When, through the operation of such laws, surprising events take place, [we may] cry out, ... "Such is the will of God," instead of setting ourselves to inquire whether it is the will of God to give us power to bring about or prevent such results; then our conduct is not piety but sinful laziness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6483</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love mirrors.

This knowledge is good ... but it does not bring with it any spiritual experience of God, for these graces are granted only to those who have a great love for Him. This fountain of love issues from our Lord alone, and no stranger may approach it. But knowledge of this kind is common to good and bad alike, since it can be acquired without love, ... and men of a worldly life are sometimes more knowledgeable than many true Christians although they do not possess this love. St. Paul describes this kind of knowledge: "If I had full knowledge of all things and knew all secrets, but had no love, I should be nothing." ... Some people who possess this knowledge become proud and misuse it in order to increase their personal reputation, worldly rank, honours and riches, when they should use it humbly to the praise of God and for the benefit of their fellow Christians in true charity... St. Paul says of this kind of knowledge: "Knowledge by itself stirs the heart with pride, but united to love it turns to edification." By itself this knowledge is like water, tasteless and cold. But if those who have it will offer it humbly to our Lord and ask for His grace, He will turn the water into wine with His blessing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The soil of their native land is dear to all the hearts of mankind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47623]]></link><description><![CDATA[The soil of their native land is dear to all the hearts of mankind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47623</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In some parts of Ireland the sleep which knows no waking is always followed by a wake which knows no ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61086]]></link><description><![CDATA[In some parts of Ireland the sleep which knows no waking is always followed by a wake which knows no sleeping.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61086</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2798]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Idealism is what precedes experience, cynicism is what follows. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10950]]></link><description><![CDATA[Idealism is what precedes experience, cynicism is what follows.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10950</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is clear yet ... the man cannot remain in these conditions ... his health is deteriorating. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29827]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is clear yet ... the man cannot remain in these conditions ... his health is deteriorating.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29827</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In prosperity our friends know us; in adversity we know our friends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/713]]></link><description><![CDATA[In prosperity our friends know us; in adversity we know our friends.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I pour into the world the eternal streams Wan prophets tent beside, and dream their dreams. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3848]]></link><description><![CDATA[I pour into the world the eternal streams Wan prophets tent beside, and dream their dreams.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3848</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's been pretty horrible.

An Ox gave him this kindly warning: O unhappy creature! why should you thus, of your own accord, incur destruction and trust yourself in the house of your enemy?' The Stag replied: Only allow me, friend, to stay where I am, and I will undertake to find some favorable opportunity of effecting my escape. At the approach of the evening the herdsman came to feed his cattle, but did not see the Stag; and even the farm-bailiff with several laborers passed through the shed and failed to notice him. The Stag, congratulating himself on his safety, began to express his sincere thanks to the Oxen who had kindly helped him in the hour of need. One of them again answered him: We indeed wish you well, but the danger is not over. There is one other yet to pass through the shed, who has as it were a hundred eyes, and until he has come and gone, your life is still in peril. At that moment the master himself entered, and having had to complain that his oxen had not been properly fed, he went up to their racks and cried out: Why is there such a scarcity of fodder? There is not half enough straw for them to lie on. Those lazy fellows have not even swept the cobwebs away. While he thus examined everything in turn, he spied the tips of the antlers of the Stag peeping out of the straw. Then summoning his laborers, he ordered that the Stag should be seized and killed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anger always comes from frustrated expectations ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14613]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anger always comes from frustrated expectations]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They do not love that do not show their love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25716]]></link><description><![CDATA[They do not love that do not show their love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Diligence is the mother of good fortune. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12294]]></link><description><![CDATA[Diligence is the mother of good fortune.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12294</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never forget that life can only be nobly inspired and rightly lived if you take it bravely and gallantly, as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1160]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never forget that life can only be nobly inspired and rightly lived if you take it bravely and gallantly, as a splendid adventure in which you are setting out into an unknown country, to meet many a joy, to find many a comrade, to win and lose many a battle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1160</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bad politicians are sent to Washington by good people who don't vote. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47245]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bad politicians are sent to Washington by good people who don't vote.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ghastly, grim, and ancient Raven, wandering from the Nightly shore,-- Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4244]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ghastly, grim, and ancient Raven, wandering from the Nightly shore,-- Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!  Quoth the Raven "Nevermore!"]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4244</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the pull of opposite poles that stretches souls.
