Nurture their love carefully, remembering thatyour children need models, not critics, and your own progress will hastenwhen you constantly strive to present your best side to your children.

Nor will it take comfort in the thought that God is dead, or that mankind has come of age, or even in ecumenical negotiations for writing off Papal Infallibility against the validity of Anglican Orders. The only means of satisfying it remains that bread of life which Jesus offered, with the promise that those who are of it should never hunger again. The promise stands.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Television is democracy at its ugliest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47237]]></link><description><![CDATA[Television is democracy at its ugliest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47237</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In our own beginnings, we are formed out of the body's interior landscape, For a short while, our mothers' bodies ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17369]]></link><description><![CDATA[In our own beginnings, we are formed out of the body's interior landscape, For a short while, our mothers' bodies are the boundaries and personal geography which are all that we know of the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the spot where I am mortal. [Ger., Hier ist die Stelle wo ich sterblich bin.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43175]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the spot where I am mortal. [Ger., Hier ist die Stelle wo ich sterblich bin.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43175</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men of great conversational powers almost universally practise a sort of lively sophistry and exaggeration which deceives for the moment ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10100]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men of great conversational powers almost universally practise a sort of lively sophistry and exaggeration which deceives for the moment both themselves and their auditors.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Instead of being concerned that you have no office, be concerned to think how you may fit yourself for office. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64736]]></link><description><![CDATA[Instead of being concerned that you have no office, be concerned to think how you may fit yourself for office.

"This friend is always sure and right;  His lantern is sufficient light -- I need no star," I said. I sought Him in the city square.  Logic and I went up and down  The marketplace of many a town, And He was never there. I tracked Him to the mind's far rim.  The valiant Intellect went forth  To east and west and south and north, And found no trace of Him. We walked the world from sun to sun,  Logic and I, with little Faith,  But never came to Nazareth, Or found the Holy One. I sought in vain. And finally,  Back to the heart's small house I crept,  And fell upon my knees, and wept; And lo! -- He came to me!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7787</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mere verbiage,--it is not worth a carrot! Why Socrates or Plato--where's the odds?--  Once taught a jay to supplicate ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50163]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mere verbiage,--it is not worth a carrot! Why Socrates or Plato--where's the odds?--  Once taught a jay to supplicate the Gods,   And made a Polly-theist of a Parrot!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50163</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All history is a record of the power of minorities, and of minorities of one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27543]]></link><description><![CDATA[All history is a record of the power of minorities, and of minorities of one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27543</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We can't communicate.
