You would be surprised if you knew how soon one begins to feel the shortness of the tether: of how many things, even in middle life, we have to say, "No time for that", "Too late now" and "Not for me". But Nature herself forbids you [young people] to share that experience. A more Christian attitude, which can be attained at any age, is that of leaving futurity in God's hands. We may as well, for God will certainly retain it whether we leave it to Him or not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8495</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["The time has come," the Walrus said, "To talk of many things:  Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--   Of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58606]]></link><description><![CDATA["The time has come," the Walrus said, "To talk of many things:  Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--   Of cabbages--and kings--    And why the sea is boiling hot--     And whether pigs have wings."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A pampered menial drove me from the door. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3929]]></link><description><![CDATA[A pampered menial drove me from the door.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3929</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you are ill make haste to forgive your enemies, for you may recover. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13872]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you are ill make haste to forgive your enemies, for you may recover.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13872</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are that which activates the body. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21167]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are that which activates the body.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21167</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I once saw a forklift lift a crate of forks.

It is not some crack in an otherwise flawless stone. It is, quite spectacularly I think, art which is not based on the subjugation of one half of the species. It is art which will take the great human themes --love, death, heroism, suffering, history itself --and render them fully human. It may also, though perhaps our imaginations are so mutilated now that we are incapable even of the ambition, introduce a new theme, one as great and as rich as those others --should we call it "joy"?.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conscience is a coward, and those faults it has not strength to prevent, it seldom has justice enough to accuse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9801]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conscience is a coward, and those faults it has not strength to prevent, it seldom has justice enough to accuse.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9801</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Douglas Downes, Founder of the Society of Saint Francis, 1957 There are three lessons I would write,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7531]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Douglas Downes, Founder of the Society of Saint Francis, 1957 There are three lessons I would write,  Three words, as with a burning pen, In tracings of eternal light,  Upon the hearts of men. Have Hope. Though clouds environ round,  And gladness hides her face in scorn,  Put off the shadow from thy brow:  No night but hath its morn. Have Faith. Where'er thy bark is driven -  The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth - Know this: God rules the hosts of heaven,  The inhabitants of earth. Have Love. Not love alone for one,  But man, as man, thy brother call;  And scatter, like a circling sun,  Thy charities on all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you do things well, do them better.
