God is merciful and kind; he bestows truth, as well as rain and sunshine, upon the just and the unjust. Christ is the "true light that enlightens every man". This bestowal should inspire feelings of joy, not resentment, in the heart of a Christian. Aristotle said many wise things about logic, Confucius many wise things about morals. When a Christian attacks general wisdom in the name of the gospel, the natural man will attack the gospel in the name of general wisdom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Either you think -- or else others have to think for you and take power from you, pervert and discipline ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1353]]></link><description><![CDATA[Either you think -- or else others have to think for you and take power from you, pervert and discipline your natural tastes, civilize and sterilize you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When rumours increase, and when there is an abundance of noise and clamour, believe the second report. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54568]]></link><description><![CDATA[When rumours increase, and when there is an abundance of noise and clamour, believe the second report.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a violence that liberates, and a violence that enslaves; there is a violence that is moral and a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60690]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a violence that liberates, and a violence that enslaves; there is a violence that is moral and a violence that is immoral.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60690</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing can add more power to your life than concentrating all your energies on a limited set of targets. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65582]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing can add more power to your life than concentrating all your energies on a limited set of targets.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65582</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It takes two to speak the truth - one to speak and another to hear. -Thoreau. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25213]]></link><description><![CDATA[It takes two to speak the truth - one to speak and another to hear. -Thoreau.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ah! on Thanksgiving day, when from East and from West, From North and South, come the pilgrim and guest,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58999]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ah! on Thanksgiving day, when from East and from West, From North and South, come the pilgrim and guest,  When the gray-haired New Englander sees round his board   The old broken links of affection restored,    When the care-wearied man seeks his mother once more,     And the worn matron smiles where the girl smiled before.      What moistens the lips and what brightens the eye?       What calls back the past, like the rich pumpkin pie?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58999</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas Aquinas, Priest, Teacher of the Faith, 1274  God usually answers our prayers so much more according ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7604]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas Aquinas, Priest, Teacher of the Faith, 1274  God usually answers our prayers so much more according to the measure of His own magnificence, than of our asking, that we do not recognize His benefits to be those for which we sought Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is perhaps no better way of measuring the natural endowment of a soul than by its ability to transmute ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47605]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is perhaps no better way of measuring the natural endowment of a soul than by its ability to transmute dissatisfaction into a creative impulse.

Hence a man's reaction to Monarchy is a kind of test. Monarchy can easily be "debunked"; but watch the faces, mark well the accents, of the debunkers. These are the men whose tap-root in Eden has been cut: whom no rumour of the polyphony, the dance, can reach -- men to whom pebbles laid in a row are more beautiful than an arch. Yet even if they desire mere equality, they cannot reach it. Where men are forbidden to honour a king, they honour millionaires, athletes, or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19944]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is foolish to tear one's hair in grief, as though sorrow would be made less with baldness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18598]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is foolish to tear one's hair in grief, as though sorrow would be made less with baldness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't know who set the schedule but it is negative for good results. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31808]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't know who set the schedule but it is negative for good results.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31808</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A prince, the moment he is crown'd, Inherits every virtue sound,  As emblems of the sovereign power,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54520]]></link><description><![CDATA[A prince, the moment he is crown'd, Inherits every virtue sound,  As emblems of the sovereign power,   Like other baubles in the Tower:    Is generous, valiant, just, and wise,     And so continues till he dies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm sure everyone looks at the standings at one time or another.
