I love riches because they afford me the means of helping the very poor. I keep faith with everybody; I do not render evil to those who wrong me, but I wish them a situation like mine, in which I receive neither good nor evil from men. I try to be just, true, sincere, and faithful to all men; I have a tender heart for those to whom God has more closely united me; and whether I am alone, or seen by people, I do all my actions in the sight of God, who must judge them, and to whom I have consecrated them all. These are my sentiments; and every day of my life, I bless my Redeemer, who has implanted them in me, and who, out of a man full of weakness, of miseries, of lust, of pride, and of ambition, has made a man free from all these evils by the power of His grace, to which all the glory of it is due, as of myself I have only misery and error.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we consider the superiority of the human species, the size of its brain, its powers of thinking, language and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20012]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we consider the superiority of the human species, the size of its brain, its powers of thinking, language and organization, we can say this: were there the slightest possibility that another rival or superior species might appear, on earth or elsewhere, man would use every means at his disposal to destroy it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20012</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you done it, it ain't bragging. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4824]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you done it, it ain't bragging.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4824</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trouble brings experience, and experience brings wisdom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14663]]></link><description><![CDATA[Trouble brings experience, and experience brings wisdom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14663</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness seems made to be shared. [Fr., Le bonheur semble fait pour etre partage.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18644]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happiness seems made to be shared. [Fr., Le bonheur semble fait pour etre partage.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other. -Mother Teresa. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45994]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other. -Mother Teresa.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of English Saints & Martyrs of the Reformation  If it be the earnest desire and longing of your ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7246]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of English Saints & Martyrs of the Reformation  If it be the earnest desire and longing of your heart to be merciful as He is merciful; to be full of His unwearied patience, to dwell in His unalterable meekness; if you long to be like Him in universal, impartial love; if you desire to communicate every good to every creature that you are able; if you love and practice everything that is good, righteous, and lovely for its own sake, because it is good, righteous, and lovely; and resist no evil but with goodness; then you have the utmost certainty that the Spirit of God dwells and governs in you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My God, these folks don't know how to love -- that's why they love so easily. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25981]]></link><description><![CDATA[My God, these folks don't know how to love -- that's why they love so easily.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the quality rather than the quantity that matters. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63435]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the quality rather than the quantity that matters.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Layer by layer art strips life bare. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65443]]></link><description><![CDATA[Layer by layer art strips life bare.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Flatter me, and I may not believe you.
