So, day by day, and week by week; so month after month, and year after year, work on, and in that process gain strength and symmetry, and nerve and knowledge, that when success, patiently and bravely worked for, shall come, it may find you prepared to receive it and keep it,.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53297</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Two angels guide The path of man, both aged and yet young.  As angels are, ripening through endless years, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53093]]></link><description><![CDATA[Two angels guide The path of man, both aged and yet young.  As angels are, ripening through endless years,   On one he leans: some call her Memory,    And some Tradition; and her voice is sweet,     With deep mysterious accords: the other,      Floating above, holds down a lamp with streams       A light divine and searching on the earth,        Compelling eyes and footsteps. Memory yields,         Yet clings with loving check, and shines anew,          Reflecting all the rays of that bright lamp           Our angel Reason holds.

Criminal laws are laws, imposed on men, who are already in existence, with or without their consent, and, with the possible exception of capital punishment for murder, there is no logical relation between the nature of a crime and the penalty inflicted for committing it. If God created man, then the laws of man's spiritual nature must, like the laws of his physical nature, be laws -- laws, that is to say, which he is free to defy but no more free to break than he can break the law of gravity by jumping out of the window, or the laws of biochemistry by getting drunk -- and the consequences of defying them must be as inevitable and as intrinsically related to their nature as a broken leg or a hangover. To state spiritual laws in the imperative -- Thou shalt love God with all thy being, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself -- is simply a pedagogical technique, as when a mother says to her small son, "Stay away from the window!" because the child does not yet know what will happen if he falls out of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ho! stand to your glasses steady! 'Tis all we have left to prize.  A cup to the dead already,-- ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59388]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ho! stand to your glasses steady! 'Tis all we have left to prize.  A cup to the dead already,--   Hurrah for the next that dies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59388</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We love without reason, and without reason we hate. [Fr., On aime sans raison, et sans raison l'on hait.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53110]]></link><description><![CDATA[We love without reason, and without reason we hate. [Fr., On aime sans raison, et sans raison l'on hait.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53110</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To marry is to halve your rights and double your duties. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27115]]></link><description><![CDATA[To marry is to halve your rights and double your duties.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wasn't born to be a fighter.

It's wrong to divide people on the basis of sexual preference, of sexual orientation. It's wrong to say that women are unequal, if the Bible says so.

Of course, it is often brilliantly right.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54260</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sinews of business (or state). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42951]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sinews of business (or state).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money doesn't sleep. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42986]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money doesn't sleep.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42986</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God has called us to shine, just as much as Daniel was sent into Babylon to shine.
