Hence a man’s reaction to monarchy is a kind of test. Monarchy can easily be ‘debunked;' but watch the faces, mark the accents of the debunkers. These are the men whose tap-root in Eden has been cut: whom no rumour of the polyphony, the dance, can reach - men to whom pebbles laid in a row are more beautiful than an arch. Yet even if they desire equality, they cannot reach it. Where men are forbidden to honour a king they honour millionaires, athletes or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just every moment with Dick Cheney has been my favorite.

Here's what I wonder about Dick Cheney, and the reason that maybe they keep him only in loyalty oath audiences, is if he becomes angry, I do believe he turns into the Hulk. And so, they try and keep people from questioning him, because he'll just -- the shirt rips, and suddenly he has hair. So he's been my favorite, because he just goes out there to a room full of supporters and says, 'You know we're all going to die, right?' You're going to die unless I'm in charge.']]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In war, when a commander becomes so bereft of reason and perspective that he fails to understand the dependence of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11919]]></link><description><![CDATA[In war, when a commander becomes so bereft of reason and perspective that he fails to understand the dependence of arms on Divine guidance, he no longer deserves victory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11919</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Borrow money from a pessimist - they don't expect it back ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17056]]></link><description><![CDATA[Borrow money from a pessimist - they don't expect it back]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17056</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To make mistakes is human; to stumble is commonplace; to be able to laugh at yourself is maturity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26573]]></link><description><![CDATA[To make mistakes is human; to stumble is commonplace; to be able to laugh at yourself is maturity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's incredible to have been part of fashion history - my whole career has been one big highlight. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65061]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's incredible to have been part of fashion history - my whole career has been one big highlight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65061</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness.

But Jesus did believe in Him, was sure He is alive and abroad in the world; that, therefore, anything may happen any hour. And thus to Him any smallest incident was a magic casement opening upon who could tell what possibilities. A fisherman offers Him a crude, inchoate half-faith, and with that He is sure that He can found a world-wide Church that will defy the powers of evil, aye, and grind them into nothingness at last: a dying brigand, paying the just penalties of his crimes, gropes towards Him in the darkness with the vague hands of a blind man, and, founding upon that, Christ dies, quite sure that He has won: two or three Gentiles seek an interview with Him, and He sees a whole teeming world of men and women being saved.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7808</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Last year, we had a shortage of 2-year-old birds from the poor hatch in 2003, so we didn't have a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37112]]></link><description><![CDATA[Last year, we had a shortage of 2-year-old birds from the poor hatch in 2003, so we didn't have a surplus of those birds to carry over.

For instance, although there are some 200,000 "errors" among the New Testament manuscripts, these appear in only about 10,000 places, and only about one-sixtieth rise above the level of trivialities. Westcott and Hort, Ezra Abbot, Philip Schaff, and A. T. Robertson have carefully evaluated the evidence and have concluded that the New Testament text is over 99 percent pure. In the light of the fact that there are over 5,000 Greek manuscripts, some 9,000 versions and translations, the evidence for the integrity of the New Testament is beyond question.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6703</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Twas the saying of an ancient sage that humour was the only test of gravity, and gravity of humour.
