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[The angel answer'd, "Nay, said soul; go higher! To be deceived in your true heart's desire  Was bitterer than ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11529]]></link><description><![CDATA[The angel answer'd, "Nay, said soul; go higher! To be deceived in your true heart's desire  Was bitterer than a thousand years of fire!"]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatever, therefore, is foolish, ridiculous, vain, or earthly, or sensual, in the life of a Christian is something that ought ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6979]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whatever, therefore, is foolish, ridiculous, vain, or earthly, or sensual, in the life of a Christian is something that ought not to be there; it is a spot and a defilement that must be washed away with tears of repentance. But if anything of this kind runs all through the course of our life, if we allow ourselves in things that are either vain, foolish, or sensual, we renounce our profession. For as sure as Jesus Christ was wisdom and holiness, as sure as He came to make us like Himself and to be baptized into His Spirit, so sure is it that none can be said to keep to their Christian profession but they who, to the utmost of their power, live a wise and holy and heavenly life. This, and this alone, is Christianity, a universal holiness in every part of life, a heavenly wisdom in all our actions, not conforming to the spirit and temper of the world but turning all worldly enjoyments into means of piety and devotion to God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ruthlessness born of self-seeking is ineffectual compared with the ruthlessness sustained by dedication to a holy cause.
