A certain set of buildings, a glimpsed, smudged window-view across a schoolyard, a musty aroma sniffed behind a garage when you were a child, all of which come crowding in upon your latter-day senses -- those are pungent things and vivid, even consoling.

To Homer, the dawn was "rosy-fingered"; to Shakespeare, it was "in russet mantle clad"; to Housman, "the ship of sunrise burning". The scientist can explain exactly why the sky looks as it does in the early morning, the physiologist why we perceive as we do. Yet no one suggests that there is no dawn at all, or that its appearance has changed over the centuries, or that any one of these percipients was mad or deceitful. Why should our knowledge of the Creator be less capable of variety and development than our knowledge of any aspect of Creation?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6294</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Originality is nothing but judicious imitation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45306]]></link><description><![CDATA[Originality is nothing but judicious imitation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of all nature's gifts to the human race, what is sweeter to a man than his children? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43712]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of all nature's gifts to the human race, what is sweeter to a man than his children?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43712</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We want to emphasize that a large earthquake such as 1906 is not just a San Francisco quake, but a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30386]]></link><description><![CDATA[We want to emphasize that a large earthquake such as 1906 is not just a San Francisco quake, but a Northern California earthquake.

You will not stroll into Christlikeness with your hands in your pockets, shoving the door open with a careless shoulder. This is no hobby for one's leisure moments, taken up at intervals when we have nothing much to do, and put down and forgotten when our life grows full and interesting... It takes all one's strength, and all one's heart, and all one's mind, and all one's soul, given freely and recklessly and without restraint. This is a business for adventurous spirits; others would shrink out of it. And so Christ had a way of pulling up would-be recruits with sobering and disconcerting questions, of meeting applicants -- breathless and panting in their eagerness -- by asking them if they really thought they had the grit, the stamina, the gallantry, required. For many, He explained, begin, but quickly become cowed, and slink away, leaving a thing unfinished as a pathetic monument of their own lack of courage and of staying power.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For now the field is not far off Where we must give the world a proof  Of deeds, not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11672]]></link><description><![CDATA[For now the field is not far off Where we must give the world a proof  Of deeds, not words.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By finishing out strong, we know that we have a good chance next season.
