For what a man had rather were true he more readily believes. Therefore he rejects difficult things from impatience of research; sober things, because they narrow hope; the deeper things of nature, from superstition; the light of experience, from arrogance and pride; things not commonly believed, out of deference to the opinion of the vulgar. Numberless in short are the ways, and sometimes imperceptible, in which the affections color and infect the understanding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let children walk with Nature, let them see the beautiful blendings and communions of death and life, their joyous inseparable ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11184]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let children walk with Nature, let them see the beautiful blendings and communions of death and life, their joyous inseparable unity, as taught in woods and meadows, plains and mountains and streams of our blessed star, and they will learn that death is stingless indeed, and as beautiful as life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11184</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cinnamon bites and kisses simultaneously. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58635]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cinnamon bites and kisses simultaneously.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58635</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The penalty of success is to be bored by the attentions of people who formerly snubbed you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58150]]></link><description><![CDATA[The penalty of success is to be bored by the attentions of people who formerly snubbed you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Violet! sweet violet! Thine eyes are full of tears;  Are they wet   Even yet    ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60715]]></link><description><![CDATA[Violet! sweet violet! Thine eyes are full of tears;  Are they wet   Even yet    With the thought of other years?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was a big wall coming at us.

Be daily, therefore, on your knees, in a solemn deliberate performance of this devotion, praying for others in such forms, with such length, importunity, and earnestness, as you use for yourself; and you will find all little, ill-natured passions die away, your heart grow great and generous, delighting in the common happiness of others, as you used only to delight in your own... It was this holy intercession that raised Christians to such a state of mutual love, as far exceeded all that had been praised and admired in human friendship. And when the same spirit of intercession is again in the world, when Christianity has the same power over the hearts of people that it then had, this holy friendship will be again in fashion, and Christians will be again the wonder of the world, for that exceeding love which they bear to one another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love at first sight?

Take that one phrase (surely the most daring that the mind of man ever conceived), "We are the heirs of God." That is what they felt about it, that not God Himself could have a fuller life than theirs, and that even He would share all that He had with them! Tremendous words that stagger through their sheer audacity! And yet, here we are, whispering about the steepness of the way, the soreness of the self-denial, the heaviness of the cross, whining and puling, giving to those outside the utterly grotesque impression that religion is a gloomy kind of thing, a dim, monastic twilight where we sit and shiver miserably, out of the sunshine that God made for us, and meant us to enjoy -- that it is all a doing that nobody would naturally choose, and refraining from what everyone would naturally take: a species of insurance money grudgingly doled out lest some worse thing come upon us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Are cats lazy?
