He accused him of being a nuisance to men by crowing in the nighttime and not permitting them to sleep. The Cock defended himself by saying that he did this for the benefit of men, that they might rise in time for their labors.

My poor friend Christopher Smart showed the disturbance of his mind, by falling upon his knees, and saying his prayers in the street, or in any other unusual place. Now although, rationally speaking, it is greater madness not to pray at all, than to pray as Smart did, I am afraid there are so many who do not pray, that their understanding is not called in question... I did not think he ought to be shut up. His infirmities were not noxious to society. He insisted on people praying with him; and I'd as lief pray with Kit Smart as any.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If it weren't for Sean, I don't think there would be a triathlon club.

He must cease to be George, Hans, Ivan or Tadao- a human atom with an existence bounded by birth and death. The most drastic way to achieve this end is by complete assimilation of the individual into a collective body. The fully assimilated individual does not see himself and others as human beings. When asked who he is, his automatic response is that he is a German, a Russian, a Japanese, a Christian, a Moslem, a member of a certain tribe or family. He has no purpose, worth and destiny apart from his collective body; and as long as that body lives he cannot really die.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2470]]></link><description><![CDATA[Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2470</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ability of writers to imagine what is not the self, to familiarize the strange and mystify the familiar, is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62405]]></link><description><![CDATA[The ability of writers to imagine what is not the self, to familiarize the strange and mystify the familiar, is the test of their power.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are no grotesques in nature; not anything framed to fill up empty cantons, and unnecessary spaces. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43791]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are no grotesques in nature; not anything framed to fill up empty cantons, and unnecessary spaces.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I tread in the footsteps of illustrious men . . . in receiving from the people the sacred trust confided ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14407]]></link><description><![CDATA[I tread in the footsteps of illustrious men . . . in receiving from the people the sacred trust confided to my illustrious predecessor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14407</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In science as in love, too much concentration on technique can often lead to impotence.

It comes from him in his Sonship in a double way, as man living to God and as God living with men. Belief in him and loyalty to his cause involve men in the double movement, from world to God and from God to world. Even when theologies fail to do justice to this fact, Christians living with Christ in their cultures are aware of it. For they are forever being challenged to abandon all things for the sake of God; and forever being sent back into the world to teach and practice all the things that have been commanded them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6446</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is always brave to say what everyone thinks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46351]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is always brave to say what everyone thinks.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't know if Jim was a major part of that or not.
