Some were mountainous; some lay in long, monotonous rows like, the basalt precipices hanging over desert canons. Such was the background of the wonderful, cruel, enchanting, bewildering, fatal, great city. But into this background were cut myriads of brilliant parallelograms and circles and squares through which glowed many colored lights. And out of the violet and purple depths ascended like the city's soul, sound and odors and thrills that make up the civic body. There arose the breath of gaiety unrestrained, of love, of hate, of all the passions that man can know. There below him lay all things, good or bad, that can be brought from the four corners of the earth to instruct, please, thrill, enrich, elevate, cast down, nurture or kill. Thus the flavor of it came up to him and went into his blood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou water turn'st to wine, fair friend of life; Thy foe, to cross the sweet arts of Thy reign,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27554]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou water turn'st to wine, fair friend of life; Thy foe, to cross the sweet arts of Thy reign,  Distils from thence the tears of wrath and strife,   And so turns wine to water back again.   - Richard Crashaw,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27554</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He wanted to hear from everyone, no matter what they have to say. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33290]]></link><description><![CDATA[He wanted to hear from everyone, no matter what they have to say.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33290</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It’s the idea that people living close to nature tend to be noble.

And when thus I look at Him, what do I learn? First of all, the true divinity of Christ Himself. I cannot doubt what is His own conception of His own personality. Through everything He does, through everything He says, there shines the quiet, intense radiance of conscious Godhead. Again, I say, it is not a word or two which He utters, though He does say things which make known His self-consciousness, but it is a certain sense of originalness, of being, as it were, behind the processes of things -- this is what has impressed mankind in Jesus, and been the real power of their often puzzled but never abandoned faith in His Divinity. He has appeared to men, in some way, as He appears to us today, to be not merely the channel but the fountain of Love and Wisdom and Power, of Pity and Inspiration and Hope: The wonderful thing about this sense of Divinity as it appears in Jesus is its naturalness, the absence of surprise or of any feeling of violence. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To see what is right and not to do it is cowardice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65748]]></link><description><![CDATA[To see what is right and not to do it is cowardice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65748</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every generation thinks it has the answers, and every generation is humbled by nature ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17228]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every generation thinks it has the answers, and every generation is humbled by nature]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2456]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One hand washeth another, and both the face.
