A man is related to all nature. The less government we have the better. Every man has his own vocation, talent is the call. Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. To be great is to be misunderstood. Every man is in some way my superior. A man is a god in ruins. Life is a festival only to the wise. Knowledge is the only elegance. We boil at different degrees. Infancy conforms to nobody; all conform to it. We learn geology the morning after the earthquake. What is the hardest thing in the world? To think. Accept your genius and say what you think. Make yourself necessary to somebody. The only way to have a friend is to be one. Insist on yourself; never imitate. Music causes us to think eloquently. To live without duties is obscene. It is not length of life, but depth of life. The greatest homage to truth is to use it. The only reward of virtue is virtue. Go oft to the house of thy friend, for weeds choke the unused path. We become what we think about all day long. Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. There is no knowledge that is not power. Truth is beautiful, without doubt; but so are lies. Beware when the great God lets loose a thinker on this planet. The one thing in the world, of value, is the active soul. Who so would be a man must be a nonconformist. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it. A great part of courage is the courage of having done the thing before. Heroism feels and never reasons and is therefore always right. A good indignation brings out all one's powers. A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature. Life is a perpetual instruction in cause and effect. Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you. Beauty rests on necessities. The line of beauty is the line of perfect economy. People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character. My chief want in life is someone who shall make me do what I can. Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind. We walk alone in the world. Friends, such as we desire, are dreams and fables. This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it. The only sin we never forgive each other is difference of opinion. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better. A great part of courage is the courage of having done the thing before. Judge of your natural character by what you do in dreams. What your heart thinks is great, is great. The soul's emphasis is always right. The end of the human race will be that it will eventually die of civilization. The only sin we never forgive each other is difference of opinion. Every man alone is sincere. At the entrance of a second person, hypocrisy begins. He is great who is what he is from nature, and who never reminds us of others. A man must consider what a rich realm he abdicates when he becomes a conformist. Let us treat men and women well; treat them as if they were real. Perhaps they are. The less a man thinks or knows about his virtues, the better we like him. In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts; they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty. Our faith comes in moments, yet there is a depth in those brief moments which constrains us to ascribe more reality to them than to all other experiences. We boast our emancipation from many superstitions; but if we have broken any idols, it is merely through a transfer of idolatry. What lies beyond us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. Great men are they who see that spiritual is stronger than any material force, that thoughts rule the world. Accept the place the divine providence has found for you, the society of your contemporaries, the connection of events. When I was praised I lost my time, for instantly I turned around to look at the work I had thought slightly of, and that day I made nothing new. To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment. It is one of the most beautiful compensations of this life that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself. We cannot see things that stare us in the face until the hour comes that the mind is ripened. Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. Nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principles. Be true to your own act and congratulate yourself if you have done something strange and extravagant to break the monotony of a decorous age. Why should we be cowed by the name of Action?. The rich mind lies in the sun and sleeps, and is Nature. To think is to act. We are taught by great actions that the universe is the property of every individual in it. Every great and commanding moment in the annals of the world is the triumph of somebody's enthusiasm. It is a lesson which all history teaches wise men, to put trust in ideas, and not in circumstances. If the single man plant himself indomitably on his instincts, and there abide, the huge world will come round to him. He then learns that in going down into the secrets of his own mind he has descended into the secrets of all minds. There is no beautifier of complexion or form of behavior like the wish to scatter joy, and not pain, around us. This gives force to the strong - that the multitude have no habit of self-reliance or original action. -U.S. Poet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27696</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The real reason for not committing suicide is because you always know how swell life gets again after the hell ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25033]]></link><description><![CDATA[The real reason for not committing suicide is because you always know how swell life gets again after the hell is over.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25033</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wicked flee when no man pursueth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48669]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wicked flee when no man pursueth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48669</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Govern your temper, which will rule you unless kept in subjection. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50233]]></link><description><![CDATA[Govern your temper, which will rule you unless kept in subjection.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50233</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sing again, with your dear voice revealing A tone  Of some world far from ours,   Where music ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56473]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sing again, with your dear voice revealing A tone  Of some world far from ours,   Where music and moonlight and feeling    Are one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56473</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People point out that Romeo's never been a head coach, and this is definitely a big move that he's making, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38174]]></link><description><![CDATA[People point out that Romeo's never been a head coach, and this is definitely a big move that he's making,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38174</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I didn't expect Taylor to get into the sixth.

The two ideas of Free-will and Divine Sovereignty can not be reconciled in our own minds, but that does not prevent them from being reconciled in God's mind. We measure Him by our own intellectual standard if we think otherwise. And so our solution of the problem of Free-will and of the problems of history and of individual salvation must finally lie in the full acceptance and realisation of what is implied by the infinity and the omniscience of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6891</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At the earlier Methodist class meetings, members were expected every week to answer some extremely personal questions, such as the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7633]]></link><description><![CDATA[At the earlier Methodist class meetings, members were expected every week to answer some extremely personal questions, such as the following: Have you experienced any particular temptations during the past week? How did you react or respond to those temptations ? Is there anything you are trying to keep secret, and, if so, what? At this point, the modern Christian swallows hard! We are often coated with a thick layer of reserve and modesty which covers "a multitude of sins" -- usually our own. Significantly, James 5:16-20, the original context of that phrase, is the passage which urges, "Confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Example is leadership. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66429]]></link><description><![CDATA[Example is leadership.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you treat a kid as an adult, they start to act as an adult in the way they commit ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28204]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you treat a kid as an adult, they start to act as an adult in the way they commit crimes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28204</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From the late Classical period and more so in Romantic and Modern opera, the weight settled into the orchestra, with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41684]]></link><description><![CDATA[From the late Classical period and more so in Romantic and Modern opera, the weight settled into the orchestra, with the voices as a free obbligato above it, ...
