Every man is born under the yoke, and grows up beneath the oppressions of his age. He can only get a vision of the unselfish forces in the world by appealing to them, and every appeal is a call to arms. If he fights he must fight, not one man, but a conspiracy. He is always at war with a civilization. On his side is proverbial philosophy, a galaxy of invisible saints and sages, and the half-developed consciousness and professions of everybody. Against him is the world, and every selfish passion in his own heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22586</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we put all this on the menu, it would look like all the other places where you have to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33302]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we put all this on the menu, it would look like all the other places where you have to squint to read it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[St Agnes' Eve--Ah, bitter chill it was! The owl, for all his feathers, was a-cold. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45337]]></link><description><![CDATA[St Agnes' Eve--Ah, bitter chill it was! The owl, for all his feathers, was a-cold.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He makes a great row but does nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51150]]></link><description><![CDATA[He makes a great row but does nothing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Autumn arrives in the early morning, but spring at the close of a winter day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54967]]></link><description><![CDATA[Autumn arrives in the early morning, but spring at the close of a winter day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54967</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who stops being better stops being good. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2282]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who stops being better stops being good.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2282</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was a tough match because Ruben is a clay-court player, ...

For those who busy themselves to know the will of God, however, it is still true that "those who want to save their life will lose it." My extreme preoccupation with knowing God's will for me may only indicate, contrary to what is often thought, that I am overconcerned with myself, not a Christlike interest in the well-being of others or in the glory of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a trick among the dishonest to offer sacrifices that are not needed, or not possible, to avoid making ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44359]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a trick among the dishonest to offer sacrifices that are not needed, or not possible, to avoid making those that are required.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Had I but written as many odes in praise of Muhammad and Ali as I have composed for King Mahmud, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55216]]></link><description><![CDATA[Had I but written as many odes in praise of Muhammad and Ali as I have composed for King Mahmud, they would have showered a hundred blessings on me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I discover who I am, I'll be free. -Ralph Ellison. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22805]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I discover who I am, I'll be free. -Ralph Ellison.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22805</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be not arrogant when fortune smiles, or dejected when she frowns. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48606]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be not arrogant when fortune smiles, or dejected when she frowns.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He only does it to annoy you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50448]]></link><description><![CDATA[He only does it to annoy you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50448</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A fanatic is one who sticks to his guns whether they're loaded or not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15275]]></link><description><![CDATA[A fanatic is one who sticks to his guns whether they're loaded or not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15275</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We used to say that Memorial Day started the season.

It is here amongst the people, that the Church must worship and live its life. If it is faithful both to God and to its Gospel, it will be used to hold forth the Word of light to the conversion of those that see and hear. But if its light is hid, then wherewith shall the neighborhood be lighted?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The war is just there to get Dad off stage, ...

For if philosophers become kings or scientists commissars, they become politicians, and the powers given to the state are powers given to men who are rulers of states, men subject to all the limitations and temptations of their dangerous craft. Unless this is borne in mind, there will be a dangerous optimistic tendency to sweep aside doubts and fears as irrelevant, since, in the state that the projectors have in mind, power will be exercised by men of a wisdom and degree of moral virtue that we have not yet seen. It won't. It will be exercised by men who will be men first and rulers next and scientists and saints long after.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For of the most High cometh healing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26678]]></link><description><![CDATA[For of the most High cometh healing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26678</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that is proud of the rustling of his silks, like a madman, laughs at the ratling of his fetters. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2730]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that is proud of the rustling of his silks, like a madman, laughs at the ratling of his fetters.
