And one of the games to which it is most attached is called, ''Keep tomorrow dark,'' and which is also named (by the rustics in Shropshire, I have no doubt) ''Cheat the Prophet.'' The players listen very carefully and respectfully to all that the clever men have to say about what is to happen in the next generation. The players then wait until all the clever men are dead, and bury them nicely. Then they go and do something else. That is all. For a race of simple tastes, however, it is great fun.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The secret of getting things done is to act! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47532]]></link><description><![CDATA[The secret of getting things done is to act!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From lower to the higher next, Not to the top, is Nature's text;  And embryo good, to reach full ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48370]]></link><description><![CDATA[From lower to the higher next, Not to the top, is Nature's text;  And embryo good, to reach full stature,   Absorbs the evil in its nature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48370</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can bring you to the door, but you have to walk through. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11629]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can bring you to the door, but you have to walk through.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11629</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Richard of Chichester, Bishop, 1253 Commemoration of Joseph Butler, Bishop of Durham, Moral Philosopher, 1752   The ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7950]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Richard of Chichester, Bishop, 1253 Commemoration of Joseph Butler, Bishop of Durham, Moral Philosopher, 1752   The purpose of the covenant, in the Hebrew Bible and some subsequent writings, was never simply that the creator wanted to have Israel as a special people, irrespective of the fate of the rest of the world.

Thomas Dewar  "Doublethink" means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them. •George Orwell   The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend. •Henri L. Bergson   Hold up to him his better self, his real self that can dare and do and win out . . . People radiate what is in their minds and in their hearts. •Eleanor H. Porter   The bigger a man's head gets, the easier it is to fill his shoes. •Henry Courtney   A chief event of life is the day in which we have encountered a mind that startled us. •Ralph Waldo Emerson   Iron rusts from disuse, stagnant water loses its purity and in cold weather becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigors of the mind. •Leonardo Da Vinci   A cynic is a man who looks at the world with a monocle in his mind's eye. •Carolyn Wells   Craftiness is a quality in the mind and a vice in the character. •S. Dubay   A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject. •Winston Churchill   The mind is like an iceberg, it floats with one-seventh of its bulk above water. •Sigmund Freud   A feeble body weakens the mind. •Jean Jacques Rousseau   Ninety-nine percent of who you are is invisible and untouchable. •Buckminster Fuller   A man's mind will very gradually refuse to make itself up until it is driven and compelled by emergency. •Anthony Trollope   We do not have to visit a madhouse to find disordered minds; our planet is the mental institution of the universe. •Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe   A mediocre mind thinks it writes divinely; a good mind thinks it writes reasonably. •Jean de LaBruyere   Just as our eyes need light in order to see, our minds need ideas in order to conceive. •Napoleon Hill   A nation that continues to produce soft-minded men purchases its own spiritual death on the installment plan. •Martin Luther King, Jr.   A vacant mind invites dangerous inmates, as a deserted mansion tempts wandering outcasts to enter and take up their abode in its desolate apartments. •Nicholas Hilliard  A work of art is above all an adventure of the mind. •Eugene Ionesco   Within you right now is the power to do things you never dreamed possible. This power becomes available to you just as you can change your beliefs. •Maxwell Maltz  Some minds are like concrete, all mixed up and permanently set. •Source Unknown   The mind is a dangerous weapon, even to the possessor, if he knows not discreetly how to use it. •Michel de Montaigne  If the brain were so simple we could understand it, we would be so simple we couldn't. •Lyall Watson  Little minds are interested in the extraordinary; great minds in the commonplace. •Elbert Hubbard  The mind has exactly the same power as the hands: not merely to grasp the world, but to change it. •Colin Wilson   Mind unemployed is mind unenjoyed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know I'm not dumb... and I also know that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22908]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know I'm not dumb... and I also know that I'm not blonde.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22908</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I waive the quantum o' the sin, The hazard of concealing:  But, och! it hardens a' within,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56376]]></link><description><![CDATA[I waive the quantum o' the sin, The hazard of concealing:  But, och! it hardens a' within,   And petrifies the feeling!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without your knowledge, the eyes and ears of many will see and watch you, as they have done already. [Lat., ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58405]]></link><description><![CDATA[Without your knowledge, the eyes and ears of many will see and watch you, as they have done already. [Lat., Multorum te etiam oculi et aures non sentientem, sicuti adhuc fecerunt, speculabuntur atque custodient.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13404]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13404</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If men would consider not so much where they differ, as wherein they agree, there would be far less of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12217]]></link><description><![CDATA[If men would consider not so much where they differ, as wherein they agree, there would be far less of uncharitableness and angry feeling in the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12217</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad itseems today, life does go on, and it will be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25222]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad itseems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned thatyou can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things:a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned thatregardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they'regone from your life. I've learned that making a living is not the same thing asmaking a life. I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on bothhands; you need to be able to throw some things back. I've learned that wheneverI decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I'velearned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned thatevery day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, orjust a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what youdid, but people will never forget how you made them feel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was gratuitously insulting 50 million Americans who call themselves Republicans, some of whom we hope will vote Democrat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33258]]></link><description><![CDATA[He was gratuitously insulting 50 million Americans who call themselves Republicans, some of whom we hope will vote Democrat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33258</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The readiest and surest way to get rid of censure, is to correct ourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5437]]></link><description><![CDATA[The readiest and surest way to get rid of censure, is to correct ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sped up my XT; ran it on 220v!
