He desires his transcript to be faithful to the meaning of the original, so far as he can reach that meaning, and also to do some justice to its literary qualities. But he is well aware that his aim often exceeds his grasp. Translation may be a fascinating task, yet no discipline is more humbling. You may be translating oracles, but soon you learn the risk and folly of posing as an oracle yourself. If your readers are dissatisfied at any point, they may be sure that the translator is still more dissatisfied, if not there, then elsewhere -- all the more so, because, in the nature of the case, he has always to appear dogmatic in print.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of a rich man who was mean and niggardly, he said, "That man does not possess his estate, but his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47761]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of a rich man who was mean and niggardly, he said, "That man does not possess his estate, but his estate possesses him."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47761</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A journey is best measured in friends rather than miles ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23372]]></link><description><![CDATA[A journey is best measured in friends rather than miles]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Science and art belong to the whole world, and before them vanish the barriers of nationality ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54784]]></link><description><![CDATA[Science and art belong to the whole world, and before them vanish the barriers of nationality]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54784</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are to admit no more causes of natural things than such as are both true and sufficient to explain ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64039]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are to admit no more causes of natural things than such as are both true and sufficient to explain their appearances.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64039</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The revolutions of thought which shape the basic outlook of an age are not disseminated through text-books- they spread like ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52088]]></link><description><![CDATA[The revolutions of thought which shape the basic outlook of an age are not disseminated through text-books- they spread like epidemics, through contamination by invisible agents and innocent germ carriers, by the most varied forms of contact, or simply by breathing the common air.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52088</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We do what we must, and call it by the best names. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44083]]></link><description><![CDATA[We do what we must, and call it by the best names.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44083</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This aircraft signifies many rescues.

But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52421]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man's friendships are one of the best measures of his worth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At the age of 20, we don't care what the world thinks of us; at 30, we worry about what ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62923]]></link><description><![CDATA[At the age of 20, we don't care what the world thinks of us; at 30, we worry about what it is thinking of us; at 40, we discover that it wasn't thinking of us at all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62923</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But truths on which depends our main concern, That 'tis our shame and misery not to learn,  Shine by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53005]]></link><description><![CDATA[But truths on which depends our main concern, That 'tis our shame and misery not to learn,  Shine by the side of every path we tread   With such a lustre he that runs may read.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53005</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are new words now that excuse everybody.

They can't, He said, or they could not live as they are doing. Some of them are so anxious and worried, with all God's care and strength and love to lean against! They cannot know of it, and be so fidgety and nervous as they are. Some of them are afraid. Their consciences have drawn so grim a picture of Him that fearfully they shrink out of His presence, wish there were not God! Frightened of God, with His free and full and eager forgiveness, with His incredible generosity, with His compassionate heart that nobody can sour into illwill, do what he may. And even the best of them are not quite sure. Their faith at most is but a timorous hope, and a trembling perhaps; no more. Often in the Synagogue He had watched them sobbing out their penitential psalms and begging God to turn from anger and be gracious toward them... And it amazed Christ. Look at His sun, He cries, how it streams down in all its midday fullness on the most unworthy, and at the rain, how it falls healingly upon the fields of the least grateful, and how He keeps thrusting His benefits and blessings into the most soiled hands, loading the most impossible people with His kindnesses. If only I could make them see God as He really is: if only they could realize that He is their Father, that what their own child is to them, that, and far more, each of them is to Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men are more accountable for their motives, than for anything else; and primarily, morality consists in the motives, that is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22026]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men are more accountable for their motives, than for anything else; and primarily, morality consists in the motives, that is in the affections.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22026</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A crafty knave needs no broker. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10661]]></link><description><![CDATA[A crafty knave needs no broker.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Joy is increased by spreading it to others ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23391]]></link><description><![CDATA[Joy is increased by spreading it to others]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Failure is a disappointment but not defeat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12370]]></link><description><![CDATA[Failure is a disappointment but not defeat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12370</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who has surrendered himself to it knows that the Way ends on the Cross -- even when it is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8282]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who has surrendered himself to it knows that the Way ends on the Cross -- even when it is leading him through the jubilation of Gennesaret or the triumphal entry into Jerusalem.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8282</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to this folly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48667]]></link><description><![CDATA[As dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to this folly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48667</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's some are fou o' love divine, There's some are fou' o' brandy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12993]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's some are fou o' love divine, There's some are fou' o' brandy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12993</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A fool always finds a greater fool to admire him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/628]]></link><description><![CDATA[A fool always finds a greater fool to admire him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/628</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only the curious will learn and only the resolute overcome theobstacles to learning.
