It has been the largest single factor in combating, on a world-wide scale, such ancient foes of man as war, famine, and the exploitation of one race by another. More than any other religion, it has made for the dignity of human personality. This it has done by a power inherent within it of lifting lives from selfishness, spiritual mediocrity, and moral defeat and disintegration, to unselfish achievement and contagious moral and spiritual power and by the high value which it set upon every human soul through the possibilities which it held out of endless growth in fellowship with the eternal God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, father's gone to market-town, he was up before the day, And Jamie's after robins, and the man is making ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58260]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, father's gone to market-town, he was up before the day, And Jamie's after robins, and the man is making hay,  And whistling down the hollow goes the boy that minds the mill,   While mother from the kitchen door is calling with a will,    "Polly!--Polly!--The cows are in the corn!     Oh, where's Polly?"]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58260</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our feelings are our most genuine paths to knowledge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15554]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our feelings are our most genuine paths to knowledge.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15554</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Very obviously, they've pitched well - not making mistakes, living on the corners. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35258]]></link><description><![CDATA[Very obviously, they've pitched well - not making mistakes, living on the corners.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35258</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dishonesty is so grasping it would deceive God himself, were it possible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12543]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dishonesty is so grasping it would deceive God himself, were it possible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12543</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never a ship sails out of bay but carries my heart as a stowaway. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59599]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never a ship sails out of bay but carries my heart as a stowaway.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The truth that many people never understand, until it is too late, is that the more that you try to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24959]]></link><description><![CDATA[The truth that many people never understand, until it is too late, is that the more that you try to avoid suffering, the more you suffer, because smaller and more insignificant things begin to torture you in proportion to your fear of being hurt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first, and whatever you hit call it the target. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46373]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first, and whatever you hit call it the target.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46373</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I sometimes think I was born to live up to my name.

He desires his transcript to be faithful to the meaning of the original, so far as he can reach that meaning, and also to do some justice to its literary qualities. But he is well aware that his aim often exceeds his grasp. Translation may be a fascinating task, yet no discipline is more humbling. You may be translating oracles, but soon you learn the risk and folly of posing as an oracle yourself. If your readers are dissatisfied at any point, they may be sure that the translator is still more dissatisfied, if not there, then elsewhere -- all the more so, because, in the nature of the case, he has always to appear dogmatic in print.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The person that loses their conscience has nothing left worth keeping. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9818]]></link><description><![CDATA[The person that loses their conscience has nothing left worth keeping.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9818</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shout now!
