For what a man had rather were true he more readily believes. Therefore he rejects difficult things from impatience of research; sober things, because they narrow hope; the deeper things of nature, from superstition; the light of experience, from arrogance and pride; things not commonly believed, out of deference to the opinion of the vulgar. Numberless in short are the ways, and sometimes imperceptible, in which the affections color and infect the understanding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education is the key to success in life, and teachers make a lasting impact in the lives of their students. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66280]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education is the key to success in life, and teachers make a lasting impact in the lives of their students.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66280</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Lanfranc, Prior of Le Bec, Archbishop of Canterbury, 1089  Jesus hath many lovers of His heavenly kingdom, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7398]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Lanfranc, Prior of Le Bec, Archbishop of Canterbury, 1089  Jesus hath many lovers of His heavenly kingdom, but few bearers of His Cross. He hath many seekers of comfort, but few of tribulation. He findeth many companions of His table, but few of His fasting. All desire to rejoice with Him, few are willing to undergo anything for His sake. Many follow Jesus that they may eat of His loaves, but few that they may drink of the cup of His passion. Many are astonished at His miracles, few follow after the shame of His Cross. Many love Jesus so long as no adversities happen to them. Many praise Him and bless Him, so long as they receive any comforts from Him. But if Jesus hide Himself and withdraw a little while, they fall either into complaining or into too great dejection of mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7398</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forests, lakes, and rivers, clouds and winds, stars and flowers, stupendous glaciers and crystal snowflakes - every form of animate ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14490]]></link><description><![CDATA[Forests, lakes, and rivers, clouds and winds, stars and flowers, stupendous glaciers and crystal snowflakes - every form of animate or inanimate existence, leaves its impress upon the soul of man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life has loveliness to sell, all beautiful and splendid things, blue waves whitened on a cliff, soaring fire that sways ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43882]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life has loveliness to sell, all beautiful and splendid things, blue waves whitened on a cliff, soaring fire that sways and sings, and children's faces looking up, holding wonder like a cup.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43882</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What greater reassurance can the weak have than that they are like anyone else? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53141]]></link><description><![CDATA[What greater reassurance can the weak have than that they are like anyone else?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53141</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Delay is the deadliest form of denial. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11834]]></link><description><![CDATA[Delay is the deadliest form of denial.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now fitted the halter, now travers'd the cart, And often took leave; but was loth to part. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45570]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now fitted the halter, now travers'd the cart, And often took leave; but was loth to part.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She plucked from my lapel the invisible strand of lint (the universal act of woman to proclaim ownership). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45348]]></link><description><![CDATA[She plucked from my lapel the invisible strand of lint (the universal act of woman to proclaim ownership).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45348</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poetry is life distilled. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25403]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poetry is life distilled.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An inventor is simply a fellow who doesn't take his education too seriously. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52046]]></link><description><![CDATA[An inventor is simply a fellow who doesn't take his education too seriously.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most effective way to achieve right relations with any living thing is to look for the best in it, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21310]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most effective way to achieve right relations with any living thing is to look for the best in it, and then help that best into the fullest expression.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Noble by birth, yet nobler by great deeds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44581]]></link><description><![CDATA[Noble by birth, yet nobler by great deeds.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs.

He taught that God, as the great feudal superior of the universe, allotted to all earthly authorities their rule in fief as subject to Himself. The priesthood was not an office of dominion, but of service, and its prerogatives ceased when service was not rendered. Dominion was not granted to one person as God's Vicar on earth, but the King was as much God's Vicar as the Pope; nay, every Christian held his rights immediately of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That in the beginning when the world was young there were a great many thoughts but no such thing as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2201]]></link><description><![CDATA[That in the beginning when the world was young there were a great many thoughts but no such thing as truth.
