Growth in goodness does not, therefore, necessarily imply increased happiness, on the contrary, it may mean greater unhappiness. And his unhappiness increasing in proportion to the elevation of his ethical standards, a man's end is either Buddha or suicide if he knows no God; while if he knows God, it is despair or that conversion which, having sobbed away its tears on the Father's breast, thence derives ever new strength to fight the battle of life, sure of the final victory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6671</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a little truth in all jive, and a little jive in all truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2146]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's a little truth in all jive, and a little jive in all truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2146</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Arrestment, sudden really as a bolt out of the blue has hit strange victims. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56511]]></link><description><![CDATA[Arrestment, sudden really as a bolt out of the blue has hit strange victims.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In things pertaining to enthusiasm, no man is sane who does not know how to be insane on proper occasions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13968]]></link><description><![CDATA[In things pertaining to enthusiasm, no man is sane who does not know how to be insane on proper occasions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13968</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Goatherd and the Wild GoatsA goatherd, driving his flock from their pasture at eventide, found some Wild Goats mingled ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1562]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Goatherd and the Wild GoatsA goatherd, driving his flock from their pasture at eventide, found some Wild Goats mingled among them, and shut them up together with his own for the night. The next day it snowed very hard, so that he could not take the herd to their usual feeding places, but was obliged to keep them in the fold. He gave his own goats just sufficient food to keep them alive, but fed the strangers more abundantly in the hope of enticing them to stay with him and of making them his own. When the thaw set in, he led them all out to feed, and the Wild Goats scampered away as fast as they could to the mountains. The Goatherd scolded them for their ingratitude in leaving him, when during the storm he had taken more care of them than of his own herd. One of them, turning about, said to him: That is the very reason why we are so cautious; for if you yesterday treated us better than the Goats you have had so long, it is plain also that if others came after us, you would in the same manner prefer them to ourselves. Old friends cannot with impunity be sacrificed for new ones.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1562</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only the dreamer shall understand realities, though in truth his dreaming must be not out of proportion to his waking. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62836]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only the dreamer shall understand realities, though in truth his dreaming must be not out of proportion to his waking.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62836</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're talking about twenty-something years of professional ball.
