Remote from universal nature, and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In peace the sons bury their fathers, but in war the fathers bury their sons. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27178]]></link><description><![CDATA[In peace the sons bury their fathers, but in war the fathers bury their sons.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27178</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It will be a challenge; he's very versatile.

To Homer, the dawn was "rosy-fingered"; to Shakespeare, it was "in russet mantle clad"; to Housman, "the ship of sunrise burning". The scientist can explain exactly why the sky looks as it does in the early morning, the physiologist why we perceive as we do. Yet no one suggests that there is no dawn at all, or that its appearance has changed over the centuries, or that any one of these percipients was mad or deceitful. Why should our knowledge of the Creator be less capable of variety and development than our knowledge of any aspect of Creation?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6294</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no time like the pleasant. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21691]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no time like the pleasant.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21691</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The commissions taint the whole process, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35067]]></link><description><![CDATA[The commissions taint the whole process,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35067</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man's own good breeding is the best security against other people's ill manners. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26359]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man's own good breeding is the best security against other people's ill manners.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first question was a laundry list explanation of peoples' activities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37743]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first question was a laundry list explanation of peoples' activities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37743</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a good strategy to take aim at this generation.
