That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then - to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn." Ropo Oguntimehin Education is a companion which no future can depress, no crime can destroy, no enemy can alienate it and no nepotism can enslave. -T.H. White.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cultures contain many cues and inducements to dissuade the individual from approaching ultimate limits, in much the same way that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56821]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cultures contain many cues and inducements to dissuade the individual from approaching ultimate limits, in much the same way that a special warning strip of land around the edge of a baseball field lets a player know that he is about to run into a concrete wall when he is preoccupied with catching the ball. The wider that strip of land and the more sensitive the player is to the changing composition of the ground under his feet as he pursues the ball, the more effective the warning. Romanticizing or lionizing as "individualistic" those people who disregard social cues and inducements increases the danger of head-on collisions with inherent social limits. Decrying various forms of social disapproval is in effect narrowing the warning strip.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Promising is the eve of giving. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49722]]></link><description><![CDATA[Promising is the eve of giving.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49722</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20884]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance - that principle is contempt prior to investigation]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good rest is half the work. -Yugoslav Proverb. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1037]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good rest is half the work. -Yugoslav Proverb.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1037</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A billion here and a billion there, and soon you're talking about real money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47011]]></link><description><![CDATA[A billion here and a billion there, and soon you're talking about real money.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47011</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The true test of civilization is, not the census, nor the size of the cities, nor the crops, but the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8836]]></link><description><![CDATA[The true test of civilization is, not the census, nor the size of the cities, nor the crops, but the kind of man that the country ;turns out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8836</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Resolved: never to do anything which I should be afraid to do if it were the last hour of my ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5648]]></link><description><![CDATA[Resolved: never to do anything which I should be afraid to do if it were the last hour of my life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5648</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[RECREATION, n.

For you must be well aware that if we make an outward show of conversion to God without giving Him our hearts, it is only a shadow and pretence of virtue, and no true conversion. Any man or woman who neglects to maintain inward vigilance, and only makes an outward show of holiness in dress, speech, and behavior, is a wretched creature. For they watch the doings of other people and criticize their faults, imagining themselves to be something when in reality they are nothing. In this way they deceive themselves. Be careful to avoid this, and devote yourself inwardly to His likeness by humility, charity, and other spiritual virtues. In this way you will be truly converted to God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6561</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anthropology provides a scientific basis for dealing with the crucial dilemma of the world today: how can peoples of different ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27688]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anthropology provides a scientific basis for dealing with the crucial dilemma of the world today: how can peoples of different appearance, mutually unintelligible languages, and dissimilar ways of life get along peaceably together?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jewelled coryphee With quivering wings like shielding gauze outspread. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20044]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jewelled coryphee With quivering wings like shielding gauze outspread.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20044</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who loveth God with all his heart feareth not death, nor punishment, nor judgment, nor hell, because perfect love ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7764]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who loveth God with all his heart feareth not death, nor punishment, nor judgment, nor hell, because perfect love giveth sure access to God.

If our practical life is centered on our own interests, cluttered up by possessions, distracted by ambitions, passions, wants and worries, beset by a sense of our own rights and importance, or anxieties for our own future, or longings for our own success, we need not expect that our spiritual life will be a contrast to all this. The soul's house is not built on such a convenient plan; there are few soundproof partitions in it. Only when the conviction -- not merely the idea -- that the demand of the Spirit, however inconvenient, rules the whole of it, will those objectionable noises die down which have a way of penetrating into the nicely furnished little oratory and drowning all the quieter voices by their din.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I haven't gone to college yet and I intend to in a few years. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41256]]></link><description><![CDATA[I haven't gone to college yet and I intend to in a few years.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no justification for present existence other than its expansion into an indefinitely open future. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23674]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no justification for present existence other than its expansion into an indefinitely open future.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thus the whirligig of time Brings in his revenges. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51531]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thus the whirligig of time Brings in his revenges.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The waters wear the stones: thou washeth away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46157]]></link><description><![CDATA[The waters wear the stones: thou washeth away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[CD is going to be with the organization for a long time.
