To possess a high spirit, to behave with proper spirit when used ill -- by which is meant, a quick feeling of injuries, and a promptness in resenting them -- entitles to commendation; and a meek-spirited disposition, the highest Scripture eulogium, expresses ideas of disapprobation and contempt. Vanity and vainglory are suffered without interruption to retain their natural possession of the heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6977</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody holds a good opinion of a man who holds a low opinion of himself ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45001]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nobody holds a good opinion of a man who holds a low opinion of himself]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Its failings notwithstanding, there is much to be said in favor of journalism in that by giving us the opinion ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26660]]></link><description><![CDATA[Its failings notwithstanding, there is much to be said in favor of journalism in that by giving us the opinion of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26660</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Richard Baxter, Priest, Hymnographer, Teacher, 1691 Lord, it belongs not to my care,  Whether I die or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7724]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Richard Baxter, Priest, Hymnographer, Teacher, 1691 Lord, it belongs not to my care,  Whether I die or live; To love and serve Thee is my share,  And this Thy grace must give. If life be long I will be glad,  That I may long obey; If short--yet why should I be sad  To soar to endless day? Christ leads me through no darker rooms  Than He went through before; He that unto God's kingdom comes,  Must enter by this door. Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet  Thy blessed face to see; For if Thy work on earth be sweet,  What will Thy glory be! Then shall I end my sad complaints,  And weary, sinful days; And join with the triumphant saints,  To sing Jehovah's praise. My knowledge of that life is small,  The eye of faith is dim; But 'tis enough that Christ knows all,  And I shall be with him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7724</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Under normal conditions the research scientist is not an innovator but a solver of puzzles, and the puzzles upon which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57030]]></link><description><![CDATA[Under normal conditions the research scientist is not an innovator but a solver of puzzles, and the puzzles upon which he concentrates are just those which he believes can be both stated and solved within the existing scientific tradition.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The press, like fire, is an excellent servant, but a terrible master. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23351]]></link><description><![CDATA[The press, like fire, is an excellent servant, but a terrible master.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The way they're so proper. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39282]]></link><description><![CDATA[The way they're so proper.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39282</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Price is what you pay.

According to Christian teachers, the essential vice, the utmost evil, is Pride. Unchastity, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere flea-bites in comparison: it was through Pride that the devil became the devil: Pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-God state of mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What, shall one of us, That struck for the foremost man of all this world  But for supporting robbers--shall ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4911]]></link><description><![CDATA[What, shall one of us, That struck for the foremost man of all this world  But for supporting robbers--shall we now   Contaminate our fingers with base bribes,    And sell the mighty space of our large honors     For so much trash as may be grasped thus?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4911</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Being on sea saile, being on land settle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49153]]></link><description><![CDATA[Being on sea saile, being on land settle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49153</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not with whom you are born, but with whom you are bred. [Sp., No con quien naces, sino con quien ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13396]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not with whom you are born, but with whom you are bred. [Sp., No con quien naces, sino con quien paces.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13396</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62072]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62072</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes.
