He was not indifferent to observances, but the practices of the people bulked in His thoughts before the practices of the Church. It has been pointed out as a blemish on the immortal allegory of Bunyan that the Pilgrim never did anything -- anything but save his soul. The remark is scarcely fair, for the allegory is designedly the story of a soul in a single relation; and, besides, he did do a little. But the warning may well be weighed. The Pilgrim's one thought, his work by day, his dream by night, was escape. He took little part in the world through which he passed. He was a Pilgrim travelling through it; his business was to get through safe. Whatever this is, it is not Christianity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each of us literally chooses, by his way of attending to things, what sort of universe he shall appear to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4030]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each of us literally chooses, by his way of attending to things, what sort of universe he shall appear to himself to inhabit. -William James.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66170]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66170</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Though little fire grows great with little wind, Yet extreme gusts will blow out fire and all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51484]]></link><description><![CDATA[Though little fire grows great with little wind, Yet extreme gusts will blow out fire and all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51484</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Obviously, a little more tepid than what markets were expecting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34921]]></link><description><![CDATA[Obviously, a little more tepid than what markets were expecting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What will the stream become in its lengthened course, if it be so turpid as its source? [It., Qual diverra ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52593]]></link><description><![CDATA[What will the stream become in its lengthened course, if it be so turpid as its source? [It., Qual diverra quel fiume,  Nel lungo suo cammino,   Se al fonte ancor vicino    E torbido cosi?]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the hope to meet Shortly again, and make our absence sweet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/143]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the hope to meet Shortly again, and make our absence sweet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/143</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You only lose what you cling to. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4954]]></link><description><![CDATA[You only lose what you cling to.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4954</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...the evils of mankind are caused, not by the primary aggressiveness of individuals, but by their self-transcending identification with groups ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51998]]></link><description><![CDATA[...the evils of mankind are caused, not by the primary aggressiveness of individuals, but by their self-transcending identification with groups whose common denominator is low intelligence and high emotionality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Instinct is action taken in pursuance of a purpose, but without conscious perception of what the purpose is. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22835]]></link><description><![CDATA[Instinct is action taken in pursuance of a purpose, but without conscious perception of what the purpose is.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The whole conviction of my life now rests upon the belief that loneliness, far from being a rare and curious ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25476]]></link><description><![CDATA[The whole conviction of my life now rests upon the belief that loneliness, far from being a rare and curious phenomenon, peculiar to myself and to a few other solitary men, is the central and inevitable fact of human existence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25476</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There will be a 'No', ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28267]]></link><description><![CDATA[There will be a 'No',]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you are not practicing, remember, someone somewhere is practicing, and when you meet him he will win ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47976]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you are not practicing, remember, someone somewhere is practicing, and when you meet him he will win]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But there are certain very practical things American Negro writers can do.
