He insists he had 'legal authority derived from the Constitution and congressional resolution authorizing force.' But the Constitution explicitly requires the president to obey the law. And the post 9/11 congressional resolution authorizing 'all necessary force' in fighting terrorism was made in clear reference to military intervention. It did not scrap the Constitution and allow the president to do whatever he pleased in any area in the name of fighting terrorism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For all your days prepare, And meet them ever alike: When you are theanvil, bear-When you are the hammer, strike. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22669]]></link><description><![CDATA[For all your days prepare, And meet them ever alike: When you are theanvil, bear-When you are the hammer, strike.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22669</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You must not lose faith in humanity.

Now I ask for God. Supposing there is a tree full of fruits -- you will have to go and buy or beg the fruits from the owner of the tree. Every day you would have to go for one or two fruits. But if you can make the tree your own property, then all the fruits will be your own. In the same way, if God is your own, then all things in Heaven and on earth will be your own, because He is your Father and is everything to you; otherwise you will have to go and ask like a beggar for certain things. When they are used up, you will have to ask again. So ask not for gifts but for the Giver of Gifts: not for life but for the Giver of Life -- then life and the things needed for life will be added unto you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The scale at which we have been sending it now is unprecedented.
