When summarized in a few neat words or phrases, these gems of wisdom become substitutes for thought, and gradually take on much of the status of revealed truth. Occasionally, some iconoclast sees fit to challenge one of them, and a brief flurry ensues, after which things go on about as before. It is easy to think of plenty of ideas that are passing, if they have not already passed, beyond the stage of effective discussion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52062</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wretches hang that jurymen may dine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24304]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wretches hang that jurymen may dine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24304</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not the punishment but the cause makes the martyr. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52575]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not the punishment but the cause makes the martyr.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['I do not understand this squeamishness about the use of gas.

The way to keep it in peace is to enter into it by means of inward silence. When you see yourself more sharply assaulted, retreat into that region of peace; and you will find a fortress that will enable you to triumph over all your enemies, visible and invisible, and over all their snares and temptations. Within your own soul resides divine aid, and sovereign succour. Retreat within it, and all will be quiet, secure, peaceable, and calm. Thus, by means of mental silence, which can only be attained with divine help, you may look for tranquility in tumult: for solitude in company; for light in darkness; for forgetfulness in pressures: for vigour in despondency; for courage in fear; for resistance in temptation; and for quiet in tribulation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wise man questions the wisdom of others because he questions his own, the foolish man, because it is different ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52781]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wise man questions the wisdom of others because he questions his own, the foolish man, because it is different from his own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52781</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most detestable race of enemies are flatterers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51670]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most detestable race of enemies are flatterers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was bearish on U.S. equities earlier this year but have now turned positive.
