We can experience the world through our senses. Or we can remove ourselves from our senses and experience the world even less directly. We can think about our life, rather than thinking in our life. We can think about what we think about our life, and we can think about what we think about that. We can shift perceptual positions many times over.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/935</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To go beyond the bounds of moderation is to outrage humanity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42879]]></link><description><![CDATA[To go beyond the bounds of moderation is to outrage humanity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most dangerous is that temptation that doth goad us on to sin in loving virtue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64940]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most dangerous is that temptation that doth goad us on to sin in loving virtue.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They are safe in their number and their close array. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50519]]></link><description><![CDATA[They are safe in their number and their close array.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes opportunity knocks, but most of the time it sneaks up and then quietly steals away. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52804]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes opportunity knocks, but most of the time it sneaks up and then quietly steals away.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're not missing in the traditional sense. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34696]]></link><description><![CDATA[They're not missing in the traditional sense.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34696</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was recently on a tour of Latin America, and the only regret I have was that I didn't study ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27957]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was recently on a tour of Latin America, and the only regret I have was that I didn't study Latin harder in school so I could converse with those people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27957</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We know that digging razor clams is a holiday tradition for a lot of families, and the tides cooperated this ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32516]]></link><description><![CDATA[We know that digging razor clams is a holiday tradition for a lot of families, and the tides cooperated this year.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I want to appreciate you without judging.

This is, of course, why many otherwise honest intellectual people will construct a neat by-pass around the claim of Jesus to be God. Being people of insight and imagination, they know perfectly well that once to accept such a claim as fact would mean a readjustment of their own purposes and values and affections which they may have no wish to make. To call Jesus the greatest Figure in History or the finest Moral Teacher the world has ever seen commits no one to anything. But once to allow the startled mind to accept as fact that this man is really focused-God may commit anyone to anything! There is every excuse for blundering in the dark, but in the light there is no cover from reality. It is because we strongly sense this, and not merely because we feel that the evidence is ancient and scanty, that we shrink from committing ourselves to such a far-reaching belief as that Jesus Christ was really God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7378</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There rose no day, there roll'd no hour Of pleasure unembitter'd;  And not a trapping deck'd my power,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48768]]></link><description><![CDATA[There rose no day, there roll'd no hour Of pleasure unembitter'd;  And not a trapping deck'd my power,   That gall'd not while it glitter'd.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And God made two great lights, great for their use To man, the greater to have rule by day,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3400]]></link><description><![CDATA[And God made two great lights, great for their use To man, the greater to have rule by day,  The less by night, altern.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one wants to quit when he's losing and no one wants to quit when he's winning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46182]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one wants to quit when he's losing and no one wants to quit when he's winning.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46182</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47870]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47870</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You must pay the price if you wish to secure the blessing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64828]]></link><description><![CDATA[You must pay the price if you wish to secure the blessing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sweet Spring, full of sweet dayes and roses, A box where sweets compacted lie,  My musick shows ye have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57795]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sweet Spring, full of sweet dayes and roses, A box where sweets compacted lie,  My musick shows ye have your closes,   And all must die.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the world were a logical place, men would ride side-saddle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27042]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the world were a logical place, men would ride side-saddle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27042</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let me embrace thee, sour adversity, For wise men say it is the wisest course. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/703]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let me embrace thee, sour adversity, For wise men say it is the wisest course.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/703</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If in other lands the press and books and literature of all kinds are censored, we must redouble our efforts ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5415]]></link><description><![CDATA[If in other lands the press and books and literature of all kinds are censored, we must redouble our efforts here to keep them free]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5415</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Revolutions have never lightened the burden of tyranny: they have only shifted it to another shoulder. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54148]]></link><description><![CDATA[Revolutions have never lightened the burden of tyranny: they have only shifted it to another shoulder.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I feel sorry for people who don't drink.
