For what a man had rather were true he more readily believes. Therefore he rejects difficult things from impatience of research; sober things, because they narrow hope; the deeper things of nature, from superstition; the light of experience, from arrogance and pride; things not commonly believed, out of deference to the opinion of the vulgar. Numberless in short are the ways, and sometimes imperceptible, in which the affections color and infect the understanding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hope life isn't a big joke, because I don't get it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24931]]></link><description><![CDATA[I hope life isn't a big joke, because I don't get it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We know that digging razor clams is a holiday tradition for a lot of families, and the tides cooperated this ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32516]]></link><description><![CDATA[We know that digging razor clams is a holiday tradition for a lot of families, and the tides cooperated this year.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A prince, the moment he is crown'd, Inherits every virtue sound,  As emblems of the sovereign power,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54520]]></link><description><![CDATA[A prince, the moment he is crown'd, Inherits every virtue sound,  As emblems of the sovereign power,   Like other baubles in the Tower:    Is generous, valiant, just, and wise,     And so continues till he dies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Difference of object does not alter singleness of passion.

These paintings, these poems, and these demonstrations... are the expression of men who are struggling with their appalling lostness. Dare we laugh at such things? Dare we feel superior when we view their tortured expressions in their art? Christians should stop laughing and take such men seriously. Then we shall have the right to speak again to our generation. These men are dying while they live, yet where is our compassion for them? There is nothing more ugly than an orthodoxy without understanding or without compassion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nowadays, all the married men live like bachelors, and all the bachelors like married men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3658]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nowadays, all the married men live like bachelors, and all the bachelors like married men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My reaction to porno films is as follows; After the first ten minutes, I want to go home and screw, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43327]]></link><description><![CDATA[My reaction to porno films is as follows; After the first ten minutes, I want to go home and screw, After the first twenty minutes, I never want to screw again as long as I live]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43327</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Idleness is the parent of all psychology ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20318]]></link><description><![CDATA[Idleness is the parent of all psychology]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were standing around offensively.

But if this verse ("'They hated me without a cause." Ps. 69:4) occurred to Jesus as describing his enemies, surely he was also identifying with the rest of [Psalm 69] with its vivid description of overwhelming troubles and importune cries to God for deliverance.
