The cleansing sea flows over the whole lot. So we are released from a narrow, selfish outlook on the universe by a common act of worship. Our little human affairs are reduced to their proper proportion when seen over against the spaceless Majesty and Beauty of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's the good girls who keep diaries; the bad girls never have the time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17466]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's the good girls who keep diaries; the bad girls never have the time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17466</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that seeks popularity in art closes the door on his own genius: as he must needs paint for other ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45422]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that seeks popularity in art closes the door on his own genius: as he must needs paint for other minds, and not for his own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Weakness to be wroth with weakness! woman's pleasure, woman's pain-- Nature made them blinder motions bounded in a shallower brain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61342]]></link><description><![CDATA[Weakness to be wroth with weakness! woman's pleasure, woman's pain-- Nature made them blinder motions bounded in a shallower brain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Justice extorts no reward, no kind of price; she is sought, therefore, for her own sake. [Lat., Justitia nihil exprimit ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23648]]></link><description><![CDATA[Justice extorts no reward, no kind of price; she is sought, therefore, for her own sake. [Lat., Justitia nihil exprimit praemii, nihil pretii: per se igitur expetitur.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23648</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Religion is one dimension of culture, a transcendent element of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34985]]></link><description><![CDATA[Religion is one dimension of culture, a transcendent element of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The system of heroism depends on women to be weak so men can be strong. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63928]]></link><description><![CDATA[The system of heroism depends on women to be weak so men can be strong.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63928</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When it comes down to it, I let them think what they want.
