Tomorrow, fallen into our own mire, we are dejected, but not humbled; we grieve, but it is only the grief of pride at the seeing our perfection not to be such as we had vainly imagined. And thus it will be, till the whole turn of our minds be so changed that we as fully see and know our inability to have any goodness of our own as to have a life of our own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7317</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness always looks small while you hold it in your hands, but let it go, and you learn at once ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18617]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happiness always looks small while you hold it in your hands, but let it go, and you learn at once how big and precious it is.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18617</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My arms have mutinied against me — brutes!My fingers fidget like ten idle brats,My back's been stiff for hours, damned ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62241]]></link><description><![CDATA[My arms have mutinied against me — brutes!My fingers fidget like ten idle brats,My back's been stiff for hours, damned hours.Death never gives his squad a Stand-at-ease.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why is it that we rejoice at a birth and grieve at a funeral?

For that life is won only from death and the good only from the evil is a piece of thoroughly worldly knowledge which is not strange to the Christian. But all this has nothing to do with the temptation of which Christ speaks. It simply does not touch the reality which is meant here. The temptation of which the whole Bible speaks does not have to do with the testing of my strength, for it is of the very essence of temptation in the Bible that all my strength -- to my horror, and without my being able to do anything about it -- is turned against me; really all my powers, including my good and pious powers (the strength of my faith), fall into the hands of the enemy power and are now led into the field against me. Before there can be any testing of my powers, I have been robbed of them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8614</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How many pens are broken, how many ink bottles consumed, to write about things that have never happened. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19454]]></link><description><![CDATA[How many pens are broken, how many ink bottles consumed, to write about things that have never happened.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was 10 times better, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34104]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was 10 times better,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34104</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Philosophy is a study that lets us be unhappy more intelligently ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58027]]></link><description><![CDATA[Philosophy is a study that lets us be unhappy more intelligently]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58027</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Maxim for life: You get treated in life the way you teach people totreat you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21539]]></link><description><![CDATA[Maxim for life: You get treated in life the way you teach people totreat you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The team played football today the way I like to see it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40197]]></link><description><![CDATA[The team played football today the way I like to see it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40197</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one's values. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63467]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one's values.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The gas was pouring out of the truck like a roof drain in a storm, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35565]]></link><description><![CDATA[The gas was pouring out of the truck like a roof drain in a storm,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35565</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Willful waste brings woeful want. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61268]]></link><description><![CDATA[Willful waste brings woeful want.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fire that's closest kept burns most of all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16025]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fire that's closest kept burns most of all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Value is the most invincible and impalpable of ghosts, and comes and goes unthought of while the visible and dense ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22563]]></link><description><![CDATA[Value is the most invincible and impalpable of ghosts, and comes and goes unthought of while the visible and dense matter remains as it was.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22563</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[We never deceive for a good purpose: knavery adds malice to falsehood. [Fr., On ne trompe point en bien; la ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11532]]></link><description><![CDATA[We never deceive for a good purpose: knavery adds malice to falsehood. [Fr., On ne trompe point en bien; la fourberie ajoute la malice au mensonge.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ambition has no rest! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2314]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ambition has no rest!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2314</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He thanked them for their service to our country.
