If his atlas tells him the world is flat he will not sail near what he believes to be the edge of our planet for fear of falling off. If his maps include a fountain of eternal youth, a Ponce de Leon will go off in quest of it. If someone digs up yellow dirt that looks like gold, he will for a time act exactly as if he has found gold. The way in which the world is imagined determines at any particular moment what men will do. It does not determine what they will achieve. It determines their effort, their feelings, their hopes, not their accomplishments and results.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis silence all, And pleasing expectation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14637]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis silence all, And pleasing expectation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14637</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In things essential, unity; in doubtful, liberty; in all things, charity. [Lat., In necessasariis, unitas; In dubiis, libertas; in omnibus, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5704]]></link><description><![CDATA[In things essential, unity; in doubtful, liberty; in all things, charity. [Lat., In necessasariis, unitas; In dubiis, libertas; in omnibus, caritas.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5704</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed as the twilight's last gleaming? ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16136]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed as the twilight's last gleaming?  Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight   O'er the ramplarts we watched were so gallantly streaming?    And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,     Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.      Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave       O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16136</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My fond affection thou hast seen, Then judge of my regret  To think more happy thou hadst been  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61863]]></link><description><![CDATA[My fond affection thou hast seen, Then judge of my regret  To think more happy thou hadst been   If we had never met!    And has that thought been shared by thee?     Ah, no! that smiling cheek      Proves more unchanging love for me       Than labor'd words could speak.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I bought an unction of a mountebank, So mortal that, but dip a knife in it,  Where it draws ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26715]]></link><description><![CDATA[I bought an unction of a mountebank, So mortal that, but dip a knife in it,  Where it draws blood so cataplasm so rare,   Collected from all simples that have virtue    Under the moon, can save the thing from death     That is but scratched withal.
