Be sure that we likewise need the forgiveness of those that are under us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Real life is, to most men, a long second-best, a perpetual compromise between the ideal and the possible but the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9295]]></link><description><![CDATA[Real life is, to most men, a long second-best, a perpetual compromise between the ideal and the possible but the world of pure reason knows no compromise, no practical limitations, no barrier to the creative activity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9295</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent.

And as man cannot bear to be without the miraculous, he will create new miracles of his own for himself, and will worship deeds of sorcery and witchcraft, though he might be a hundred times over a rebel, heretic and infidel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60304</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who know don't tell and those who tell don't know. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22076]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who know don't tell and those who tell don't know.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22076</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Prussian Sovereigns are in possession of a crown not be the grace of the people, but by God's grace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54447]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Prussian Sovereigns are in possession of a crown not be the grace of the people, but by God's grace.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sorrow preys upon Its solitude, and nothing more diverts it  From its sad visions of the other world  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57239]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sorrow preys upon Its solitude, and nothing more diverts it  From its sad visions of the other world   Than calling it at moments back to this.    The busy have no time for tears.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57239</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These recommendations are another part of the charitable sector?s commitment to come together and ensure that its organizations meet the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33562]]></link><description><![CDATA[These recommendations are another part of the charitable sector?s commitment to come together and ensure that its organizations meet the highest possible ethical standards.
