They know indeed that they are mortal, but they do not feel it. The truth rests in their understandings, and cannot gain admission into their hearts. This speculative persuasion is altogether different from that strong practical impression of the infinite importance of eternal things, which, attended with a proportionate sense of the shortness and uncertainty of all below, while it prompts to activity from a conviction that the night cometh when no man can work, produces a certain firmness of texture, which hardens us against the buffetings of fortune, and prevents our being very deeply penetrated by the cares and interests, the good or evil, of this transitory state.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think we have to keep the proper perspective on high school sports.

One of his workmen observed his frequent visits to the spot and decided to watch his movements. He soon discovered the secret of the hidden treasure, and digging down, came to the lump of gold, and stole it. The Miser, on his next visit, found the hole empty and began to tear his hair and to make loud lamentations. A neighbor, seeing him overcome with grief and learning the cause, said, Pray do not grieve so; but go and take a stone, and place it in the hole, and fancy that the gold is still lying there. It will do you quite the same service; for when the gold was there, you had it not, as you did not make the slightest use of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are only young once, but you can stay immature indefinitely. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28049]]></link><description><![CDATA[You are only young once, but you can stay immature indefinitely.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28049</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Master, master, old news!

The way to keep it in peace is to enter into it by means of inward silence. When you see yourself more sharply assaulted, retreat into that region of peace; and you will find a fortress that will enable you to triumph over all your enemies, visible and invisible, and over all their snares and temptations. Within your own soul resides divine aid, and sovereign succour. Retreat within it, and all will be quiet, secure, peaceable, and calm. Thus, by means of mental silence, which can only be attained with divine help, you may look for tranquility in tumult: for solitude in company; for light in darkness; for forgetfulness in pressures: for vigour in despondency; for courage in fear; for resistance in temptation; and for quiet in tribulation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where there is much light, the shadows are deepest. [Ger., Wo viel Licht is, ist starker Schatten.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25054]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where there is much light, the shadows are deepest. [Ger., Wo viel Licht is, ist starker Schatten.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25054</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I applaud (NWA Head Start).
