Unknown  Stop the mindless wishing that things would be different. Rather than wasting time and emotional and spiritual energy in explaining why we don't have what we want, we can start to pursue other ways to get it. •Greg Anderson   A man of the world must seem to be what he wishes to be thought. •Jean De La Bruyère   Wishes expand in direct proportion to the resources available for their gratification. •Robert Dato  A wish is a desire without an attempt. •Farmer Digest  Oh, the secret life of man and woman -- dreaming how much better we would be than we are if we were somebody else or even ourselves, and feeling that our estate has been unexploited to its fullest. •Zelda Fitzgerald  Men try to run life according to their wishes; life runs itself according to necessity. •Jean Toomer  Some people develop a wishbone where their backbone should be. •Anonymous  Indeed, man wishes to be happy even when he so lives as to make happiness impossible. •St. Augustine   When you love someone all your saved-up wishes start coming out. •Elizabeth Bowen   Whoever, in middle age, attempts to realize the wishes and hopes of his early youth, invariably deceives himself. Each ten years of a man's life has its own fortunes, its own hopes, its own desires. •Goethe   Destiny grants us our wishes, but in its own way, in order to give us something beyond our wishes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One mustn't make the Christian life into a punctilious system of law, like the Jewish, for two reasons.

Indeed, materials for a full biography have been withheld from men. The earliest converts were converted by a single historical fact (the Resurrection) and a single theological doctrine (the Redemption) operating on a sense of win which they already had... The "Gospels" came later and were written not to make Christians but to edify Christians already made.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["With this same key Shakespeare unlocked his heart," once more!  Did Shakespeare?

I need not now attempt to make precise these heresies, as they came to be called. It is necessary only to point out that in various ways all these heresies were simplifications. By means of them, the revelation of God to men was made -- or appeared to be made -- less scandalous. On the other hand, the various clauses of the Creed were not formulated as a new simplification, or as an alternative-ism. They were nothing more than emphatic statements of the Biblical scandal, statements which brought into sharp antagonism the new simplification and the old, Scriptural, many-sided, and vigorous truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who hath no head, needes no heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50097]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who hath no head, needes no heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50097</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A little labour, much health. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49048]]></link><description><![CDATA[A little labour, much health.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49048</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great men rejoice in adversity just as brave soldiers triumph in war. [Lat., Gaudent magni viri rebus adversis non aliter, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/698]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great men rejoice in adversity just as brave soldiers triumph in war. [Lat., Gaudent magni viri rebus adversis non aliter, quam fortes milites bellis.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/698</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How many pens are broken, how many ink bottles consumed, to write about things that have never happened. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19454]]></link><description><![CDATA[How many pens are broken, how many ink bottles consumed, to write about things that have never happened.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The distinctions separating the social classes are false; in the last analysis they rest on force. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8850]]></link><description><![CDATA[The distinctions separating the social classes are false; in the last analysis they rest on force.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They have to be told that they must begin destroying their stocks of chicken. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29303]]></link><description><![CDATA[They have to be told that they must begin destroying their stocks of chicken.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there.
