A friend, meeting him and learning what he wanted, said, If you would be cured, take a piece of bread, and dip it in the blood from your wound, and go and give it to the Dog that bit you. The Man who had been bitten laughed at this advice and said, Why?

I believe that humanity is master of its own fate... Before we can change direction, we have to question many of the assumptions underlying our current philosophy. Assumptions like bigger is better; you can't stop progress; no speed is too fast; globalization is good. Then we have to replace them with some different assumptions: small is beautiful; roots and traditions are worth preserving; variety is the spice of life; the only work worth doing is meaningful work; biodiversity is the necessary pre-condition for human survival.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shrine of the mighty! can it be, That this is all remains of thee? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5512]]></link><description><![CDATA[Shrine of the mighty! can it be, That this is all remains of thee?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5512</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is no disgrace to start all over.

But the first time I was behind the wheel of a fire truck, I was awestruck by the responsibility. Sure you can run a stoplight, but you have to make sure the intersection is clear before you do.

Pray!, you say scornfully, pray! I knew it would all fizzle out, and come to nothing. I could pray! Yes, you could pray, and, whatever you may think about it -- using it as a poor makeshift of a thing much lower than a second-best, not really a best at all, on which men fall back only when they can do nothing effectively, and are too fidgety to be able to do nothing at all -- Christ holds that prayer is a tremendous power which achieves what, without it, was a sheer impossibility. And this amazing thing you can set into operation. And the fact that you are not so using it, and simply don't believe in it and its efficiency and efficacy as our fathers did, and that so many nowadays agree with you, is certainly a major reason why the churches are so cold, and the promises seem so tardy of fulfillment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do you believe in immortality?

Its seers and prophets are not men of philosophic mind, who have risen from the seen to the unseen and, by dint of much reflection, have gradually attained to elevated conceptions of Him who is the Author of all that is. They are men of God whom God has chosen, that He might speak to them and, through them, to His people. Israel has not, in and by them, created for itself a God: God has, through them, created for Himself a people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Temper your enjoyments with prudence, lest there be written on your heart that fearful word "satiety.". ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13952]]></link><description><![CDATA[Temper your enjoyments with prudence, lest there be written on your heart that fearful word "satiety.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13952</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Under all speech that is good for anything three lies a silence that is better.

First, that He was a Sabbath-breaker. Secondly, that He was "a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners" -- or (to draw aside the veil of Elizabethan English that makes it sound so much more respectable) that He ate too heartily, drank too freely, and kept very disreputable company, including grafters of the lowest type and ladies who were no better than they should be. For nineteen and a half centuries, the Christian Churches have laboured, not without success, to remove this unfortunate impression made by their Lord and Master. They have hustled the Magdalens from the Communion-table, founded Total Abstinence Societies in the name of Him who made the water wine, and added improvements of their own, such as various bans and anathemas upon dancing and theatre-going. They have transferred the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, and, feeling that the original commandment "Thou shalt not work" was rather half-hearted, have added to it the new commandment, "Thou shalt not play.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This figure that thou here seest put, It was for gentle Shakespeare cut,  Wherein the graver had a strife ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55324]]></link><description><![CDATA[This figure that thou here seest put, It was for gentle Shakespeare cut,  Wherein the graver had a strife   With Nature, to outdo the life:    Oh, could he but have drawn his wit     As well in brass, as he has hit      His face, the print would then surpass       All that was ever writ in brass;        But since he cannot, reader, look         Not on his picture, but his book.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In Argentina in particular you have seen a pickup in volatility over the last couple of months, and it has ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34537]]></link><description><![CDATA[In Argentina in particular you have seen a pickup in volatility over the last couple of months, and it has to do with the fact that it has higher yields available and longer duration and makes it prone to volatility.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Practical prayer is harder on the soles of your shoes than on the knees of your trousers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53608]]></link><description><![CDATA[Practical prayer is harder on the soles of your shoes than on the knees of your trousers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Madness takes its toll.
