But once, in the heart of an angry crowd, their enthusiasm soured suddenly into a growling muttering. He applied it confidently to a man who, under the inspiration of His friendship, had broken with his sorry past and his old selfish, unclean ways, and was doing what he could to put things right. Now that, He said, is what I call a saved man. Very solemnly He tells us that on the Day of Judgement we shall not be asked the questions we are expecting, but others that will puzzle and startle us. Those folk on the left hand were, as far as we hear, respectable folk; their business books were straight, their home life was kindly, they themselves were clean-living men and women: nothing whatever is laid to their charge excepting this, that they lived in a world needing their help and were too absorbed in something -- what it was, we are not told; it may have been their souls -- to give what aid they could.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is in vain, 0 men, that you seek within yourselves the cure for your miseries.

All your insight only leads you to the knowledge that it is not in yourselves that you will discover the true and the good. The philosophers promised them to you, and have not been able to keep their promises... Your principal maladies are pride, which cuts you off from God, and sensuality, which binds you to the earth; and they have done nothing but foster at least one of these maladies. If they have given you God for your object, it has only been to pander to your pride; they have made you think that you were like Him and resembled Him by your nature. And those who have grasped the vanity of such a pretension have cast you down into the other abyss by making you believe that your nature was like that of the beasts of the field, and have led you to seek your good in lust, which is the lot of animals.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think nobody owns the land until their dead are in it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23985]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think nobody owns the land until their dead are in it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The apples that grew on the fruit-tree of knowledge By woman were pluck'd, and she still wears the prize  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2949]]></link><description><![CDATA[The apples that grew on the fruit-tree of knowledge By woman were pluck'd, and she still wears the prize  To tempt us in theatre, senate, or college--   I mean the love-apples that bloom in the eyes.   - Horace Smith and James Smith,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2949</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Its Constitution--the glittering and sounding generalities of natural right which make up the Declaration of Independence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45228]]></link><description><![CDATA[Its Constitution--the glittering and sounding generalities of natural right which make up the Declaration of Independence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think it's going to be very difficult for the judge to find penalties that could indeed be construed as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42054]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think it's going to be very difficult for the judge to find penalties that could indeed be construed as forward-looking.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42054</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Too often I find that the volume of paper expands to fill the available briefcases. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4993]]></link><description><![CDATA[Too often I find that the volume of paper expands to fill the available briefcases.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4993</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There can be no church in which the demon will not have his chapel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8683]]></link><description><![CDATA[There can be no church in which the demon will not have his chapel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People are starting to become weary of the inversion in the U.S. curve and in particular the yields that you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34540]]></link><description><![CDATA[People are starting to become weary of the inversion in the U.S. curve and in particular the yields that you receive in the 6-month and 2-year notes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34540</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When all the blandishments of life are gone, The coward sneaks to death, the brave live on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10496]]></link><description><![CDATA[When all the blandishments of life are gone, The coward sneaks to death, the brave live on.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lips that touch liquor will never touch mine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51011]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lips that touch liquor will never touch mine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51011</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At morn the blackcock trims his jetty wing, 'Tis morning prompts the linnet's blithest lay;  All Nature's children feel ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51080]]></link><description><![CDATA[At morn the blackcock trims his jetty wing, 'Tis morning prompts the linnet's blithest lay;  All Nature's children feel the matin spring   Of life reviving, with reviving day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements of mankind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2462]]></link><description><![CDATA[A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements of mankind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2462</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I look at that as really good news for the market; you want something right in the sweet spot.
