We seem here to have a paradox: that the reality of an event, which is not real in itself, arises from the other events which, likewise, in themselves are not real. But this only affirms what we must affirm: that direction is all. And only as we realize this do we live, for our own identity is dependent upon this principal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66066]]></link><description><![CDATA[Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66066</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beneath these green trees rising to the skies, The planter of them, Isaac Greentree, lies;  The time shall come ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14103]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beneath these green trees rising to the skies, The planter of them, Isaac Greentree, lies;  The time shall come when these green trees shall fall,   And Isaac Greentree rise above them all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And gentle Dulness ever loves a joke. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50920]]></link><description><![CDATA[And gentle Dulness ever loves a joke.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Surprise is the greatest gift which life can grant us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58374]]></link><description><![CDATA[Surprise is the greatest gift which life can grant us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Books!

Or recall the infinite pains that have been taken, down the centuries, to preserve minute orthodoxy in all points of mental belief while ugly evils flaunt along the streets and are accepted meekly as part of the makeup of things! Or recollect how easy it is to assume that we, ourselves, are Christian people. Why? Oh, well, just the usual reasons: we say our prayers, when we are not too sleepy; and we come to church, when there is nothing much to do; and so, of course, there is no doubt of it, although our tempers may remain uncurbed, and our characters are not the least like Jesus Christ's, nor growing any nearer it! Do we not need that solemn warning that Christ gives us when He tells us bluntly that many people lose their lives and souls, because they are always laying the emphasis and stress on the wrong points?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only way to make a man trustworthy is to trust him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66125]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only way to make a man trustworthy is to trust him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66125</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A day without sunshine is like, you know, night. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66115]]></link><description><![CDATA[A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we need is continued engagement from the United States, first of all, in the war against terror, which will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28276]]></link><description><![CDATA[What we need is continued engagement from the United States, first of all, in the war against terror, which will help stability in Afghanistan and the whole region ... and also in the reconstruction efforts of our people,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28276</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend. -Henri Bergson. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46079]]></link><description><![CDATA[The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend. -Henri Bergson.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46079</guid></item></channel></rss>
