The term fast has no meaning apart from the term slow. In addition such terms have no meaning even when used together, except when confined to a very particular situation... most of our language about the organization and objective's of government is made up of such polar terms. Justice and injustice are typical. A reformer who wants to abolish injustice and create a world in which nothing but justice prevails is like a man who wants to make everything up. Such a man might feel that if he took the lowest in the world and carried it up to the highest point and kept on doing this, everything would eventually become up. This would certainly move a great many objects and create an enormous amount of activity. It might or might not be useful, according to the standards which we apply. However it would never result in the abolishment of down.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing in his life became him like the leaving it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11229]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing in his life became him like the leaving it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11229</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Twice does he live who can enjoy the remembrance of the past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50796]]></link><description><![CDATA[Twice does he live who can enjoy the remembrance of the past.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Memory moderates prosperity, decreases adversity, controls youth and delights old age. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14527]]></link><description><![CDATA[Memory moderates prosperity, decreases adversity, controls youth and delights old age.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My most brilliant achievement was my ability to be able to persuade my wife to marry me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26565]]></link><description><![CDATA[My most brilliant achievement was my ability to be able to persuade my wife to marry me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26565</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music and silence combine strongly because music is done with silence, and silence is full of music. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56266]]></link><description><![CDATA[Music and silence combine strongly because music is done with silence, and silence is full of music.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A frequent intercession with God, earnestly beseeching Him to forgive the sins of all mankind, to bless them with His ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7442]]></link><description><![CDATA[A frequent intercession with God, earnestly beseeching Him to forgive the sins of all mankind, to bless them with His providence, enlighten them with His Spirit, and bring them to everlasting happiness, is the divinest exercise that the heart of man can be engaged in. Be daily, therefore, on your knees, in a solemn deliberate performance of this devotion, praying for others in such forms, with such length, importunity, and earnestness, as you use for yourself; and you will find all little, ill-natured passions die away, your heart grow great and generous, delighting in the common happiness of others, as you used only to delight in your own... It was this holy intercession that raised Christians to such a state of mutual love, as far exceeded all that had been praised and admired in human friendship. And when the same spirit of intercession is again in the world, when Christianity has the same power over the hearts of people that it then had, this holy friendship will be again in fashion, and Christians will be again the wonder of the world, for that exceeding love which they bear to one another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And there is pansies, that's for thoughts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45445]]></link><description><![CDATA[And there is pansies, that's for thoughts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45445</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the first time I rode on an elephant and I thoroughly enjoyed the safari. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39001]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the first time I rode on an elephant and I thoroughly enjoyed the safari.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[90% of my time is spent on 10% of the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19498]]></link><description><![CDATA[90% of my time is spent on 10% of the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19498</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While I am speaking the opportunity is lost. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50812]]></link><description><![CDATA[While I am speaking the opportunity is lost.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[accomplishments, and at the same time, none of the competitors is stronger than him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28530]]></link><description><![CDATA[accomplishments, and at the same time, none of the competitors is stronger than him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's no crime to steal from a thief ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59067]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's no crime to steal from a thief]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59067</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some people have greatness thrust upon them.
