Life is plurality, death is uniformity. By suppressing differences and pecularities, by eliminating different civilizations and cultures, progress weakens life and favors death.

Every view of the world that becomes extinct, every culture that disappears, diminishes a possibility of life"]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10822</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To take the nuts from the fire with the dogges foot. [To take the nuts from the fire with the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50015]]></link><description><![CDATA[To take the nuts from the fire with the dogges foot. [To take the nuts from the fire with the dog's foot.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50015</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For God's sake let us sit upon the ground And tell sad stories of the death of kings!  How ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54514]]></link><description><![CDATA[For God's sake let us sit upon the ground And tell sad stories of the death of kings!  How some have been deposed, some slain in war,   Some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed,    Some poisoned by their wives, some sleeping killed--     All murdered; for within the hollow crown      That rounds the mortal temples of a king       Keeps Death his court; and there the antic sits,        Scoffing his state and grinning at his pomp;         Allowing him a breath, a little scene,          To monarchize, be feared, and kill with looks;           Infusing him with self and vain conceit,            As if this flesh which walls about our life             Were brass impregnable; and humored thus,              Comes at the last, and with a little pin               Bores through his castle wall, and farewell king!                Cover your heads, and mock not flesh and blood                 With solemn reverence, Throw away respect,                  Tradition, form, and ceremonious duty;                   For you have but mistook me all this while.                    I live with bread like you, feel want, taste grief,                     Need friends.

He held that all annoyances, frustrations, disappointments, mishaps, discomforts, hardships, sorrows, pains, and even final disaster iteself, are simply God's way of teaching us lessons that we could never else learn. That circumstances do not matter, are nothing, but that the response of the spirit that meets them is everything; that there is no situation in human life, however apparently adverse, nor any human relationship, however apparently uncongenial, that cannot be made, if God be in the heart, into a thing of perfect joy; that, in order to attain this ultimate perfection, one must accept every experience and learn to love all persons... that the worth of life is is not to be measured by its results in achievement or success, but solely by the motives of the heart and the efforts of one's will.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16795]]></link><description><![CDATA[When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.
