You will see at once that this is an impossibility. From considering how the cruelty of our ancestors looks to us, you may get some inkling of how our softness, worldliness, and timidity would have looked to them, and hence how both must look to God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But that's another story. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57923]]></link><description><![CDATA[But that's another story.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57923</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As the Sandwich-Islander believes that the strength and valor of the enemy he kills passes into himself, so we gain ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58918]]></link><description><![CDATA[As the Sandwich-Islander believes that the strength and valor of the enemy he kills passes into himself, so we gain the strength of the temptations we resist.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58918</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whenever the pressure of our complex city life thins my blood and numbs my brain, I seek relief in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43984]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whenever the pressure of our complex city life thins my blood and numbs my brain, I seek relief in the trail; and when I hear the coyote wailing to the yellow dawn, my cares fall from me - I am happy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43984</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no more miserable human being than one in whom nothing is habitual but indecision. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20717]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no more miserable human being than one in whom nothing is habitual but indecision.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20717</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair; the rest is in the hands of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64386]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair; the rest is in the hands of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64386</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mythology: the body of a primitive people's beliefs, concerning its origin, early history, heroes, deitits and so forth, as distinguished ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19388]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mythology: the body of a primitive people's beliefs, concerning its origin, early history, heroes, deitits and so forth, as distinguished from the true accounts which it invents later.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19388</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Old Year has gone.
