But the constraint of which I have been speaking is of a wholly different kind; it is a constraint to be pure-minded and loyal-hearted, to be kind and true and tender, and to love my neighbour as myself. And what could possibly be meant by saying that any reality of an impersonal kind could exercise over me such a constraint as that? I have never been able to see that it could mean anything at all. I have never been able to see how any being that is not a person could possess a moral and spiritual claim over me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some degree of novelty must be one of the materials in almost every instrument which works upon the mind; and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44688]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some degree of novelty must be one of the materials in almost every instrument which works upon the mind; and curiosity blends itself, more or less, with all our pleasures.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some things are good, some middling, more bad. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50631]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some things are good, some middling, more bad.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50631</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every kid has a dream of owning and driving a race car.

And this often in all sincerity. But, at other times, we are not really much disturbed about it; or, at least, not nearly so much as our heaped-up language would imply. What we imagine that we are achieving through this unreality I do not know. We shall not fool the All-wise; nor induce Him to believe that we are anything other, or better, than we actually are! Were it not saner to tell Him the truth, exactly as it is -- not that we are overwhelmed with sorrow for our sinfulness, if it is not so; but rather this, that, to all our other sinfulness, we have added this last and crowning sinfulness, that we are not much worried about it, or, at least, not nearly as much as we ought to be. Be pleased, in pity, to grant us such measure of sorrow for our failures as will lead us to a true repentance; and, through that, to a new way of life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What drove him to it, who pushed him to it, I don't know, ...
