It is twice blest: It blesseth him that gives and him that takes. 'T is mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes The throned monarch better than his crown; His sceptre shows the force of temporal power, The attribute to awe and majesty, Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings; But mercy is above this sceptred sway, It is enthroned in the hearts of kings, It is an attribute to God himself; And earthly power doth then show likest God's, When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew, Though justice be thy plea, consider this, That in the course of justice none of us Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy; And that same prayer doth teach us all to render The deeds of mercy. -The Merchant of Venice. Act iv. Sc. 1.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No evil propensity of the human heart is so powerful that it may not be subdued by discipline. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12406]]></link><description><![CDATA[No evil propensity of the human heart is so powerful that it may not be subdued by discipline.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only good bureaucrat is one with a pistol at his head.
