The stroke that came transmitted through a whole galaxy of elastic balls, was it less a stroke than if the last ball only had been struck, and sent flying? Oh, could I transport thee direct from the Beginnings to the Endings, how were thy eyesight unsealed, and thy heart set flaming in the Light-sea of celestial wonder! Then sawest thou that this fair Universe, were it in the meanest province thereof, is in very deed the star-domed City of God; that through every star, through every grass-blade, and most through every Living Soul, the glory of a present God still beams. But Nature, which is the Time-vesture of God and reveals Him to the wise, hides Him from the foolish.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8320</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Believe nothing and be on your guard against everything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44653]]></link><description><![CDATA[Believe nothing and be on your guard against everything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would rather attempt something great and fail than attempt to donothing and succeed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21625]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would rather attempt something great and fail than attempt to donothing and succeed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21625</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I speak of the gifted listener, I am thinking of the nonmusician primarily, of the listener who intends to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43512]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I speak of the gifted listener, I am thinking of the nonmusician primarily, of the listener who intends to retain his amateur status.

Just as the degree to which, in daily life, I feel the emotion of fear has very little to do with my rational judgment of the danger. I'd sooner have really nasty seas when I'm in an open boat than look down in perfect (actual) safety from the edge of a cliff. Similarly, I have confessed ghastly uncharities with less reluctance than small unmentionables -- or those sins which happen to be ungentlemanly as well as unchristian. Our emotional reactions to our own behaviour are of limited ethical significance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's no fool like an old fool -- you can't beat experience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27810]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's no fool like an old fool -- you can't beat experience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[June and July we were looking at terrible crops, and then I think we benefited from hurricane rains and had ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38091]]></link><description><![CDATA[June and July we were looking at terrible crops, and then I think we benefited from hurricane rains and had a better crop than we thought, which dropped the prices.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The connection between conscious and unconscious poses particular problems in the dancer because the body is the soul of action. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60038]]></link><description><![CDATA[The connection between conscious and unconscious poses particular problems in the dancer because the body is the soul of action.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60038</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The whole family is packed into one trap. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50509]]></link><description><![CDATA[The whole family is packed into one trap.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's still some room to grow with their product lines.
