'No one has said anything to me about a war. I really think I should have been told. I'll be damned,' he said defiantly, 'if they shall have a war without consulting me. What's a cabinet for, if there's not more mutual confidence than that? What do they want a war for anyway?']]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Allow the world to live as it chooses, and allow yourself to live as you choose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63230]]></link><description><![CDATA[Allow the world to live as it chooses, and allow yourself to live as you choose.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a talent of the weak to persuade themselves that they suffer for something when they suffer from something; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46311]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a talent of the weak to persuade themselves that they suffer for something when they suffer from something; that they are showing the way when they are running away; that they see the light when they feel the heat; that they are chosen when they are shunned.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And lilies are still lilies, pulled By smutty hands, though spotted from their white. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16246]]></link><description><![CDATA[And lilies are still lilies, pulled By smutty hands, though spotted from their white.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I heard his library burned down and both books were destroyed -- and one of them hadn't even been colored ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4568]]></link><description><![CDATA[I heard his library burned down and both books were destroyed -- and one of them hadn't even been colored in yet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every board member should have the right to stand up and vote the way they believe in.

The skeptical Greek philosopher may remind us that, after all, the image of Athena is only a symbol, only a means of fixing one's rambling thoughts upon the spirit that is Athena. Yet the idolater will persist in losing sight of the forest for the trees, and the god for the image. The gold and ivory statue of Athena becomes holy in itself, an answerer of prayer, a mysterious source of power, a material object somehow different from other objects. The crucifix, the plaster image, the saint's relic or miraculous medal or cheaply and illegibly printed Bible may become themselves things considered holy and magical, able to stop a bullet. Worse yet, the god confined in an image is a shrunken and powerless god. Because you have limited your concept of God to a man shape on a carved crucifix, you may be in danger of inferring that you are free to outrage the man shapes walking and breathing around you. Because you worship the god in a specially baked wafer and a specially designed chalice, you may forget to worship the God of all bread and all wine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are a 24-year-old man, you believe that old age begins about 55 [while] if you are a 62-year-old ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33712]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are a 24-year-old man, you believe that old age begins about 55 [while] if you are a 62-year-old woman, you think youth doesn't end until 57.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33712</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That father perished at the stake For tenets he would not forsake. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48762]]></link><description><![CDATA[That father perished at the stake For tenets he would not forsake.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first service a child doth his father is to make him foolish. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49852]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first service a child doth his father is to make him foolish.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49852</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Get place and wealth, if possible, with grace; If not, by any means get wealth and place. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61421]]></link><description><![CDATA[Get place and wealth, if possible, with grace; If not, by any means get wealth and place.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52667]]></link><description><![CDATA[Quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52667</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A cup of hot wine with not a drop of allaying Tiber in 't. -Coriolanus.
