Even in everyday life we meet with worthy people who seem to think that whatever is pleasant must be wrong, that the true spirit of religion is crabbed, sour, and gloomy; that the bright, sunny, radiant nature which surrounds us is an evil and not a blessing, -- a temptation devised by the Spirit of Evil and not one of the greatest delights showered on us in such profusion by the Author of all Good.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6627</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And sure there is music even in the beauty, and the silent note which Cupid strikes, far sweeter than the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43438]]></link><description><![CDATA[And sure there is music even in the beauty, and the silent note which Cupid strikes, far sweeter than the sound of an instrument; for there is music wherever there is harmony, order, or proportion; and thus far we may maintain the music of the spheres.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Quite a nasty piece of work.

Do such men think that they have delighted us by telling us that they hold our souls to be nothing but a little wind and smoke -- and by saying it in conceited and complacent tones?
