It requires troublesome work to undertake the alternation of old beliefs. Self-conceit often regards it as a sign of weakness to admit that a belief to which we have once committed ourselves is wrong. We get so identified with an idea that it is literally a "pet" notion and we rise to its defense and stop our eyes and ears to anything different.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22023</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The statute itself is so overly restrictive, he's being denied due process. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39133]]></link><description><![CDATA[The statute itself is so overly restrictive, he's being denied due process.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39133</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So near is falsehood to truth that a wise man would do well not to trust himself on the narrow ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26116]]></link><description><![CDATA[So near is falsehood to truth that a wise man would do well not to trust himself on the narrow edge. [Lat., Ita enim finitima sunt falsa veris ut in praecipitem locum non debeat se sapiens committere.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Live as you would have wished to live when you are dying ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11441]]></link><description><![CDATA[Live as you would have wished to live when you are dying]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Idealism is fine, but as it approaches reality, the costs become prohibitive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20253]]></link><description><![CDATA[Idealism is fine, but as it approaches reality, the costs become prohibitive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20253</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The force of truth that a statement imparts, then, its prominence among the hordes of recorded observations that I may ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2131]]></link><description><![CDATA[The force of truth that a statement imparts, then, its prominence among the hordes of recorded observations that I may optionally apply to my own life, depends, in addition to the sense that it is argumentatively defensible, on the sense that someone like me, and someone I like, whose voice is audible and who is at least notionally in the same room with me, does or can possibly hold it to be compellingly true.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An ungrateful man is like a hog under a tree eating acorns, but never looking up to see where they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20886]]></link><description><![CDATA[An ungrateful man is like a hog under a tree eating acorns, but never looking up to see where they come from]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20886</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sharks have been swimming the oceans unchallenged for thousands of years; chances are, the species that roams corporate waters will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43868]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sharks have been swimming the oceans unchallenged for thousands of years; chances are, the species that roams corporate waters will prove just as hardy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47503]]></link><description><![CDATA[Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule--and both commonly succeed, and are right.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everybody has to feel good about the input that has gone into this, ...

The Ass was left in a stable and had plenty of oats and hay to eat, just as any other Ass would. The Lapdog knew many tricks and was a great favorite with his master, who often fondled him and seldom went out to dine without bringing him home some tidbit to eat. The Ass, on the contrary, had much work to do in grinding the corn-mill and in carrying wood from the forest or burdens from the farm. He often lamented his own hard fate and contrasted it with the luxury and idleness of the Lapdog, till at last one day he broke his cords and halter, and galloped into his master's house, kicking up his heels without measure, and frisking and fawning as well as he could. He next tried to jump about his master as he had seen the Lapdog do, but he broke the table and smashed all the dishes upon it to atoms. He then attempted to lick his master, and jumped upon his back. The servants, hearing the strange hubbub and perceiving the danger of their master, quickly relieved him, and drove out the Ass to his stable with kicks and clubs and cuffs. The Ass, as he returned to his stall beaten nearly to death, thus lamented: I have brought it all on myself! Why could I not have been contented to labor with my companions, and not wish to be idle all the day like that useless little Lapdog!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1545</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are no accidents without intentions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/309]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are no accidents without intentions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man who lives only by hope will die with despair. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12037]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man who lives only by hope will die with despair.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12037</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Steroids are bad for sports, bad for players, bad for the young people who hold athletes up as role models. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38743]]></link><description><![CDATA[Steroids are bad for sports, bad for players, bad for the young people who hold athletes up as role models.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38743</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To complain of lack of leadership is, in the field of political affairs, the characteristic attitude of all harbingers of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47204]]></link><description><![CDATA[To complain of lack of leadership is, in the field of political affairs, the characteristic attitude of all harbingers of dictatorship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47204</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We got our composure back.
