They know indeed that they are mortal, but they do not feel it. The truth rests in their understandings, and cannot gain admission into their hearts. This speculative persuasion is altogether different from that strong practical impression of the infinite importance of eternal things, which, attended with a proportionate sense of the shortness and uncertainty of all below, while it prompts to activity from a conviction that the night cometh when no man can work, produces a certain firmness of texture, which hardens us against the buffetings of fortune, and prevents our being very deeply penetrated by the cares and interests, the good or evil, of this transitory state.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nike is a marketing machine with a culture that has developed over 30-plus years, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42571]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nike is a marketing machine with a culture that has developed over 30-plus years,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee that makes a good warre makes a good peace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49471]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee that makes a good warre makes a good peace.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49471</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10596]]></link><description><![CDATA[Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10596</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Falseness often lurks beneath fair hair. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12537]]></link><description><![CDATA[Falseness often lurks beneath fair hair.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Her feet along the dewy hills Are lighter than blown thistledown;  She bears the glamour of one star  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59934]]></link><description><![CDATA[Her feet along the dewy hills Are lighter than blown thistledown;  She bears the glamour of one star   Upon her violet crown.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59934</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poor is the man whose pleasures depend on the permission of another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21080]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poor is the man whose pleasures depend on the permission of another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now we sit through Shakespeare in order to recognize the quotations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52821]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now we sit through Shakespeare in order to recognize the quotations.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each of these foregoing states has its time, its variety of workings, its trials, temptations, and purifications, which can only ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7316]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each of these foregoing states has its time, its variety of workings, its trials, temptations, and purifications, which can only be known by experience in the passage through them. The one only and infallible way to go safely through all the difficulties, trials, temptations, dryness, or opposition of our own evil tempers is this: It is to expect nothing from ourselves, to trust to nothing in ourselves, but in everything to expect and depend upon God for relief. Keep fast hold of this thread, and then let your way be what it will -- darkness, temptation, or the rebellion of nature -- you will be led through it all, to an union with God: for nothing hurts us in any state but an expectation of some thing in it and from it, which we should only expect from God.

Let us pray then with faith, and not lose the fruits of our prayers by a wavering uncertainty which, as St. James testifies, hinders the success of them. The same apostle advises us to pray when we are in trouble because thereby we should find consolation; yet we are so wretched that this heavenly employment is often a burden instead of a comfort to us. The lukewarmness of our prayers is the source of all our other infidelities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The great seal of truth is simplicity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2148]]></link><description><![CDATA[The great seal of truth is simplicity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54779]]></link><description><![CDATA[The good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are remembered for the rules you break. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63336]]></link><description><![CDATA[You are remembered for the rules you break.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were stepping out of the mosque and suddenly a big blast shook the ground, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36715]]></link><description><![CDATA[We were stepping out of the mosque and suddenly a big blast shook the ground,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Seduction is always more singular and sublime than sex and it commands the higher price ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55046]]></link><description><![CDATA[Seduction is always more singular and sublime than sex and it commands the higher price]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It (first game) could have been different, you never know. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41933]]></link><description><![CDATA[It (first game) could have been different, you never know.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41933</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I first noticed the trees, swaying in the wind, and then I saw, or maybe I heard, one being twisted ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35639]]></link><description><![CDATA[I first noticed the trees, swaying in the wind, and then I saw, or maybe I heard, one being twisted from its roots.
