There had been days when he had been too hectoring or domineering -- so, at least, these impossible people had said, though he himself denied it still. At all events, protesting to Rome, they had won the Emperor's ear, and humbled their governor. And that must not happen again. Ah, me! Is not this life of ours a fearsome thing? Take care! take care! for if you sin that sin, be sure that somehow you will pay for it -- and, it may be, at how hideous a price! So Pilate found in his day; so you, too, will find it in ours... Only God knows what may come out of that, if you should give way to it. Pilate was curt and domineering to the Jews one day. And it was because of that, months later, his unwilling hands set up the cross of Christ: unwilling -- but they did it. Take you care! for sin is very merciless. If you have had the sweet, [sin] will see to it that you quaff the bitter to the very dregs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He thought as a sage, though he felt as a man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15536]]></link><description><![CDATA[He thought as a sage, though he felt as a man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The two most common things in the universe are hydrogen and human stupidity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9577]]></link><description><![CDATA[The two most common things in the universe are hydrogen and human stupidity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9577</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They (the special teams) did exactly what we asked them to do...we started out the game great, set the tempo ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32851]]></link><description><![CDATA[They (the special teams) did exactly what we asked them to do...we started out the game great, set the tempo and it was just real fun from then on.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32851</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take the first step in faith.

They say that it makes us so free that it cannot be the truth. To them it is like believing in fairyland to believe in such freedom as we enjoy. It is like believing in men with wings to entertain the fancy of men with wills. It is like accepting a fable about a squirrel in conversation with a mountain to believe in a man who is free to ask or a God who is free to answer. This is a manly and a rational negation, for which I for one shall always show respect. But I decline to show any respect for those who first of all clip the bird and cage the squirrel, rivet the chains and refuse the freedom, close all the doors of the cosmic prison on us with a clang of eternal iron, tell us that our emancipation is a dream and our dungeon a necessity; and then calmly turn round and tell us they have a freer thought and a more liberal theology.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In this respect, I have called before these attacks for halting these operations so that people will not believe the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36214]]></link><description><![CDATA[In this respect, I have called before these attacks for halting these operations so that people will not believe the attacks are aimed at preventing them from participating in the referendum.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36214</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Boast is always a cry of despair, except in the young it is a cry of hope ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4394]]></link><description><![CDATA[Boast is always a cry of despair, except in the young it is a cry of hope]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The laws that keep us safe, these same laws condemn us to boredom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24225]]></link><description><![CDATA[The laws that keep us safe, these same laws condemn us to boredom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24225</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/548]]></link><description><![CDATA[A superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm Jimmy Carter, and I'm going to be your next president. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48144]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm Jimmy Carter, and I'm going to be your next president.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48144</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our fathers used to say that the master's eye was the best fertilizer. [Lat., Majores fertilissium is agro oculum domini ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1961]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our fathers used to say that the master's eye was the best fertilizer. [Lat., Majores fertilissium is agro oculum domini esse dixerunt.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1961</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That a parliament, especially a Parliament with Newspaper Reporters firmly established in it, is an entity which by its very ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45546]]></link><description><![CDATA[That a parliament, especially a Parliament with Newspaper Reporters firmly established in it, is an entity which by its very nature cannot do work, but can do talk only]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45546</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It [the war in Vietnam] poisons everything.
