What dreadful noise of waters in mine ears! What ugly sights of death within mine eyes! Methought I saw a thousand fearful wrecks, Ten thousand men that fishes gnawed upon, Wedges of gold, great anchors, heaps of pearl, Inestimable stones, unvalued jewels, All scattered in the bottom of the sea: Some lay in dead men's skulls; and in those holes Where eyes did once inhabit, there were crept, As 't were in scorn of eyes, reflecting gems. -King Richard III. Act i. Sc. 4.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56004</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Well has the name of Pontifex been given Unto the Church's head, as the chief builder  And architect of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8679]]></link><description><![CDATA[Well has the name of Pontifex been given Unto the Church's head, as the chief builder  And architect of the invisible bridge   That leads from earth to heaven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The simplicity of the interaction is one of the most critical things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32067]]></link><description><![CDATA[The simplicity of the interaction is one of the most critical things.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32067</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True wisdom lies in gathering the precious things out of each day as it goes by. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1265]]></link><description><![CDATA[True wisdom lies in gathering the precious things out of each day as it goes by.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The scientists have to worry about their future, and they may opt to leave Iraq looking for a better future ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32992]]></link><description><![CDATA[The scientists have to worry about their future, and they may opt to leave Iraq looking for a better future ... there may be some scientists who have a deep grudge against the United States.

Among the adulatory formulas with which the emperor was acclaimed, Prof. Ethelbert Stauffer mentions, as going back to the first century, "Hail, Victory, Lord of the earth, Invincible, Power, Glory, Honour, Peace, Security, Holy, Blessed, Unequalled, Great, Thou alone worthy art, Worthy is he to inherit the Kingdom, Come, come, do not delay, Come again" (p. 155) [in Christ and the Caesars]. Indeed, one has only to read Psalm lxxii, in Latin, in the official language of the empire, to see that it is largely the same formal language which is used alike in the Forum for the advent of the emperor, and in the catacombs for the celebration of the "Epiphany of Christ" (p. 251). Who was worthy to ascend the throne of the universe and direct the course of history? Caesar, or Jesus?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By gold all good faith has been banished; by gold our rights are abused; the law itself is influenced by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4907]]></link><description><![CDATA[By gold all good faith has been banished; by gold our rights are abused; the law itself is influenced by gold, and soon there will be an end of every modest restraint. [Lat., Auro pulsa fides. auro venalia jura,  Aurum lex sequitur, mox sine lege pudor.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The burden shouldn't always fall on the taxpayers of Union City; everyone new to the city should pay taxes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35033]]></link><description><![CDATA[The burden shouldn't always fall on the taxpayers of Union City; everyone new to the city should pay taxes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35033</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to admit it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53137]]></link><description><![CDATA[Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to admit it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Affliction is the good man's shining scene; Prosperity conceals his brightest ray;  As night to stars, woe lustre gives ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1668]]></link><description><![CDATA[Affliction is the good man's shining scene; Prosperity conceals his brightest ray;  As night to stars, woe lustre gives to man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our ignorance of history makes us libel our own times.
