All the commerce of life is a perpetual constraint to the laws of good breeding, and the necessity of humoring others; and besides, our own passions are the worst tyrants: if you obey them but by halves, a perpetual strife and contest exists within; and if you entirely give up yourself to them, it is horrid to think to what extremities they will lead. May God preserve us from that fatal slavery, which the mad presumption of man calls liberty! Liberty is to be found only in Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8307</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like summer seas that lave with silent tides a lonely shore, like whispering winds that stir the tops of forest ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6451]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like summer seas that lave with silent tides a lonely shore, like whispering winds that stir the tops of forest trees, like a still, small voice that calls us in the watches of the night, like a child's hand that feels about a fast-closed door;  gentle, unnoticed, and oft in vain:  so is Thy coming unto us, O God. Like ships storm-driven into port, like starving souls that seek the bread they once despised, like wanderers begging refuge from the whelming night, like prodigals that seek the father's home when all is spent;  yet welcomed at the open door, arms outstretched and kisses for our shame;  so is our coming unto Thee, 0 God. Like flowers uplifted to the sun, like trees that bend before the storm, like sleeping seas that mirror cloudless skies, like a harp to the hand, like an echo to a cry, like a song to the heart;  for all our stubbornness, our failure, and our sin:  so would we have been to Thee, O God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6451</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66728]]></link><description><![CDATA[Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66728</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.

The gates have been opened to evil in part because of a terrible discrepancy between human ideals and actual possibilities -- terrible heresies concerning the nature of man and the structure of the historical universe. Christianity, even if it cannot persuade men to rise to the contemplation of the spiritual things, embodies principles which may at least have the effect of bringing the dreamers down to earth. Because it confronts the problem of human sin, it can face our difficulties and dilemmas without evasions -- without the fundamental evasiveness of those who believe that all would be well with the world if it were not for a few unspeakable criminals, always conveniently identified with the political enemy of the moment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6630</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of this stamp is the cant of, not men, but measures. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46943]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of this stamp is the cant of, not men, but measures.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46943</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One person with a belief is equal to a force of ninety-nine who have only interests. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4095]]></link><description><![CDATA[One person with a belief is equal to a force of ninety-nine who have only interests.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The safety pin thing goes all the way back to Harry.
