But -- I know not well whence it comes to pass -- the things spoken do not abide nor incorporate in our minds. They please and refresh for a little while, like a shower of rain in a dry season, that soaketh not unto the roots of things; the power of them doth not enter into us. Is it not from hence, that their notions of future things are not educed out of the experience which we have of the beginnings of them in this world? Yea, the soul is disturbed, not edified, in all contemplations of future glory, where things are proposed to it whereof in this life it hath neither foretaste, sense, experience, nor evidence. No man ought to look for anything in heaven, but what one way or other he hath some experience of in this life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the labourer is worthy of his hire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48578]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the labourer is worthy of his hire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[When we filmed Animal House, I] found John [Belushi] astonishingly shy and vulnerable.

Theoretically, man is said to be nothing but an animal with a highly developed cerebrum. At the same time, it is believed of this man that he is capable by science and technical devices of achieving whatever he wants. The deification which might have been thought to be finally overcome, returns as it were from behind, in the form of a deification of technical creativity to which not much less than omnipotence is ascribed. After mankind has done away with the pseudo-religion of race and blood, it is faced with the even greater danger of a technocratical pseudo-religion. There is no room for human personality, freedom and justice in either of these new religions of divine man. But the most dangerous of all must be the one which makes man at the same time nothing and God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3939]]></link><description><![CDATA[A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3939</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Speak when you are angry - and you'll make the best speech you'll ever regret. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2523]]></link><description><![CDATA[Speak when you are angry - and you'll make the best speech you'll ever regret.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the hollow drum has beat to bed And the little fifer hangs his head,  When all is mute ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43070]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the hollow drum has beat to bed And the little fifer hangs his head,  When all is mute the Moorish flute,   And nodding guards watch wearily,    On, then let me,     From prison free,      March out by moonlight cheerily.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43070</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great ability develops and reveals itself increasingly with every new assignment. - The Oracle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27904]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great ability develops and reveals itself increasingly with every new assignment. - The Oracle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The nation is prosperpus on the whole, but how much prosperity is there in a hole? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20840]]></link><description><![CDATA[The nation is prosperpus on the whole, but how much prosperity is there in a hole?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We cannot but be astonished at the ease with which men resign themselves to ignorance about what is most important ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52118]]></link><description><![CDATA[We cannot but be astonished at the ease with which men resign themselves to ignorance about what is most important for them to know; and we may be certain that they are determined to remain invincibly ignorant if they once come to consider it as axiomatic that there are no absolute principles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True politeness consists in being easy one's self, and in making every one about one as easy as one can. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10449]]></link><description><![CDATA[True politeness consists in being easy one's self, and in making every one about one as easy as one can.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Avoiding likewise the accumulation of debt, not only by shunning occasions of expense, but by vigorous exertions in time of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11476]]></link><description><![CDATA[Avoiding likewise the accumulation of debt, not only by shunning occasions of expense, but by vigorous exertions in time of peace to discharge the debts which unavoidable wars have occasioned, not ungenerously throwing upon posterity the burthen whic]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11476</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Having been a linebacker in college, I feel I have an advantage because I can easily associate with my guys. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36643]]></link><description><![CDATA[Having been a linebacker in college, I feel I have an advantage because I can easily associate with my guys.
