The term fast has no meaning apart from the term slow. In addition such terms have no meaning even when used together, except when confined to a very particular situation... most of our language about the organization and objective's of government is made up of such polar terms. Justice and injustice are typical. A reformer who wants to abolish injustice and create a world in which nothing but justice prevails is like a man who wants to make everything up. Such a man might feel that if he took the lowest in the world and carried it up to the highest point and kept on doing this, everything would eventually become up. This would certainly move a great many objects and create an enormous amount of activity. It might or might not be useful, according to the standards which we apply. However it would never result in the abolishment of down.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As you sit on the hillside, or lie prone under the trees of the forest, or sprawl wet-legged by a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43869]]></link><description><![CDATA[As you sit on the hillside, or lie prone under the trees of the forest, or sprawl wet-legged by a mountain stream, the great door, that does not look like a door, opens.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43869</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Style is the dress of thoughts; and let them be ever so just, if your style is homely, coarse, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2827]]></link><description><![CDATA[Style is the dress of thoughts; and let them be ever so just, if your style is homely, coarse, and vulgar, they will appear to as much disadvantage, and be as ill received, as your person, though ever so well-proportioned, would if dressed in rags, dirt, and tatters.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2827</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Newspaper people have a habit of putting you in the front pages to sell their papers, and then after they've ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20881]]></link><description><![CDATA[Newspaper people have a habit of putting you in the front pages to sell their papers, and then after they've sold their papers and got big circulation's, they say, 'Look at what we've done for you.']]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20881</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Idleness is an inlet to disorder, and makes way for licentiousness.

But if we should feel entitled to throw out one part of the witness of Ephesians to Christ, why not the rest of it also: for instance, Christ's Lordship over the church and in the heart? It is unfair and scarcely honest to consider the Bible or parts of it as a cake from which we can pick out merely the raisins we happen to like. Speaking the truth in love and witnessing to the biblical Christ may imply the necessity to speak also of some very strange things.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6430</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As a driver, he has developed much quicker than I think anybody expected, and that is what really made this ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42472]]></link><description><![CDATA[As a driver, he has developed much quicker than I think anybody expected, and that is what really made this possible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42472</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To have a great man for an intimate friend seems pleasant to those who have never tried it; those who ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64186]]></link><description><![CDATA[To have a great man for an intimate friend seems pleasant to those who have never tried it; those who have, fear it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With life many things are remedied. (While there's life there's hope.)  [Sp., Con la vida muchas cosas se remedian.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19772]]></link><description><![CDATA[With life many things are remedied. (While there's life there's hope.)  [Sp., Con la vida muchas cosas se remedian.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19772</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remember that not to be happy is not to be grateful. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18190]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remember that not to be happy is not to be grateful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18190</guid></item></channel></rss>
