Not that we are bound to believe any thing against reason, that is, to believe, we know not why. It is but a slack opinion, it is not Belief, that is not grounded upon Reason. It is true, we have not a Demonstration; not such an Evidence as that one and two are three, to prove these to be Scriptures of God; God hath not proceeded in that manner, to drive our reason into a pound, and to force it by a peremptory necessity to accept these for Scriptures, for then, here had been no exercise of our Will, and our assent, if we could not have resisted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If blue collar jobs are leavingand white collar jobs are outsourcedwhat color collar jobs are left? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10681]]></link><description><![CDATA[If blue collar jobs are leavingand white collar jobs are outsourcedwhat color collar jobs are left?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10681</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44516]]></link><description><![CDATA[I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Failure is impossible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19515]]></link><description><![CDATA[Failure is impossible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Effective leadership is putting first things first.

We merely prevent its leaking out at a certain point, with the likely result that it will leak out at some other point. Thus by denigrating prevailing beliefs and loyalties, the militant man of words unwittingly creates in the disillusioned masses a hunger for faith. For the majority of people cannot endure the barrenness and futility of their lives unless they have some ardent dedication, or some passionate pursuit in which they can lose themselves. Thus, in spite of himself, the scoffing man of words becomes the precursor of a new faith.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have believed--and we do believe now--that freedom is indivisible, that peace is indivisible, that economic prosperity is indivisible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20005]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have believed--and we do believe now--that freedom is indivisible, that peace is indivisible, that economic prosperity is indivisible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20005</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26230]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.

I am going nowhere, and nowhere quick, but, those of you who have children, I am sorry to tell you this, but they are not special. Wait! I know some of you are going "what, what?" Let me just clarify: I know YOU think they're special ... ha ha ha! I'm aware of that. I'm just here to tell you, that they're NOT! Ha ha ha ha! Sorry. Did you know that every time a guy comes he comes two-hundred million sperm? One out of TWO-HUNDRED MILLION – that load, we're only talking about one load – connected: gee, what are the fucking odds? Do you know what that means? I've wiped nations off've my chest with a grey gymsock. ENTIRE CIVILISATIONS HAVE FLAKED AND CRUSTED IN THE HAIR AROUND MY NAVEL!

Hence a man’s reaction to monarchy is a kind of test. Monarchy can easily be ‘debunked;' but watch the faces, mark the accents of the debunkers. These are the men whose tap-root in Eden has been cut: whom no rumour of the polyphony, the dance, can reach - men to whom pebbles laid in a row are more beautiful than an arch. Yet even if they desire equality, they cannot reach it. Where men are forbidden to honour a king they honour millionaires, athletes or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fortune does not come twice.
