Remote from universal nature, and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the function of a judge not to make but to declare the law, according to the golden mete-wand ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23497]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the function of a judge not to make but to declare the law, according to the golden mete-wand of the law and not by the crooked cord of discretion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One ungrateful man injures all who need assistance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51628]]></link><description><![CDATA[One ungrateful man injures all who need assistance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51628</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Soldiers are dreamers; when the guns begin they think of firelit homes, clean beds, and wives ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57117]]></link><description><![CDATA[Soldiers are dreamers; when the guns begin they think of firelit homes, clean beds, and wives]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a tree dies, plant another in its place. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66350]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a tree dies, plant another in its place.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have the simplest tastes.
