Now, mind you, that is quite true; but it tells you much less than the whole truth about Christianity, and it has no practical importance at all. It is quite true that, if we took Christ's advice, we should soon be living in a happier world. You need not even go as far as Christ. If we did all that... Confucius told us, we should get on a great deal better than we do. And so what?... If Christianity only means one more bit of good advice, then Christianity is of no importance. There has been no lack of good advice for the last four thousand years. A bit more makes no difference.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Maxims are the condensed good sense of nations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26601]]></link><description><![CDATA[Maxims are the condensed good sense of nations.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I must go in, the fog is rising. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15241]]></link><description><![CDATA[I must go in, the fog is rising.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An ill labourer quarrells with his tooles. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49123]]></link><description><![CDATA[An ill labourer quarrells with his tooles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49123</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let no one be willing to speak ill of the absent. [Lat., Absenti nemo ne nocuisse velit.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/155]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let no one be willing to speak ill of the absent. [Lat., Absenti nemo ne nocuisse velit.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/155</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A pessimist is one who feels bad when he feels good for fear he'll feel worse when he feels better. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46422]]></link><description><![CDATA[A pessimist is one who feels bad when he feels good for fear he'll feel worse when he feels better.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Diamond cuts diamond. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50976]]></link><description><![CDATA[Diamond cuts diamond.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We clamor for equality chiefly in matters in which we ourselves cannot hope to attain excellence.
