If life be long I will be glad,  That I may long obey; If short--yet why should I be sad  To soar to endless day? Christ leads me through no darker rooms  Than He went through before; He that unto God's kingdom comes,  Must enter by this door. Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet  Thy blessed face to see; For if Thy work on earth be sweet,  What will Thy glory be! Then shall I end my sad complaints,  And weary, sinful days; And join with the triumphant saints,  To sing Jehovah's praise. My knowledge of that life is small,  The eye of faith is dim; But 'tis enough that Christ knows all,  And I shall be with him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7724</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But no pleasure is comparable to the standing upon the vantage ground of Truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59796]]></link><description><![CDATA[But no pleasure is comparable to the standing upon the vantage ground of Truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cheer up, children, I am all right. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15212]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cheer up, children, I am all right.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15212</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated; it satisfies the soul and frustrates the intellect.

We proceeded to live these propositions, though we would not have stated them as blandly as I set them forth here:   Man is inherently good.  Individual man can carve out his own salvation with the help of education and society through progressively better government.  Reality and values worth searching for lie in the material world that science is steadily teaching us to analyze, catalogue, and measure. While we do not deny the existence of inner values, we relegate them to second place.  The purpose of life is happiness, [which] we define in terms of enjoyable activity, friends, and the accumulation of material objects.  The pain and evil of life -- such as ignorance, poverty, selfishness, hatred, greed, lust for power -- are caused by factors in the external world; therefore, the cure lies in the reforming of human institutions and the bettering of environmental conditions.  As science and technology remove poverty and lift from us the burden of physical existence, we shall automatically become finer persons, seeing for ourselves the value of living the Golden Rule.  In time, the rest of the world will appreciate the demonstration that the American way of life is best. They will then seek for themselves the good life of freedom and prosperity. This will be the greatest impetus toward an end of global conflict.  The way to get along with people is to beware of religious dictums and dogma. The ideal is to be a nice person and to live by the Creed of Tolerance. Thus we offend few people. We live and let live. This is the American Way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a pretty significant day for us.

He's an all round rider and it's great to see him prove it with a nice result such as this. It takes a lot to achieve a podium spot in the Vuelta, and I think he's been one of the prominent riders in this race - just as we as a team have been up front in nearly all stages. We took a brilliant stage victory, and with a little luck we could've taken a couple more. On the whole I'm very satisfied with the efforts delivered by everyone. Our aim was to get a good result overall and try for a stage win along the way, and we've achieved both. The team has worked perfectly and everyone down here in and around the team deserve big credit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40097</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Madness is rare in individuals - but in groups, parties, nations, and ages it is the rule. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63615]]></link><description><![CDATA[Madness is rare in individuals - but in groups, parties, nations, and ages it is the rule.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Texas does not need Big Brother watching over us; this is America, not Soviet Russia. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40074]]></link><description><![CDATA[Texas does not need Big Brother watching over us; this is America, not Soviet Russia.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40074</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History is something that never happened, written by a man who wasn't there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19352]]></link><description><![CDATA[History is something that never happened, written by a man who wasn't there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whenever you see a fellow-creature in trouble, remember that he is a man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51213]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whenever you see a fellow-creature in trouble, remember that he is a man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She laughs at my dreams, but I dream about her laughter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12842]]></link><description><![CDATA[She laughs at my dreams, but I dream about her laughter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12842</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lover tries to stand in well with the pet dog of the house. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12317]]></link><description><![CDATA[A lover tries to stand in well with the pet dog of the house.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12317</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dishonesty, cowardice and duplicity are never impulsive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10477]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dishonesty, cowardice and duplicity are never impulsive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In peace, competition had become difficult, until the British ship owner cried for war; yet he already felt, without acknowledging ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36468]]></link><description><![CDATA[In peace, competition had become difficult, until the British ship owner cried for war; yet he already felt, without acknowledging it even to himself, that in war he was likely to enjoy little profit or pleasure on the day when the long, low, black hull of the Yankee privateer, with her tapering, bending spars, her long-range guns, and her sharp-faced captain, should appear on the western horizon, and suddenly, at the sight of heavy-lumbering British merchantman, should fling out her white wings of canvas, and fly down on her prey.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9019]]></link><description><![CDATA[Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9019</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The soul would have no rainbow had the eyes no tears. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26845]]></link><description><![CDATA[The soul would have no rainbow had the eyes no tears.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26845</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're focusing on particular works ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â€Â films, books, pieces of music, architecture ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â€Â that deserve the name 'icon' and have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40285]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're focusing on particular works ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â€Â films, books, pieces of music, architecture ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â€Â that deserve the name 'icon' and have this influence on our culture.
