Growth in goodness does not, therefore, necessarily imply increased happiness, on the contrary, it may mean greater unhappiness. And his unhappiness increasing in proportion to the elevation of his ethical standards, a man's end is either Buddha or suicide if he knows no God; while if he knows God, it is despair or that conversion which, having sobbed away its tears on the Father's breast, thence derives ever new strength to fight the battle of life, sure of the final victory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6671</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History is a cyclic poem written by time upon the memories of man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19465]]></link><description><![CDATA[History is a cyclic poem written by time upon the memories of man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19465</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Know when to speake; for many times it brings Danger to give the best advice to kings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/780]]></link><description><![CDATA[Know when to speake; for many times it brings Danger to give the best advice to kings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/780</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A meeting moves at the speed of the slowest mind in the room.

This, however, must not be a superstitious observance of hours, by which, as it were, performing a task to God, we think we are discharged as to other hours. It should rather be considered a discipline by which our weakness is exercised and stimulated.
