It is not its task to tell people what ends they should aim at. It is a science of the means to be applied for attainment of ends chosen, not, to be sure, a science of the choosing of ends. Ultimate decisions, the valuations and the choosing of ends, are beyond the scope of any science. Science never tells a man how he should act; it merely shows how a man must act if he wants to attain definite ends.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15728</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis an old lesson; time approves it true, And those who know it best, deplore it most;  When all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62009]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis an old lesson; time approves it true, And those who know it best, deplore it most;  When all is won that all desire to woo,   The paltry prize is hardly worth the cost.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62009</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best way to predict the future is to invent it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48456]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best way to predict the future is to invent it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All I want is a little more than I'll ever get. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24971]]></link><description><![CDATA[All I want is a little more than I'll ever get.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24971</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marriage is a matter of give and take, but so far I haven't been able to find anybody who'll take ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1999]]></link><description><![CDATA[Marriage is a matter of give and take, but so far I haven't been able to find anybody who'll take what I have to give.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1999</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row,  That mark our place, and in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47689]]></link><description><![CDATA[In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row,  That mark our place, and in the sky,   The larks, still bravely singing, fly    Scarce heard among the guns below.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love conquers all things except poverty and toothache. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25642]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love conquers all things except poverty and toothache.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25642</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of James Hannington, Bishop of Eastern Equatorial Africa, Martyr in Uganda, 1885    After saying our prayers, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6727]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of James Hannington, Bishop of Eastern Equatorial Africa, Martyr in Uganda, 1885    After saying our prayers, we ought to do something to make them come true.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6727</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every reformation must have its victims.

His preaching is essentially private conversation, and has at the back of it facts, facts of a life which explain and illustrate and enforce his words... It is such missionary work, done consciously and deliberately as missionary, that the world needs today. Everybody, Christian and pagan alike, respects such work; and, when it is so done, men wonder, and inquire into the secret of a life which they instinctively admire and covet for themselves... The spirit which inspires love of others and efforts after their well-being, both in body and soul, they cannot but admire and covet -- unless, indeed, seeing that it would reform their own lives, they dread and hate it, because they do not desire to be reformed. In either case, it works.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Foolproof systems do not take into account the ingenuity of fools. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/890]]></link><description><![CDATA[Foolproof systems do not take into account the ingenuity of fools.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/890</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learn to laugh at your troubles and you'll never run out of things to laugh at. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20112]]></link><description><![CDATA[Learn to laugh at your troubles and you'll never run out of things to laugh at.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20112</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no greater excitement than to support an intellectual wife and have her support you.

If I were to preach upon this text ("For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Matt. 6:21), to such a glass, it would be enough for half the sermon, enough to show the worldly man his treasure, and the object of his Heart, to call his eye to that minute-glass, and to tell him, "There flows, there flies, your treasure, and your heart with it."   But if I had a secular glass, a glass that would run an age; if the two hemispheres of the world were composed in the form of such a glass, and all the world burnt to ashes, and all the ashes, and the sands, and atoms of the world put into that glass, it would not be enough to tell the godly man what his treasure, and the object of his heart is. A parrot will sooner be brought to relate to us the wisdom of a council table, than any Ambrose, or any Chrysostom, men that have gold and honey in their names, shall tell us what the treasure of heaven is, and that man's peace, that hath set his Heart upon that treasure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8094</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's hard to lose like this because we kind of felt like we let one slip away. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37567]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's hard to lose like this because we kind of felt like we let one slip away.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People can experience loss of memory, daytime sleepiness.
