He desires his transcript to be faithful to the meaning of the original, so far as he can reach that meaning, and also to do some justice to its literary qualities. But he is well aware that his aim often exceeds his grasp. Translation may be a fascinating task, yet no discipline is more humbling. You may be translating oracles, but soon you learn the risk and folly of posing as an oracle yourself. If your readers are dissatisfied at any point, they may be sure that the translator is still more dissatisfied, if not there, then elsewhere -- all the more so, because, in the nature of the case, he has always to appear dogmatic in print.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is an excellent deal for us because Pedro gives us more options in midfield and brings with him experience ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35076]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is an excellent deal for us because Pedro gives us more options in midfield and brings with him experience in European competition.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35076</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shyness has a strange element of narcissism, a belief that how we look, how we perform, is truly important to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56224]]></link><description><![CDATA[Shyness has a strange element of narcissism, a belief that how we look, how we perform, is truly important to other people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those true eyes Too pure and too honest in aught to disguise The sweet soul shining through them ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14811]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those true eyes Too pure and too honest in aught to disguise The sweet soul shining through them]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14811</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am a simple Buddhist monk. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4962]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am a simple Buddhist monk.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some decent regulated pre-eminence, some preference (not exclusive appropriation) given to birth, is neither unnatural, nor unjust, nor impolite. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2483]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some decent regulated pre-eminence, some preference (not exclusive appropriation) given to birth, is neither unnatural, nor unjust, nor impolite.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2483</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As an example of the cooperation existing among the governments, the idea is also to establish and intensify cooperation between ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42604]]></link><description><![CDATA[As an example of the cooperation existing among the governments, the idea is also to establish and intensify cooperation between chambers of commerce in both regions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be truly selfish one needs a degree of self-esteem.
