When we select for serious consideration those doctrines which "transcend" the thought of his own age and are "for all time", we are assuming that the thought of our age is correct: for of course by thoughts which transcend the great man's age we really mean thoughts that agree with ours. Thus I value Shakespeare's picture of the transformation in old Lear more than I value his views about the divine right of kings, because I agree with Shakespeare that a man can be purified by suffering like Lear, but do not believe that kings (or any other rulers) have divine right in the sense required. When the great man's views do not seem to us erroneous we do not value them the less for having been shared with his contemporaries. Shakespeare's disdain for treachery and Christ's blessing on the poor were not alien to the outlook of their respective periods; but no one wishes to discredit them on that account.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gluttony kills more than the sword, and is the kindler of all evils. [Lat., Gula plures occidit quam gladius, estque ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13242]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gluttony kills more than the sword, and is the kindler of all evils. [Lat., Gula plures occidit quam gladius, estque fomes omnium malorum.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13242</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Peace has its victories no less than war, but it doesn't have as many monuments to unveil. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45889]]></link><description><![CDATA[Peace has its victories no less than war, but it doesn't have as many monuments to unveil.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ladies of Fashion starve their happiness to feed their vanity, and their love to feed their pride. - Lacon, 1825. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2877]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ladies of Fashion starve their happiness to feed their vanity, and their love to feed their pride. - Lacon, 1825.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2877</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Clifford Brown was in the jazz circles considered to be probably the greatest trumpet player who ever lived. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36487]]></link><description><![CDATA[Clifford Brown was in the jazz circles considered to be probably the greatest trumpet player who ever lived.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Example is not the main thing in influencing others.
