I have fought all my life; I fight now, and will do so until the end of my days. Even although I now happen to be tried by one, whose opinion I hold in high esteem, I detest most violently the set-up that surrounds me here. It makes me feel that I am a Black man in a White man's court. This should not be I should feel perfectly at ease and at home with the assurance that I am being tried by a fellow South African, who does not regard me as an inferior, entitled to a special type of justice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you're 0-9, you've got a lot of flaws. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29485]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you're 0-9, you've got a lot of flaws.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29485</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The very best financial presentation is one that's well thought out and anticipates any questions... answering them in advance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15744]]></link><description><![CDATA[The very best financial presentation is one that's well thought out and anticipates any questions... answering them in advance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15744</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9019]]></link><description><![CDATA[Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9019</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Publicity is a great purifier because it sets in action the forces of public opinion, and in this country public ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52516]]></link><description><![CDATA[Publicity is a great purifier because it sets in action the forces of public opinion, and in this country public opinion controls the courses of the nation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And pulpit, drum ecclesiastic, Was beat with fist instead of a stick. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48071]]></link><description><![CDATA[And pulpit, drum ecclesiastic, Was beat with fist instead of a stick.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48071</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have defined Ladies as people who did not do things themselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23968]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have defined Ladies as people who did not do things themselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23968</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To see what is right and not to do it, is want of courage. -Confucius Analects. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10401]]></link><description><![CDATA[To see what is right and not to do it, is want of courage. -Confucius Analects.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10401</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man's ability may be strengthened or increased by culture ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38326]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every man's ability may be strengthened or increased by culture]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With electricity we were wired into a new world, for electricity brought the radio, a "crystal set" and with enough ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13698]]></link><description><![CDATA[With electricity we were wired into a new world, for electricity brought the radio, a "crystal set" and with enough ingenuity, one could tickle the crystal with a cat's whisker and pick up anything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13698</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pray Him to give you what the Scriptures call "an honest and good heart," or "a perfect heart;" and, without ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7216]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pray Him to give you what the Scriptures call "an honest and good heart," or "a perfect heart;" and, without waiting, begin at once to obey Him with the best heart you have.

Prayer stamps with its indelible mark our actions and demeanor. A tranquillity of bearing, a facial and bodily repose, are observed in those whose inner lives are thus enriched. Within the depths of consciousness a flame kindles. And man sees himself. He discovers his selfishness, his silly pride, his fears, his greeds, his blunders. He develops a sense of moral obligation, intellectual humility. Thus begins a journey of the soul toward the realm of grace... [Continued tomorrow].]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You got people going home, with people seeing they got nothing and spotting a house that's high and dry.

But man, being himself a part of fallen nature and subject to its disordered properties, is not allowed to work with them, because it would be stirring up evil in himself, and that is his sin of wrath or revenge. God therefore reserves all vengeance to Himself, not because wrathful revenge is a temper or quality that can have any place in the holy Deity, but because the holy supernatural Deity, being free from all the properties of nature, whence partial love and hatred spring, and being in Himself nothing but an infinity of love, wisdom, and goodness, He alone knows how to overrule the disorders of nature, and so to repay evil with evil, that the highest good may be promoted by it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[More helpful than all wisdom is one draught of simple human pity that will not forsake us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46622]]></link><description><![CDATA[More helpful than all wisdom is one draught of simple human pity that will not forsake us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46622</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A skeptic is a person who, when he sees the handwriting on the wall, claims it is a forgery. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44170]]></link><description><![CDATA[A skeptic is a person who, when he sees the handwriting on the wall, claims it is a forgery.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44170</guid></item></channel></rss>
