The real questions refuse to be placated. They barge into your life at the times when it seems most important for them to stay away. They are the questions asked most frequently and answered most inadequately, the ones that reveal their true natures slowly, reluctantly, most often against your will. -Ingrid Bengis.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A slight touch of friendly malice and amusement towards those we love keeps our affections for them from turning flat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1630]]></link><description><![CDATA[A slight touch of friendly malice and amusement towards those we love keeps our affections for them from turning flat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1630</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tiny Salmoneus of the air His mimic bolts the firefly threw. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16031]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tiny Salmoneus of the air His mimic bolts the firefly threw.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16031</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pride is the mask of one's own faults. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48223]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pride is the mask of one's own faults.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48223</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we propose to ignore in a great man's teaching those doctrines which it has in common with the thought ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8518]]></link><description><![CDATA[When we propose to ignore in a great man's teaching those doctrines which it has in common with the thought of his age, we seem to be assuming that the thought of his age was erroneous. 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[To be prepared for War is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11831]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be prepared for War is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11831</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If there is nothing wrong with me, maybe there's something wrong with the universe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60226]]></link><description><![CDATA[If there is nothing wrong with me, maybe there's something wrong with the universe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60226</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Make no little plans.
