But a rational life, the life of a valuer, does not consist essentially in reaction. It consists in action. Man does not find his values, like the other animals; he creates them. The primary focus of a valuer is not to take the world as it comes and pass judgment. His primary focus is to identify what might and ought to exist, to uncover potentialities that he can exploit, to find ways of reshaping the world in the image of his values.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Democracy is not something you put away for ten years, and then in the 11th year you wake up and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31488]]></link><description><![CDATA[Democracy is not something you put away for ten years, and then in the 11th year you wake up and start practicing again.

For the system of those who, in order to rid themselves of difficulties, do not hesitate to concede that divine inspiration regards the things of faith and morals, and nothing beyond, because (as they wrongly think) in a question of the truth or falsehood of a passage, we should consider not so much what God has said as the reason and purpose which He had in mind in saying it--this system cannot be tolerated. For all the books which the Church receives as sacred and canonical, are written wholly and entirely, with all their parts, at the dictation of the Holy Ghost: and so far is it from being possible that any error can co-exist with inspiration, that inspiration not only is essentially incompatible with error, but excludes and rejects it as absolutely and necessarily as it is impossible that God Himself, the supreme Truth, can utter that which is not true.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That was great for our guys.
