To Homer, the dawn was "rosy-fingered"; to Shakespeare, it was "in russet mantle clad"; to Housman, "the ship of sunrise burning". The scientist can explain exactly why the sky looks as it does in the early morning, the physiologist why we perceive as we do. Yet no one suggests that there is no dawn at all, or that its appearance has changed over the centuries, or that any one of these percipients was mad or deceitful.

One of them was young, and the other well advanced in years. The elder woman, ashamed to be courted by a man younger than herself, made a point, whenever her admirer visited her, to pull out some portion of his black hairs. The younger, on the contrary, not wishing to become the wife of an old man, was equally zealous in removing every gray hair she could find. Thus it came to pass that between them both he very soon found that he had not a hair left on his head. Those who seek to please everybody please nobody.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas the Apostle  In the era of faith there is room for repentance, since each person can ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6245]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas the Apostle  In the era of faith there is room for repentance, since each person can decide freely for Christ; in the era of sight, when the reign of Christ is manifest, only judgment is left for the undecided.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Craft against craft makes no living. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49187]]></link><description><![CDATA[Craft against craft makes no living.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every sentence I utter must be understood not as an affirmation, but as a question. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1652]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every sentence I utter must be understood not as an affirmation, but as a question.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An open mind, like an open window, should be screened to keep the bugs out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56496]]></link><description><![CDATA[An open mind, like an open window, should be screened to keep the bugs out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hatred of relatives is the most violent. [Lat., Accerima proximorum odia.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51678]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hatred of relatives is the most violent. [Lat., Accerima proximorum odia.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51678</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let the dead bury their dead. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48584]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let the dead bury their dead.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each song, you're telling a story and acting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65352]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each song, you're telling a story and acting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13432]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13432</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Repentance for silence is better than repentance for speaking ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53803]]></link><description><![CDATA[Repentance for silence is better than repentance for speaking]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53803</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The men who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than thosewho try to do nothing and succeed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21340]]></link><description><![CDATA[The men who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than thosewho try to do nothing and succeed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21340</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These elections ... will put an end to the era of dictatorship by one party or faction in decision-making in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28234]]></link><description><![CDATA[These elections ... will put an end to the era of dictatorship by one party or faction in decision-making in Palestinians political life.
