One day others will come who will do the same things better. And some day he will have been completely forgotten--even if he should have built the pyramids or the St. Gotthard tunnel or invented atomic fission. And one thing is even more certain: whether the achievement of a man's life is great or small, significant or insignificant, he will one day stand before his eternal judge, and everything that he has done and performed will be no more than a mole hill, and then he will have nothing better to do than hope for something he has not earned: not for a crown, but quite simply for gracious judgment which he has not deserved. That is the only thing that will count then, achievement or not. "My kindness shall not depart from you." By this man lives. By this alone can he live.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those griefs burn most which gall in secret. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51201]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those griefs burn most which gall in secret.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If men were angels, no government would be necessary. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18065]]></link><description><![CDATA[If men were angels, no government would be necessary.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the wise erred not, it would goe hard with fooles. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49517]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the wise erred not, it would goe hard with fooles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love you, and because I love you, I would sooner have you hate me for telling you the truth ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24785]]></link><description><![CDATA[I love you, and because I love you, I would sooner have you hate me for telling you the truth than adore me for telling you lies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24785</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of John Keble, Priest, Poet, Tractarian, 1866   The early Hebrews learned at the foot of Mount Sinai ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6699]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of John Keble, Priest, Poet, Tractarian, 1866   The early Hebrews learned at the foot of Mount Sinai that in the sight of God there is indeed a difference between the sacred and the profane, but there is no difference between the spiritual and the social.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6699</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our index reveals that for many, convenience and time saving are priorities and they are willing to bear the cost ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33016]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our index reveals that for many, convenience and time saving are priorities and they are willing to bear the cost for the luxury of third party home help.

And this is as much to secure men from mistake in matters of belief as God hath afforded to keep men from sin in matters of practice. He hath made no effectual and infallible provision that men shall not sin; and yet it would puzzle any man to give a good reason why God should take more care to secure men against errors in belief than against sin and wickedness in their lives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Philosophy is the science which considers truth ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46482]]></link><description><![CDATA[Philosophy is the science which considers truth]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good listener tries to understand what the other person is saying.
