Some were mountainous; some lay in long, monotonous rows like, the basalt precipices hanging over desert canons. Such was the background of the wonderful, cruel, enchanting, bewildering, fatal, great city. But into this background were cut myriads of brilliant parallelograms and circles and squares through which glowed many colored lights. And out of the violet and purple depths ascended like the city's soul, sound and odors and thrills that make up the civic body. There arose the breath of gaiety unrestrained, of love, of hate, of all the passions that man can know. There below him lay all things, good or bad, that can be brought from the four corners of the earth to instruct, please, thrill, enrich, elevate, cast down, nurture or kill. Thus the flavor of it came up to him and went into his blood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In questions of this sort there are two things to be observed.

First, that the truth of the Scriptures be inviolably maintained. Secondly, since Scripture doth admit of diverse interpretations, that no one cling to any particular exposition with such pertinacity that, if what he supposed to be the teaching of Scripture should afterward turn out to be clearly false, he should nevertheless still presume to put it forward, lest thereby the sacred Scriptures should be exposed to the derision of unbelievers and the way of salvation should be closed to them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8474</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It just broke their backs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36077]]></link><description><![CDATA[It just broke their backs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36077</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A tough lesson to learn in life is that not everyone wishes you well. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24570]]></link><description><![CDATA[A tough lesson to learn in life is that not everyone wishes you well.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One death is a tragedy.

The Gospel is full of divine attempts to help and heal, in the body, mind and heart, individual men. The completed beauty of Christ's life is only the added beauty of little inconspicuous acts of beauty -- talking with the woman at the well; going far up into the North country to talk with the Syrophenician woman; showing the young ruler the stealthy ambition laid away in his heart, that kept him out of the kingdom of Heaven; shedding a tear at the grave of Lazarus; teaching a little knot of followers how to pray; preaching the Gospel one Sunday afternoon to two disciples going out to Emmaus; kindling a fire and broiling fish, that His disciples might have a breakfast waiting for them when they came ashore after a night of fishing, cold, tired, discouraged. All of these things, you see, let us in so easily into the real quality and tone of God's interests, so specific, so narrowed down, so enlisted in what is small, so engrossed in what is minute.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hang sorrow, care 'll kill a cat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57254]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hang sorrow, care 'll kill a cat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A great literature is chiefly the product of inquiring minds in revolt against the immovable certainties of the nation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25358]]></link><description><![CDATA[A great literature is chiefly the product of inquiring minds in revolt against the immovable certainties of the nation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People will not look forward to posterity, who never look backward to their ancestors ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47833]]></link><description><![CDATA[People will not look forward to posterity, who never look backward to their ancestors]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the weak soul, within itself unbless'd, Leans for all pleasure on another's breast. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61335]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the weak soul, within itself unbless'd, Leans for all pleasure on another's breast.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61335</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lying is like alcoholism.
