Sometimes migrating groups of potato-washers meet non-washers, and the two groups watch each other's strange behavior with apparent bewilderment. But unlike the inhabitants of Lilliput, who fought holy crusades over the question at which end to break the egg, the potato-washing monkeys do not go to war with the non-washers, because the poor creatures have no language which would enable them to declare washing a diving commandment and eating unwashed potatoes a deadly heresy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What care if the day Be turned to gray,  What care if the night come soon!   We ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21000]]></link><description><![CDATA[What care if the day Be turned to gray,  What care if the night come soon!   We may choose the pace    Who bow for grace,     At the Inn of the Silver Moon.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are Divine enough to ask and we are important enough to receive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12596]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are Divine enough to ask and we are important enough to receive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12596</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The judge is condemned when the guilty is acquitted. [Lat., Judex damnatur cum nocens absolvitur.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51654]]></link><description><![CDATA[The judge is condemned when the guilty is acquitted. [Lat., Judex damnatur cum nocens absolvitur.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are at our very best, and we are happiest, when we are fully engagedin work we enjoy on the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21664]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are at our very best, and we are happiest, when we are fully engagedin work we enjoy on the journey toward the goal we've established forourselves.

There is no breaking through this law of our being. Every attempt to do so proves itself in experience to be futile. Hence we are in a more helpless state of bondage than that which materialistic determinism holds; for the tyrant is established within our own consciousness. One way, and one way only, out of this bondage remains. If we can discover how to make our own immediate desire, and the act of will springing out of it, accord with the supreme law of our being, then to "do as we like" will no longer be to run our heads against the stone wall of necessity which shuts us out from the heaven of satisfaction. For we shall only "like" doing what we "ought". This introduces a new sense of the word "freedom". It does not now mean freedom from restrains to follow our desires, but freedom from the tyranny of futile desires to follow what is really good. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7480</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We call them dumb animals, and so they are, for they cannot tell us how they feel, but they do ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62054]]></link><description><![CDATA[We call them dumb animals, and so they are, for they cannot tell us how they feel, but they do not suffer less because they have no words.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62054</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't use tact with a Congressman!
