I have come to doubt it. It may be quite childish, a sort of undignified pastime -- I'm referring to the kind of suffering a man inflicts on a woman or a woman on a man. It's extremely painful. I agree that it's hardly bearable. But I very much fear that this sort of pain deserves no consideration at all. It's no more worthy of respect than old age or illness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wicked people are always surprised to find ability in those that are good. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/95]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wicked people are always surprised to find ability in those that are good.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/95</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness is being married to your best friend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18676]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happiness is being married to your best friend.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18676</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who has a why to live can bear with almost any how. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25007]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who has a why to live can bear with almost any how.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25007</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I knew we were quick on defense, but they needed to be game-tested.

It thus comes about that in practice it is regularly the theoretical collectivist who extols individual reason and demands that all forces of society be made subject to the direction of a single mastermind, while it is the individualist who recognizes the limitations of the powers of individual reason and consequently advocates freedom as a means for the fullest development of the powers of the interindividual process.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47393</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All women are inferior to men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5863]]></link><description><![CDATA[All women are inferior to men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The price of inaction is far greater than the cost of making a mistake. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64499]]></link><description><![CDATA[The price of inaction is far greater than the cost of making a mistake.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64499</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have a lot of seniors that have been playing together for four years.

If therefore we depart without profit, our zeal in frequenting the church will prove our condemnation. That so great a judgment comes not upon you, when ye go hence ponder the things ye have heard, and exercise yourselves in confirming our instruction -- friend with friend, fathers with their children, masters with their slaves -- so that, when ye return hither and hear from us the same counsels, ye may not be ashamed, but rejoice and be glad in the conviction that ye have put into practice the greater part of our exhortation. Not only must we meditate upon these things here -- for this short exhortation sufficeth not to eradicate the evil -- but at home let the husband be reminded of them by the wife, and the wife by the husband, and let an emulation obtain in families to the fulfilment of the divine law.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6275</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Father! no prophet's laws I seek,-- Thy laws in Nature's works appear;--  I own myself corrupt and weak,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48051]]></link><description><![CDATA[Father! no prophet's laws I seek,-- Thy laws in Nature's works appear;--  I own myself corrupt and weak,   Yet will I pray, for thou wilt hear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As with the Christian religion, the worst advertisement for Socialism is its adherents ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/742]]></link><description><![CDATA[As with the Christian religion, the worst advertisement for Socialism is its adherents]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of the Visit of the Virgin Mary to Elizabeth  The solution lies in a complete realisation of what ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6891]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of the Visit of the Virgin Mary to Elizabeth  The solution lies in a complete realisation of what we mean by asserting that God is Almighty. The two ideas of Free-will and Divine Sovereignty can not be reconciled in our own minds, but that does not prevent them from being reconciled in God's mind. We measure Him by our own intellectual standard if we think otherwise. And so our solution of the problem of Free-will and of the problems of history and of individual salvation must finally lie in the full acceptance and realisation of what is implied by the infinity and the omniscience of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6891</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our sympathy is cold to the relation of distant misery. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46456]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our sympathy is cold to the relation of distant misery.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Because, you know what your hours are going to be and they also have periods of time off within the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28388]]></link><description><![CDATA[Because, you know what your hours are going to be and they also have periods of time off within the season, that you just don't get on an hour show.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28388</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What has poster'ty done for us, That we, lest they their rights should lose,  Should trust our necks to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47853]]></link><description><![CDATA[What has poster'ty done for us, That we, lest they their rights should lose,  Should trust our necks to gripe of noose?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't like it, but what am I going to do about it? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40129]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't like it, but what am I going to do about it?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40129</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of those things that's good to see him running around. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39813]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of those things that's good to see him running around.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a word is worth a coin, silence is worth two. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56290]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a word is worth a coin, silence is worth two.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56290</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, Straining upon the start. -King Henry V.

But such a formula, though it truly represented one side of their situation, can never represent the whole of any human situation. For God is also a Being whom it ill suits any of us to find but from whom we cannot escape. Part of the reason why men cannot find God is that there is that in Him which they do not desire to find, so that the God whom they are seeking and cannot find is not the God who truly is. Perhaps we could not fail to find God, if it were really God whom we were seeking. And indeed the deepest reality of the situation is that contained in the discovery, which alone is likely at last to resolve our perplexity, that when we were so distressfully seeking that which was not really God, the true God had already found us, though at first we did not know that it was He by whom we had been found. There is a saying, "Be careful what you seek; you might find it." And some who have sought God only as a complacent ally of their own ambitions have found Him a consuming fire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one's thoughts into action is the most difficult thing in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/454]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one's thoughts into action is the most difficult thing in the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That beautiful season . . . the Summer of All-Saints!  Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58266]]></link><description><![CDATA[That beautiful season . . . the Summer of All-Saints!  Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape   Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Peace hath higher tests of manhood Than battle ever knew. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45978]]></link><description><![CDATA[Peace hath higher tests of manhood Than battle ever knew.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45978</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The eyes have one language every where. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49842]]></link><description><![CDATA[The eyes have one language every where.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49842</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are all, in a sense, experts on secrecy.
