If the dubious practices and moral compromises of every walk of life were dissected and made known with the glare of publicity which shines on the activities of politicians, then those who like to think that they can keep their hands clean would have very few professions to choose from.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7047</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have often thought what a melancholy world this would be without children, and what an inhuman world without the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26831]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have often thought what a melancholy world this would be without children, and what an inhuman world without the aged]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26831</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am hyper about not using numbers that exaggerate and inflame.

If we are whimpering, and sniveling, and begging to be spared the discipline of life that is sent to knock some smatterings of manhood into us, the answer to that prayer may never come at all. Thank God! Though, indeed, it is not easy to say that, with honesty. Still, it may never come at all, thank God. But if you have attained as far as Epictetus--pagan though you would call him--whose daily prayer was this: "O God, give me what Thou desirest for me, for I know that what Thou choosest for me is far better than I could choose"; if you are not bleating to get off, but asking to be given grace and strength to see this through with honour, "the very day" you pray that prayer, the answer always comes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Repentance follows hasty counsels. [Lat., Velox consilium sequitur poenitentia.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51652]]></link><description><![CDATA[Repentance follows hasty counsels. [Lat., Velox consilium sequitur poenitentia.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All soils are not fertile. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48826]]></link><description><![CDATA[All soils are not fertile.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The devil hath power To assume a pleasing shape. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51403]]></link><description><![CDATA[The devil hath power To assume a pleasing shape.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men must be governed by God or they will be ruled by tyrants. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18035]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men must be governed by God or they will be ruled by tyrants.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18035</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Buy at a faire, but sell at home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49167]]></link><description><![CDATA[Buy at a faire, but sell at home.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49167</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She hugged the offender, and forgave the offense, Sex to the last. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16502]]></link><description><![CDATA[She hugged the offender, and forgave the offense, Sex to the last.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas.

Imagine an industry that consistently fails to do what it sets out to do. a factory where this year's product is invariably sleazier than last year's but, nevertheless, better than next year's. Imagine a corporation whose executives are always spending vast sums of money on studies designed to discover just what it is they are supposed to do and then vaster sums for further studies on just how to do it. Imagine a plant devoted to the manufacture of factory seconds to be sold at a loss. Imagine a producer of vacuum cleaners that rarely work hiring whole platoons of engineers who will, in time, report that it is, in fact, true that the vacuum cleaners rarely really work, and who will, for a larger fee, be glad to find out why, if that's possible. If you discover some such outfit, don't invest in it. Unfortunately, we are all required to invest in public education.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't have anything against anyone personally.
