Unexplored places do not frighten them- or not, at any rate, as much as they frighten those around them. This is one of the secrets of their power. That which we call "genius" has a great deal to do with courage and daring, a great deal to do with nerve.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52109</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hands across the sea, Feet on English ground,  The old blood is bold blood, the wide world round. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45823]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hands across the sea, Feet on English ground,  The old blood is bold blood, the wide world round.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45823</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Virtue is not solitary; it is bound to have neighbors ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60747]]></link><description><![CDATA[Virtue is not solitary; it is bound to have neighbors]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60747</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let everyone sweep in front of his own door, and the whole world willbe clean. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21262]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let everyone sweep in front of his own door, and the whole world willbe clean.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be conservative.....is to prefer the familiar to the unknown, to prefer the tried to the untried, fact to mystery, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9863]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be conservative.....is to prefer the familiar to the unknown, to prefer the tried to the untried, fact to mystery, the actual to the possible, the limited to the unbounded, the near to the distant, the sufficient to the superabundant, the convenient to the perfect, present laughter to utopian bliss.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They may migrate in a direction, either up or down, depending on which bank becomes the lead on the consumer ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35533]]></link><description><![CDATA[They may migrate in a direction, either up or down, depending on which bank becomes the lead on the consumer side.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All language reflects the prejudices of the society in which it evolved. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24048]]></link><description><![CDATA[All language reflects the prejudices of the society in which it evolved.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24048</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured with what is right in America. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45772]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured with what is right in America.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45772</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be what you would seem to be - or, if you'd like it put more simply - A house is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19897]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be what you would seem to be - or, if you'd like it put more simply - A house is no home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The use of violence as an instrument of persuasion is therefore inviting and seems to the discontented to be the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60688]]></link><description><![CDATA[The use of violence as an instrument of persuasion is therefore inviting and seems to the discontented to be the only effective protest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Mary Magdalen, Apostle to the Apostles  We are so farre off from condemning any of their labours ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7419]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Mary Magdalen, Apostle to the Apostles  We are so farre off from condemning any of their labours that traveiled before us in this kinds, either in this land or beyond sea, ... that we acknowledge them to have been raised up of God, ... and that they deserve to be had of us and of posteritie in everlasting remembrance... Therefore blessed be they, and most honoured be their name, that breake the yce and give the onset upon that which helpeth forward to the saving of soules. Now what can be more available thereto, than to deliver Gods booke unto the Gods people in a tongue which they understand? ... So if we, building upon their foundation that went before us, and being holpen by their labours, doe endeavor to make that better which they left so good; no man, we are sure, has cause to mislike us; they, we persuade ourselves, if they were alive, would thank us.
