Therefore I do not see how it is possible in the nature of things for any revival of religion to continue long.

We are personalities in the making, limited, and grappling with things too high for us. Obviously we, at very best, will make many mistakes, but these mistakes need not be sins. Our actions are the results of our intentions and our intelligence. Our intentions may be very good, but, because the intelligence is limited, the action may turn out to be a mistake -- a mistake, but not necessarily a sin, for sin comes out of a wrong intention. And therefore the action carries a sense of incompleteness and frustration, but not of guilt. Victorious living does not mean perfect living in the sense of living without flaw, but it does mean adequate living, and that can be consistent with many mistakes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the very essence of despotism that it can never afford to fail.

This is what distinguishes it most vitally from democracy. In a despotism there is no organized opposition which can take over the power when the Administration in office has failed. All the eggs are in one basket. Everything is staked on one coterie of men. When the going is good, they move more quickly and efficiently than democracies, where the opposition has to be persuaded and conciliated. But when they lose, there are no reserves. There are no substitutes on the bench ready to go out on the field and carry the ball. That is why democracies with the habit of party government have outlived all other forms of government in the modern world. They have, as it were, at least two governments always at hand, and when one fails they have the other. They have diversified the risks of mortality, corruption, and stupidity which pervade all human affairs. They have remembered that the most beautifully impressive machine cannot run for very long unless there is available a complete supply of spare parts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Genius is the ability to reduce the complicated to the simple. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21295]]></link><description><![CDATA[Genius is the ability to reduce the complicated to the simple.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21295</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think we’re going to have a good day today, but we should have a good day every time we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52910]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think we’re going to have a good day today, but we should have a good day every time we come to the racetrack. That’s what we get paid for. I wasn’t surprised that Casey won the pole. I think if Sterling had gone out earlier he would have had a real shot to win the pole.Our teams have had some struggles this year. Some of the pain has been self-inflicted, and some of the things we just couldn’t help. It’d be great to win here today. In a way, it’s just another race, but it’s a big deal to win Daytona and a big deal to win Indy. Really, it’s a big deal to win anywhere. It pays the same amount of points, but the money is a little bit different.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52910</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tygers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62373]]></link><description><![CDATA[The tygers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62373</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beyond the Alps lies Italy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23097]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beyond the Alps lies Italy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23097</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tolerance and celebration of individual differences is the fire that fuels lasting love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/940]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tolerance and celebration of individual differences is the fire that fuels lasting love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is just during the two week spring recess...[when Congress resumes] he's going to push for the bill and hope ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31773]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is just during the two week spring recess...[when Congress resumes] he's going to push for the bill and hope that the bill will come up for a vote, and then he'll be working toward that.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Come watch with me the shaft of fire that glows In yonder West: the fair, frail palaces,  The fading ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58324]]></link><description><![CDATA[Come watch with me the shaft of fire that glows In yonder West: the fair, frail palaces,  The fading Alps and archipelagoes,   And great cloud-continents of sunset-seas.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The white man's happiness cannot be purchased by the black man's misery. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52921]]></link><description><![CDATA[The white man's happiness cannot be purchased by the black man's misery.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Uncertainty and expectation are the joys of life.

Thus they would explain away the significance of the popular belief that our Lord wrought signs and wonders. But in so doing they set themselves a worse problem than they evade. If miracles were so very common, it would be as easy to believe that Jesus wrought them as that He worked at His father's bench, but also it would be as inconclusive.  And how then are we to explain the astonishment which all the evangelists so constantly record? On any conceivable theory, these writers shared the beliefs of that age, and so did the readers who accepted their assurance that all were amazed, and that His report "went out straightway everywhere into all the region of Galilee." These are emphatic words, and both the author and his readers must have considered a miracle to be more surprising than modern critics believe they did. Yet we do not read of any one was converted by this miracle. All were amazed, but wonder is not self-surrender. They were content to let their excitement die out -- as every violent emotion must -- without any change of life, any permanent devotion to the new Teacher and His doctrine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So that every wand or staff of empire is forsooth curved at top. [Lat., Adeo ut omnes imperii virga sive ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17977]]></link><description><![CDATA[So that every wand or staff of empire is forsooth curved at top. [Lat., Adeo ut omnes imperii virga sive bacillum vere superius inflexum sit.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17977</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Professionalism is environmental.
