Church of Scotland there were a number of ministers who thought that the state of heathenism was so utterly corrupt, and that there was so much to be done in our own country, that it was altogether a Utopian project to think of converting the idolaters, and that it was not our imperative duty to trouble ourselves with their wretched condition.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do not know beneath what sky nor on what seas shall be thy fate; I only know it shall ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11273]]></link><description><![CDATA[I do not know beneath what sky nor on what seas shall be thy fate; I only know it shall be high, I only know it shall be great.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[New York has all that intense hatred and pain-just torture-where everything is 10 times as hard as it needs to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30132]]></link><description><![CDATA[New York has all that intense hatred and pain-just torture-where everything is 10 times as hard as it needs to be, and everything is terribly important.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30132</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Put yourself in a state of mind where you say to yourself, "Here is an opportunity for me to celebrate ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/87]]></link><description><![CDATA[Put yourself in a state of mind where you say to yourself, "Here is an opportunity for me to celebrate like never before, my own power, my own ability to get myself to do whatever is necessary.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/87</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Truth's sacred fort th' exploded laugh shall win, And coxcombs vanquish Berkeley with a grin. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24162]]></link><description><![CDATA[Truth's sacred fort th' exploded laugh shall win, And coxcombs vanquish Berkeley with a grin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't fight forces, use them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63340]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't fight forces, use them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63340</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For me, elegance is not to pass unnoticed but to get to the very soul of what one is. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/883]]></link><description><![CDATA[For me, elegance is not to pass unnoticed but to get to the very soul of what one is.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/883</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The whole town laughed at my great-grandfather, just because he worked hard and saved his money.

True, working at the hardware store didn't pay much, but he felt it was better than what everybody else did, which was go up to the volcano and collect the gold nuggets it shot out every day. It turned out he was right. After forty years, the volcano petered out. Everybody left town, and the hardware store went broke.
