The answer, that he should order his life so that he can find the greatest happiness in it, is more a practical question, similar to that of how a man should spend his weekend, then a metaphysical proposition as to what is the mystic purpose of his life in the scheme of the universe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52252</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Spirit is matter seen in a stronger light. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57416]]></link><description><![CDATA[Spirit is matter seen in a stronger light.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is rather like a tin of sardines, we're all of us looking for the key. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23689]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is rather like a tin of sardines, we're all of us looking for the key.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People would be surprised to know how much I learned about prayer from playing poker ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42075]]></link><description><![CDATA[People would be surprised to know how much I learned about prayer from playing poker]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first principle of success is desire -- knowing what you want.

Now, I do not want here to discuss whether the miraculous is possible: I only want to point out that this is a purely philosophical question. Scholars, as scholars, speak on it with no more authority than anyone else. The canon, "If miraculous, unhistorical", is one they bring to their study of the texts, not one they have learned from it. If one is speaking of authority, the united authority of all the Biblical critics in the world counts for nothing. On this they speak simply as men -- men obviously influenced by, and perhaps insufficiently critical of, the spirit of the age they grew up in.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Down to Gehenna or up to the throne, He travels the fastest who travel alone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59629]]></link><description><![CDATA[Down to Gehenna or up to the throne, He travels the fastest who travel alone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59629</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why yes -- a bulletproof vest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24137]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why yes -- a bulletproof vest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have some Jewish members of Congress, not a lot but there's a bunch of us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35301]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have some Jewish members of Congress, not a lot but there's a bunch of us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35301</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who angers you conquers you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1027]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who angers you conquers you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1027</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If toast always lands butter-side down, and cats always land on their feet, what happens if you strap toast on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5305]]></link><description><![CDATA[If toast always lands butter-side down, and cats always land on their feet, what happens if you strap toast on the back of a cat and drop it?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Talk not of wasted affection; affection never was wasted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25899]]></link><description><![CDATA[Talk not of wasted affection; affection never was wasted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25899</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good writing gives energy, whatever it is about. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63819]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good writing gives energy, whatever it is about.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63819</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's not exactly a guy who invites the limelight, and he's not a showboat.

A Fox, seeing this, longed to possess the meat himself, and by a wily stratagem succeeded. How handsome is the Crow, he exclaimed, in the beauty of her shape and in the fairness of her complexion! Oh, if her voice were only equal to her beauty, she would deservedly be considered the Queen of Birds! This he said deceitfully; but the Crow, anxious to refute the reflection cast upon her voice, set up a loud caw and dropped the flesh. The Fox quickly picked it up, and thus addressed the Crow: My good Crow, your voice is right enough, but your wit is wanting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Among these treasures of our land is water--fast becoming our most valuable, most prized, most critical resource.
