Half of the secular unrest and dismal, profane sadness of modern society comes from the vain idea that every man is bound to be a critic of life, and to let no day pass without finding some fault with the general order of things, or projecting some plan for its general improvement. And the other half comes from the greedy notion that a man's life does consist, after all, in the abundance of things that he possesseth, and that it is, somehow or other, more respectable and pious to be always at work trying to make a larger living, than it is to lie on your back in the green pastures and beside the still waters, and thank God that you are alive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The foyer at Covent Garden looks like Harrods food hall has offered up its dead ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56223]]></link><description><![CDATA[The foyer at Covent Garden looks like Harrods food hall has offered up its dead]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56223</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God sleeps in the minerals, awakens in plants, walks in animals, and thinks in man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63958]]></link><description><![CDATA[God sleeps in the minerals, awakens in plants, walks in animals, and thinks in man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Praise day at night, and life at the end. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49714]]></link><description><![CDATA[Praise day at night, and life at the end.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49714</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the want of a nail the shoe was lost, For the want of a shoe the horse was lost, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59706]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the want of a nail the shoe was lost, For the want of a shoe the horse was lost, For the want of a horse the rider was lost, For the want of a rider the battle was lost, For the want of a battle the kingdom was lost, And all for the want of a horse-shoe nail.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are two levers for moving men: interest and fear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22948]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are two levers for moving men: interest and fear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22948</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thus shadow owes its birth to light. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55293]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thus shadow owes its birth to light.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55293</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anthropology was the science that gave her the platform from which she surveyed, scolded and beamed at the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2663]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anthropology was the science that gave her the platform from which she surveyed, scolded and beamed at the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2663</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without passion man is a mere latent force and possibility, like the flint which awaits the shock of the iron ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45643]]></link><description><![CDATA[Without passion man is a mere latent force and possibility, like the flint which awaits the shock of the iron before it can give forth it's spark.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45643</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This might be the biggest parade we've ever had. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32283]]></link><description><![CDATA[This might be the biggest parade we've ever had.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The state of severance of union with sorrow is known by the name of yoga. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62519]]></link><description><![CDATA[The state of severance of union with sorrow is known by the name of yoga.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The pacifist is as surely a traitor to his country and to humanity as is the most brutal wrongdoer ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45358]]></link><description><![CDATA[The pacifist is as surely a traitor to his country and to humanity as is the most brutal wrongdoer]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair and all the terrible things that happen to us, come because ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60168]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair and all the terrible things that happen to us, come because actually deserve them?

Probably all you'll think about him is that he seemed a cheerful, intelligent chap who took a real interest in what you said to him. If you do dislike him, it will be because you feel a bit envious of anyone who seems to enjoy life so easily. He won't be thinking about himself at all. There I must stop. If anyone would like to acquire humility, I can, I think, tell him the first step. The first step is to realize that one is proud. And a biggish step, too. At least, nothing whatever can be done before it. If you think you're not conceited, it means you are very conceited indeed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Books serve to show a man that those original thoughts of his aren't very new after all ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4492]]></link><description><![CDATA[Books serve to show a man that those original thoughts of his aren't very new after all]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of John and Charles Wesley, Priests, Poets, Teachers, 1791 & 1788  Matthew xi. 27.
