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[cslab9a /u/jcn/src/perl -> man sex No manual entry for sex. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57111]]></link><description><![CDATA[cslab9a /u/jcn/src/perl -> man sex No manual entry for sex.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57111</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whenever you have an efficient government you have a dictatorship. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27803]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whenever you have an efficient government you have a dictatorship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27803</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody can acquire honor by doing what is wrong ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19697]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nobody can acquire honor by doing what is wrong]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I realized my family was funny, because nobody ever wanted to leave our house. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29509]]></link><description><![CDATA[I realized my family was funny, because nobody ever wanted to leave our house.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Science when well digested is nothing but good sense and reason. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54836]]></link><description><![CDATA[Science when well digested is nothing but good sense and reason.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54836</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Purity of heart is to will one thing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52599]]></link><description><![CDATA[Purity of heart is to will one thing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The cheerful loser is the winner. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25596]]></link><description><![CDATA[The cheerful loser is the winner.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25596</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good intention clothes itself with sudden power. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43255]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good intention clothes itself with sudden power.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43255</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, you hate your job?

Whenever, by exertion in any unselfish cause, health is broken or fortune impaired, or influential friends estranged, the follower of Christ is called an enthusiast, a fanatic, or even more plainly a man of unsound mind. He may be comforted by remembering that Jesus was said to be beside Himself when teaching and healing left Him not leisure even to eat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7271</guid></item></channel></rss>
