple hearts, honest, without vanity and malice, and all the animals, because they are beautiful, without exception and without exception indifferent to whatever "idea" there may be. Love them, and you will see the eternal in the glance of their eyes of jet, amber, or emerald. Love also the trees, the plants, the water that runs though the meadow and on to the sea without knowing where it goes; love the mountain, the desert, the forest, the immense sky, full of light or full of clouds; because all these exceed man and reveal the eternal to you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who will not economize will have to agonize. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13346]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who will not economize will have to agonize.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13346</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing happens until something moves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/504]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing happens until something moves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/504</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Organizations cannot make a genius out of an incompetent.

The truth about man is that his ground is not in himself but in God -- that his essence is not in self sufficient reason but in the Word, in the challenge of God, in responsibility, not in self-sufficiency. The true being of man is realized when he bases himself upon God's Word. Faith is then not an impossibility or a salto mortale [mortal leap], but that which is truly natural; and the real salto mortale (a mortal leap indeed!) is just the assertion of autonomy, self-sufficiency, God-likeness. [It is] through this usurped independence [that] man separates himself from God, and at the same time isolates himself from his fellows. Individualism is the necessary consequence of rational autonomy, just as love is the necessary consequence of faith.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Toil, feel, think, hope; you will be sure to dream enough before you die, without arranging for it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12822]]></link><description><![CDATA[Toil, feel, think, hope; you will be sure to dream enough before you die, without arranging for it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12822</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[United we stand, divided we fall. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50692]]></link><description><![CDATA[United we stand, divided we fall.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think that's the area that's most disappointing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38453]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think that's the area that's most disappointing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38453</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[American snacks like muffins, cookies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29834]]></link><description><![CDATA[American snacks like muffins, cookies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Believing nothing does whilst there remained anything else to be done. [Lat., Nil actum credens, dum quid superesset agendum.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44670]]></link><description><![CDATA[Believing nothing does whilst there remained anything else to be done. [Lat., Nil actum credens, dum quid superesset agendum.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trouble is, kids feel they have to shock their elders and each generation grows up into something harder to shock. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62594]]></link><description><![CDATA[Trouble is, kids feel they have to shock their elders and each generation grows up into something harder to shock.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greater your capacity to love, the greater your capacity to feel the pain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5391]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greater your capacity to love, the greater your capacity to feel the pain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many a man spanks his children for the things his own father should have spanked out of him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52578]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many a man spanks his children for the things his own father should have spanked out of him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What our contempts do often hurl from us, We wish it ours again. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51225]]></link><description><![CDATA[What our contempts do often hurl from us, We wish it ours again.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51225</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We know the assets are there.
