He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him; or the old laws be expanded, and interpreted in his favour in a more liberal sense, and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings. In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness. If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12347</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Two of the cruelest, most primitive punishments our town deals out to those who fall from favor are the empty ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52573]]></link><description><![CDATA[Two of the cruelest, most primitive punishments our town deals out to those who fall from favor are the empty mailbox and the silent telephone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The natural law of inertia: Matter will remain at rest or continue in uniform motion in the same straight line ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22557]]></link><description><![CDATA[The natural law of inertia: Matter will remain at rest or continue in uniform motion in the same straight line unless acted upon by some external force.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most protean aspect of comedy is its potentiality for transcending itself, for responding to the conditions of tragedy by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8969]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most protean aspect of comedy is its potentiality for transcending itself, for responding to the conditions of tragedy by laughing in the darkness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8969</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men are only as loyal as their options. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44982]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men are only as loyal as their options.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44982</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It puts a price on the value of prairie dog habitat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38597]]></link><description><![CDATA[It puts a price on the value of prairie dog habitat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Boniface (Wynfrith) of Crediton, Archbishop of Mainz, Apostle of Germany, Martyr, 754  It is through dying to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6230]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Boniface (Wynfrith) of Crediton, Archbishop of Mainz, Apostle of Germany, Martyr, 754  It is through dying to concern for self that we are born to new life with God and others; in such dying and rebirth, we find that life is lent to be spent; and in such spending of what we are lent, we find there is an infinite supply.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The desire of businessmen for profits is what drives prices down unless forcibly prevented from engaging in price competition, usually ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15794]]></link><description><![CDATA[The desire of businessmen for profits is what drives prices down unless forcibly prevented from engaging in price competition, usually by governmental activity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15794</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest happiness of life it the conviction that we are loved -- loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2220]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest happiness of life it the conviction that we are loved -- loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2220</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God does not lead all His servants by one road, nor in one way, nor at one time; for God ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6348]]></link><description><![CDATA[God does not lead all His servants by one road, nor in one way, nor at one time; for God is in all things; and that man is not serving God aright, who can only serve Him in his own self-chosen way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6348</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As your faith is strengthened you will find that there is no longer the need to have a sense of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15001]]></link><description><![CDATA[As your faith is strengthened you will find that there is no longer the need to have a sense of control, that things will flow as they will, and that you will flow with them, to your great delight and benefit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Existence is a strange bargain.

Irving teaches me the lesson of cheerfulness, Hawthorne shows me the hatefulness of sin, Longfellow gives me the soft, tranquil music of hope. Lowell makes us feel that we must give ourselves to our fellow men. Whittier sings to me of divine Fatherhood and human brotherhood. These are Christian lessons: who inspired them? Who put it into the heart of Martin Luther to nail those theses on the church door of Wittenberg? Who stirred and fired the soul of Savonarola? Who thrilled and electrified the soul of John Wesley?
