The load, or weight, or burden, of my neighbour's glory should be laid daily on my back, a load so heavy that only humility can carry it, and the backs of the proud will be broken. It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship --or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We need to find the courage to say NO to the things and people that are not serving us if ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10395]]></link><description><![CDATA[We need to find the courage to say NO to the things and people that are not serving us if we want to rediscover ourselves and live our lives with authenticity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10395</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's definitely nice.

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[Any people anywhere being inclined and having the power have the right to rise up and shake off the existing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54155]]></link><description><![CDATA[Any people anywhere being inclined and having the power have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government, and force a new one that suits them better.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54155</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's why we brought LaMont Jordan here, to run the ball.
