For even they are sure that to live for nothing higher than oneself is to lose life; that life, to be called life, can be found only in serving something bigger than one's personal interests; something that crowds these out of mind and heart, till one forgets about them and lives wholly, and without exception, for that other, worthier thing... It is long since Aristotle told us that only barbarians have as their ideal the wish to live as they please, and to do what they like. And the New Testament gravely sets us down before the Cross, and bids us gaze, and still gaze, and keep gazing, till the fact has soaked itself into our minds that that, not less than that, is now the standard set us, and that whatever in our lives clashes with that is sin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath.

Not fiends incarnate, but plain flesh and blood like us; quite ordinary men, decent and kindly souls enough, some of whom, no doubt, went to their homes that day from Calvary and took their children on their knees and loved them very genuinely. Only, they were a bit old fashioned in the make-up of their minds, had grown stiff and inelastic in their thinking, inhospitable to new notions -- surely a very minor sin at worst -- and some feared for their vested interests; and one, poor Pilate, had lost his temper with these impossible Jews in days gone by, and had received a curt warning from Rome that there must be no further bloodshed in Jerusalem, and here was a new trouble at the very worst of times in the whole year, with fanatics in tens of thousands come up for the Feast; and one wanted to save the world by quick-running machinery, and so put Christ into a situation where He could no longer dilly-dally but must do something vivid, dramatic, revolutionary. And the people? No need for us to bother being there at the decision between Jesus and Barabbas. We had the lined streets cheering for Him yesterday. And we have relatives to see, and messages from neighbours to deliver to their kindred. He will be all right; we needn't worry to be there. Such simple and plebian sins -- minds grown a trifle out of date, a little selfishness, some temper and its consequences, a bit of worldly wisdom, and an indifference that did nothing at all -- these brought about the shame of mankind, and the tragedy of history, and the blot upon our annals that will not rub out. And they are all of them within your heart and mine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7929</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And Modesty, who, when she goes, Is gone for ever. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50543]]></link><description><![CDATA[And Modesty, who, when she goes, Is gone for ever.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50543</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hearing ear is always found close to the speaking tongue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25207]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hearing ear is always found close to the speaking tongue.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66789]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66789</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History teaches us that men and nations behave wisely once they have exhausted all other alternatives. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65648]]></link><description><![CDATA[History teaches us that men and nations behave wisely once they have exhausted all other alternatives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65648</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is apparently no surer way of turning a thing into its opposite than by exaggerating it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56865]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is apparently no surer way of turning a thing into its opposite than by exaggerating it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56865</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The quality of life is determined by its activities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52638]]></link><description><![CDATA[The quality of life is determined by its activities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52638</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All truly great thoughts are conceived by walking. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22711]]></link><description><![CDATA[All truly great thoughts are conceived by walking.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I always tried to turn every disaster into an opportunity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45054]]></link><description><![CDATA[I always tried to turn every disaster into an opportunity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45054</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People will see what they want. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29226]]></link><description><![CDATA[People will see what they want.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29226</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leadership is practiced not so much in words as in attitude and in actions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3454]]></link><description><![CDATA[Leadership is practiced not so much in words as in attitude and in actions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money can't buy you happiness but it does bring you a more pleasant form of misery. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42753]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money can't buy you happiness but it does bring you a more pleasant form of misery.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42753</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men are disturbed not by things, but by the view which they take of them. -Epictetus. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46065]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men are disturbed not by things, but by the view which they take of them. -Epictetus.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can never lose anything that really belongs to you, and you can't keep that which belongs to someone else. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64541]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can never lose anything that really belongs to you, and you can't keep that which belongs to someone else.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My grandmother was a maid and baby sitter, ...
