And this often in all sincerity. But, at other times, we are not really much disturbed about it; or, at least, not nearly so much as our heaped-up language would imply. What we imagine that we are achieving through this unreality I do not know. We shall not fool the All-wise; nor induce Him to believe that we are anything other, or better, than we actually are! Were it not saner to tell Him the truth, exactly as it is -- not that we are overwhelmed with sorrow for our sinfulness, if it is not so; but rather this, that, to all our other sinfulness, we have added this last and crowning sinfulness, that we are not much worried about it, or, at least, not nearly as much as we ought to be. Be pleased, in pity, to grant us such measure of sorrow for our failures as will lead us to a true repentance; and, through that, to a new way of life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To know truly is to know by causes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52383]]></link><description><![CDATA[To know truly is to know by causes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52383</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What makes us discontented with our condition is the absurdly exaggerated idea we have of the happiness of others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9995]]></link><description><![CDATA[What makes us discontented with our condition is the absurdly exaggerated idea we have of the happiness of others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Astronomy compels the soul to look upwards and leads us from this world to another ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3393]]></link><description><![CDATA[Astronomy compels the soul to look upwards and leads us from this world to another]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3393</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patriotism is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8362]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patriotism is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8362</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Question your grace the late ambassadors, With what great state he heard their embassy,  How well supplied with noble ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12449]]></link><description><![CDATA[Question your grace the late ambassadors, With what great state he heard their embassy,  How well supplied with noble counsellors,   How modest in exception, and withal    How terrible in constant resolution,     And you shall find his vanities forespent      Were but the outside of the Roman Brutus,       Covering discretion with a coat of folly;        As gardeners do with ordure hide those roots         That shall first spring and be most delicate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once the ref blows his whistle, I yell out, 'That's a terrible call' and then I start booing with everybody ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42586]]></link><description><![CDATA[Once the ref blows his whistle, I yell out, 'That's a terrible call' and then I start booing with everybody else.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42586</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you were out in the middle of Nebraska, without the sixth-largest shopping center in the country at your doorstep, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36385]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you were out in the middle of Nebraska, without the sixth-largest shopping center in the country at your doorstep, you would be an incredibly attractive retail market to any tenant in the country.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36385</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is difficult for some people to accept that love is a choice.

With their jangling keys, nasty suits, revolting beards, moustaches and tinted spectacles, estate agents roam the land causing perturbation and despair. If you try and kill them, you're put in prison: if you try and talk to them, you vomit. There's only one thing worse than an estate agent but at least that can be safely lanced, drained and surgically dressed. Estate agents.
