I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the community, and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it what I can. . -George Bernard Shaw.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4238]]></link><description><![CDATA[Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4238</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Honest men are the soft easy cushions on which knaves Repose and fatten. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23897]]></link><description><![CDATA[Honest men are the soft easy cushions on which knaves Repose and fatten.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The kid is unbelievable, ...

Why, would the same not be possible to a good will? Yes, indeed, and even much more so. Surely, I can do all things with the will. I can bear the sorrow of all men and feed all the poor and do the work of all men and whatever else you may think of. If it be not the will that fails you, but only the power, then truly, before God, you have done it all, and no man can take it from you or even hinder you for a moment; for to will to do as soon as I can is the same before God as having done it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dead on the field of honour. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19703]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dead on the field of honour.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19703</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now reality is beginning to sink in -- that Asia is basically a long-term workout.

It reveals a split personality in which faith is "observed" and appraised, thus negating that unity born of a dying-unto-self, which is the definition of faith. To "value" faith is to turn it into a metaphysical magic, the advantages of which ought to be reserved for a spiritual elite.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7121</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is only one way, really, to get into a state of living, and that's live!

There is no substitute for an all-out, over-the-ramparts, howling charge against life. That's living. Living does not consist of sitting in a temple in the shadows and getting rheumatism from the cold stones. Living is hot, it's fast, it's often brutal! It has a terrific gamut of emotional reactions. If you are really willing to live, you first have to be willing to do anything that consists of living. Weird. But it's one of those awfully true things that you wonder why one has to say it. And yet it has to be said.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fanatic is not really a stickler to principle.
