Some even wanted him to be king, a thought that GW found ludicrous: What astonishing changes a few years are capable of producing! I am told that even respectable characters speak of a monarchical form of government without horror. From thinking proceeds speaking, thence to acting is often but a single step. But how irrevocable and tremendous! What a triumph for the advocates of despotism to find that we are incapable of governing ourselves, and that systems founded on the basis of equal liberty are merely ideal & fallacious!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To-morrow never yet On any human being rose or set. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59458]]></link><description><![CDATA[To-morrow never yet On any human being rose or set.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tho' we earn our bread, Tom, By the dirty pen,  What we can we will be,   Honest ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62120]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tho' we earn our bread, Tom, By the dirty pen,  What we can we will be,   Honest Englishmen.    Do the work that's nearest     Though it's dull at whiles,      Helping, when we meet them,       Lame dogs over stiles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62120</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is the freeman whom the truth makes free, And all are slaves besides. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16676]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is the freeman whom the truth makes free, And all are slaves besides.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16676</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Johann Sebastian Bach, musician, 1750  You, too, are called to be an open letter, as Paul puts ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7737]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Johann Sebastian Bach, musician, 1750  You, too, are called to be an open letter, as Paul puts it, written by Christ's own hand, showing those round about you what things Christ can do. We are to go into the world and so to live our ordinary lives that, all unconsciously to us, those among whom we move will look at us again, and will begin to say, You know I used to doubt if there was much in Christianity save talk. But I have revised my opinion. There's So-and-so (that's you, you understand), that is a man in whom the thing is obviously working out. He used to be so touchy, so opinionative, so mean and shabby in his views, so dully ordinary. Yet now, undoubtedly, the man has won to self-control and a large generous mind, and -- yea, I know it's a queer thing to say -- but he has won to something more, something that somehow (though he never speaks about those things) makes you remember Jesus Christ!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7737</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We all carry within us our places of exile, our crimes, and our ravages.
