Let us live while we live; let us be alive and doing; let us act on what we have, since we have not what we wish. Let us believe what we do not see and know. Let us forestall knowledge by faith. Let us maintain before we have demonstrated. This seeming paradox is the secret of happiness. Why should we be unwilling to go by faith? We do all things in this world by faith in the word of others. By faith only do we know our position in the world, our circumstances, our rights and privileges, our fortunes, our parents, our brothers and sisters, our age, our mortality. Why should Religion be an exception? Why should we be unwilling to use for heavenly objects what we daily use for earthly?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once in a while it really hits people that they don't have to experience the world in the way they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22304]]></link><description><![CDATA[Once in a while it really hits people that they don't have to experience the world in the way they have been told to.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22304</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happy he who far from business, like the primitive are of mortals, cultivates with his own oxen the fields of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1953]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happy he who far from business, like the primitive are of mortals, cultivates with his own oxen the fields of his fathers, free from all anxieties of gain. [Lat., Beatus ille qui procul negotiis,  Ut prisca gens mortalium,   Paterna rura bobus exercet suis,    Solutus omni faenore.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1953</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Was I deceiv'd, or did a sable cloud Turn forth her silver lining on the night? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8911]]></link><description><![CDATA[Was I deceiv'd, or did a sable cloud Turn forth her silver lining on the night?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8911</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chaos is a name for any order that produces confusion in our minds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5607]]></link><description><![CDATA[Chaos is a name for any order that produces confusion in our minds.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The graveyards are full of indispensable men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44046]]></link><description><![CDATA[The graveyards are full of indispensable men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas More, Scholar & Martyr, & John Fisher, Bishop & Martyr, 1535  Sorrow for sin and sorrow ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7637]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas More, Scholar & Martyr, & John Fisher, Bishop & Martyr, 1535  Sorrow for sin and sorrow for suffering are ofttimes so twisted and interwoven in the same person -- yea, in the same sigh and groan -- that sometimes it is impossible for the party himself so to separate and divide them in his own sense and feeling, as to know which proceeds from the one and which from the other.
