Let us live while we live; let us be alive and doing; let us act on what we have, since we have not what we wish. Let us believe what we do not see and know. Let us forestall knowledge by faith. Let us maintain before we have demonstrated. This seeming paradox is the secret of happiness. Why should we be unwilling to go by faith? We do all things in this world by faith in the word of others. By faith only do we know our position in the world, our circumstances, our rights and privileges, our fortunes, our parents, our brothers and sisters, our age, our mortality. Why should Religion be an exception? Why should we be unwilling to use for heavenly objects what we daily use for earthly?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The moment we believe that success is determined by an ingrained level of ability as opposed to resilience and hard ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66346]]></link><description><![CDATA[The moment we believe that success is determined by an ingrained level of ability as opposed to resilience and hard work, we will be brittle in the face of adversity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66346</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our liberality should not exceed our ability. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48862]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our liberality should not exceed our ability.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no substitute for talent.

His presence must never be used to provide a Christian justification for evil. To stand as a co-belligerent and not an ally will be to rally the middle ground for a genuine Third Way without mediocre compromise. The Third Way will not be easy. It will be lonely. Sometimes the Christian must have the courage to stand with the establishment, speaking boldly to the radicals and pointing out the destructive and counter-productive nature of their violence. At other times, he will stand as a co-belligerent with the radicals in their outrage and just demands for redress. The Christian is a co-belligerent with either or both when either or both are right, but... fearless in his opposition to either or both when they are wrong.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This chair was their first venture into furniture making.
