One day others will come who will do the same things better. And some day he will have been completely forgotten--even if he should have built the pyramids or the St. Gotthard tunnel or invented atomic fission. And one thing is even more certain: whether the achievement of a man's life is great or small, significant or insignificant, he will one day stand before his eternal judge, and everything that he has done and performed will be no more than a mole hill, and then he will have nothing better to do than hope for something he has not earned: not for a crown, but quite simply for gracious judgment which he has not deserved. That is the only thing that will count then, achievement or not. "My kindness shall not depart from you." By this man lives. By this alone can he live.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I praise the Frenchman; his remark was shrewd,-- "How sweet, how passing sweet is solitude."  But grant me still ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57172]]></link><description><![CDATA[I praise the Frenchman; his remark was shrewd,-- "How sweet, how passing sweet is solitude."  But grant me still a friend in my retreat,   Whom I may whisper--Solitude is sweet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57172</guid></item></channel></rss>
