Generally they mean only that they will do as they choose, in the confidence that no one will know their vagaries; and at the utmost only that they are willing to act contrary to the opinion of the majorities because they are supported by the approval of their neighbors. It’s not difficult to be unconventional in the eyes of the world when your unconventionality is but the convention of your set.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And soften'd sounds along the waters die: Smooth flow the waves, the zephyrs gently play. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62668]]></link><description><![CDATA[And soften'd sounds along the waters die: Smooth flow the waves, the zephyrs gently play.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Democracy is essentially anti-authoritarian--that is, it not only demands the right but imposes the responsibility of thinking for ourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11872]]></link><description><![CDATA[Democracy is essentially anti-authoritarian--that is, it not only demands the right but imposes the responsibility of thinking for ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11872</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If language had been the creation not of poetry but of logic, we should only have one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24043]]></link><description><![CDATA[If language had been the creation not of poetry but of logic, we should only have one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We never forgive those who make us blush. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13716]]></link><description><![CDATA[We never forgive those who make us blush.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was a good game for, not bad at all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33455]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was a good game for, not bad at all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're confirming that houses have been lost; we can't give you the numbers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41921]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're confirming that houses have been lost; we can't give you the numbers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All art requires courage. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3149]]></link><description><![CDATA[All art requires courage.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death will be a great relief.

To break the basic laws of justice and decency is sin indeed. Man's freedom to honor principles is the moral dimension in his nature, and sin often appears as lawlessness. But sin has its roots in something which is more than the will to break the law. The core of sin is our making ourselves the center of life, rather than accepting the holy God as the center. Lack of trust, self-love, pride -- these are three ways in which Christians have expressed the real meaning of sin. But what sin does is to make the struggle with evil meaningless. When we refuse to hold our freedom in trust and reverence for God's will, there is nothing which can make the risk of life worth the pain of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6665</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men have, for the most part, done with lamenting their lost faith.

Sentimental tears over the happy, simple Christendom of their fathers are a thing of the past. They are proclaiming now their contempt for Christ's character, and their disgust at the very name of love. Scorn and hatred, difference and division, must be more than ever our lot, if we would be the followers of Christ in these days.

It is here amongst the people, that the Church must worship and live its life. If it is faithful both to God and to its Gospel, it will be used to hold forth the Word of light to the conversion of those that see and hear. But if its light is hid, then wherewith shall the neighborhood be lighted?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mountains, rivers, earth, grasses, trees, and forests are always emanating a subtle, precious light, day and night, always emanating ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26635]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mountains, rivers, earth, grasses, trees, and forests are always emanating a subtle, precious light, day and night, always emanating a subtle, precious sound, demonstrating and expounding to all people the unsurpassed ultimate truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26635</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wish I had a Kryptonite cross, because then you could keep both Dracula AND Superman away. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11759]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wish I had a Kryptonite cross, because then you could keep both Dracula AND Superman away.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11759</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The earth is rude, silent, incomprehensible at first; Be not discouraged-- keep on-- there are divine things, well envelop'd; I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56301]]></link><description><![CDATA[The earth is rude, silent, incomprehensible at first; Be not discouraged-- keep on-- there are divine things, well envelop'd; I swear to you there are divine things more beautiful than words can tell.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56301</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anger is the most impotent of passions.
