Not only has liberty nothing to do with any other sort of equality, but it is even bound to produce inequality in many respects. This is the necessary result and part of the justification of individual liberty: if the result of individual liberty did not demonstrate that some manners of living are more successful than others, much of the case for it would vanish.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And many an ante-natal tomb When butterflies dream of the life to come. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5153]]></link><description><![CDATA[And many an ante-natal tomb When butterflies dream of the life to come.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5153</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is an exciting time for the Rockets.

It does not always ask words, but it always wants work. The motives and not the means are the things on which it passes judgment. And the man who shows by his life that he is not ashamed of the Gospel will assuredly one day find that the Gospel is not ashamed of him. There is much more which might be said, but I refrain. Ere I close, you will let me add my emphasis to the fact that it is in our life and conduct that we must show our devotion to Christ. The silent Gospel reaches further than the grandest rhetoric.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't brood on what's past, but never forget it either. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19408]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't brood on what's past, but never forget it either.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Amy Carmichael, Founder of the Dohnavour Fellowship, 1951   How often we look upon God as our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8240]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Amy Carmichael, Founder of the Dohnavour Fellowship, 1951   How often we look upon God as our last and feeblest resource!

It is not to be done in a day. We have not only a new house to build up, but an old one to pull down.   ... George Whitefield, letter   [Thanks to Bill Blake at pilgrimwb@aol.com]  September 7, 2000 Commemoration of Douglas Downes, Founder of the Society of Saint Francis, 1957 There are three lessons I would write,  Three words, as with a burning pen, In tracings of eternal light,  Upon the hearts of men. Have Hope. Though clouds environ round,  And gladness hides her face in scorn,  Put off the shadow from thy brow:  No night but hath its morn. Have Faith. Where'er thy bark is driven -  The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth - Know this: God rules the hosts of heaven,  The inhabitants of earth. Have Love. Not love alone for one,  But man, as man, thy brother call;  And scatter, like a circling sun,  Thy charities on all.   ... Friedrich von Schiller  September 8, 2000   Temptations and occasions put nothing into a man, but only draw out what was in him before.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7282</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When one woman strikes at the heart of another, she seldom misses, and the wound is invariably fatal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65788]]></link><description><![CDATA[When one woman strikes at the heart of another, she seldom misses, and the wound is invariably fatal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65788</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal -- well-meaning but without understanding. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24702]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal -- well-meaning but without understanding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24702</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But we think there are privacy and equal protection issues at stake here that we just have to have cleared ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30964]]></link><description><![CDATA[But we think there are privacy and equal protection issues at stake here that we just have to have cleared up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Laugh, if thou art wise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24210]]></link><description><![CDATA[Laugh, if thou art wise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24210</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chief among our gains must be reckoned this possibility of choice, the recognition of many possible ways of life, where ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57123]]></link><description><![CDATA[Chief among our gains must be reckoned this possibility of choice, the recognition of many possible ways of life, where other civilizations give a satisfactory outlet to only one temperamental type, be he mystic or soldier, businessman or artist, a civilization in which there are many standards offers a possibility of satisfactory adjustment to individuals of many different temperamental types, of diverse gifts, and varying interests.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57123</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The face is the mirror of the mind, and eyes without speaking confess the secrets of the heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4423]]></link><description><![CDATA[The face is the mirror of the mind, and eyes without speaking confess the secrets of the heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4423</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In all my travels I never met with any one Scotchman but what was a man of sense.
