Their sublime deeds of faith, daring, and self-sacrifice usually spring from questionable motives. The weak hate not wickedness but weakness; and one instance of their hatred of weakness is hatred of self. All the passionate pursuits of the weak are in some degree a striving to escape, blur, or disguise an unwanted self. It is a striving shot through with malice, envy, self-deception, and a host of petty impulses; yet it often culminates in superb achievements.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52367</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The better part of valour is discretion. -King Henry IV.

I need not now attempt to make precise these heresies, as they came to be called. It is necessary only to point out that in various ways all these heresies were simplifications. By means of them, the revelation of God to men was made -- or appeared to be made -- less scandalous. On the other hand, the various clauses of the Creed were not formulated as a new simplification, or as an alternative-ism. They were nothing more than emphatic statements of the Biblical scandal, statements which brought into sharp antagonism the new simplification and the old, Scriptural, many-sided, and vigorous truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's clearly a very special, gifted player. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36112]]></link><description><![CDATA[He's clearly a very special, gifted player.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36112</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A word to the wise ain't necessary - it's the stupid ones that need the advice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63445]]></link><description><![CDATA[A word to the wise ain't necessary - it's the stupid ones that need the advice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63445</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The quality of the imagination is to flow and not to freeze ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20493]]></link><description><![CDATA[The quality of the imagination is to flow and not to freeze]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20493</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am ashamed of my master and not of my servitude. [Lat., Domini pudet non servitutis.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55221]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am ashamed of my master and not of my servitude. [Lat., Domini pudet non servitutis.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55221</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I die,--but first I have possess'd, And come what may, I have been bless'd. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47757]]></link><description><![CDATA[I die,--but first I have possess'd, And come what may, I have been bless'd.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The strength of criticism lies in the weakness of the thing criticized. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10763]]></link><description><![CDATA[The strength of criticism lies in the weakness of the thing criticized.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10763</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I still buy nice pieces but, at the moment, they're presents for other people, so I only collect vicariously. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42533]]></link><description><![CDATA[I still buy nice pieces but, at the moment, they're presents for other people, so I only collect vicariously.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Revolution was effected before the War commenced.
