But if our observer had the power and omniscience of the Lord, he would also feel and sense, pulsing through and vibrating from every one of us here below, a desperate and unending plea, "Notice me! I want to be known admired, and loved by the whole world!" And it is this, this glorious weakness, this dependence of ours on each other, that makes some of us usually heroes and fools at the same time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remember, always give your best.

The load, or weight, or burden, of my neighbour's glory should be laid daily on my back, a load so heavy that only humility can carry it, and the backs of the proud will be broken. It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship --or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I will not forgive.

This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few personsnearest us.

Logic is designed to give inevitably true results starting from known true -- or assumed-to-be-true -- premises. Logic is a wonderful tool when we want only logical conclusions. We should not reject such a machine merely because it is not equipped to handle all of reality. The scientist who commits himself to use a logic machine is doing wisely, qua scientist, for use on data of science. But if he feeds into that machine convictions that there is not God, or ignores God because He is not in his corpus of data, and then draws from his logic the conclusion that God does not exist, his conclusion is irrelevant. Logic is a tool; it should not be made into a religion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7173</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Composers should write tunes that chauffeurs and errand boys can whistle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9272]]></link><description><![CDATA[Composers should write tunes that chauffeurs and errand boys can whistle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You do not pay the price of success, you enjoy the price of success. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21202]]></link><description><![CDATA[You do not pay the price of success, you enjoy the price of success.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When people are bewildered they tend to become credulous. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10624]]></link><description><![CDATA[When people are bewildered they tend to become credulous.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How many saucy airs we meet, From Temple Bar to Aldgate street! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60378]]></link><description><![CDATA[How many saucy airs we meet, From Temple Bar to Aldgate street!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60378</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life consists not merely in existing, but in enjoying health. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50627]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life consists not merely in existing, but in enjoying health.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50627</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you score one more goal than the other team, you win. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57775]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you score one more goal than the other team, you win.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57775</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the world is cold, make it your business to build fires. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62218]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the world is cold, make it your business to build fires.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62218</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[David went down in the second set, and the trainer came out and looked at him.
