This method, though it seem such a small circumstance of life, would in all probability be a means of great piety. It would keep it constantly in your head, that softness and idleness were to be avoided, that self-denial was a part of Christianity... It would teach you to exercise power over yourself, and make you able by degrees to renounce other pleasures and tempers that war against the soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7180</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either... ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63309]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either...]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are at least two kinds of cowards.

He must cease to be George, Hans, Ivan or Tadao- a human atom with an existence bounded by birth and death. The most drastic way to achieve this end is by complete assimilation of the individual into a collective body. The fully assimilated individual does not see himself and others as human beings. When asked who he is, his automatic response is that he is a German, a Russian, a Japanese, a Christian, a Moslem, a member of a certain tribe or family. He has no purpose, worth and destiny apart from his collective body; and as long as that body lives he cannot really die.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Television is the literature of the illiterate, the culture of the low-brow, the wealth of the poor, the privilege of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48283]]></link><description><![CDATA[Television is the literature of the illiterate, the culture of the low-brow, the wealth of the poor, the privilege of the underprivileged, the exclusive club of the excluded masses]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My library Was dukedom large enough. -The Tempest.
