You know you're caught, caught at last like a rat with all the world on its back. And the only thing left to do is shout -- not moan, or complain, but yell out at the top of your voice whatever it was you had to say. What you've never said before. What perhaps you don't even know till now.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37512</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Andrew the Apostle  Devotion is the real spiritual sweetness which takes away all bitterness from mortifications, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7269]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Andrew the Apostle  Devotion is the real spiritual sweetness which takes away all bitterness from mortifications, and prevents consolations from disagreeing with the soul; it cures the poor of sadness, and the rich of presumption; it keeps the oppressed from feeling desolate, and the prosperous from insolence; it averts sadness from the lonely, and dissipation from social life; it is as warmth in winter and as refreshing dew in summer; it knows how to abound and how to suffer want, how to profit alike by honour and by contempt; it accepts gladness and sadness with an even mind, and fills men's hearts with a wondrous sweetness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To do good and be evil spoken of, is kingly. [Lat., Bene facere et male audire regium est.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17836]]></link><description><![CDATA[To do good and be evil spoken of, is kingly. [Lat., Bene facere et male audire regium est.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17836</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Flowers are restful to look at.

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[Yet do I fear thy nature. It is too full o' th' milk of human kindness  To catch the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23763]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yet do I fear thy nature. It is too full o' th' milk of human kindness  To catch the nearest way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23763</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Baseball ought never be hurried.

Now I ask for God. Supposing there is a tree full of fruits -- you will have to go and buy or beg the fruits from the owner of the tree. Every day you would have to go for one or two fruits. But if you can make the tree your own property, then all the fruits will be your own. In the same way, if God is your own, then all things in Heaven and on earth will be your own, because He is your Father and is everything to you; otherwise you will have to go and ask like a beggar for certain things. When they are used up, you will have to ask again. So ask not for gifts but for the Giver of Gifts: not for life but for the Giver of Life -- then life and the things needed for life will be added unto you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a little like wrestling a gorilla.
