The resurrection of the body, on the other. I can't reach the ghost of an image, a formula, or even a feeling, that combines them. But the reality, we are given to understand, does. Reality is the iconoclast once more. Heaven will solve our problems--but not, I think, by showing us subtle reconciliations between all our apparently contradictory notions. The notions will all be knocked from under our feet. We shall see that there never was any problem.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6704</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66871]]></link><description><![CDATA[Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66871</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you were a tadpole, and I was a fish, In the Palaeozoic time,  And side by side in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14359]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you were a tadpole, and I was a fish, In the Palaeozoic time,  And side by side in the sluggish tide   We sprawled in the ooze and slime.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Providence has given to the French the empire of the land, to the English that of the sea, to the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13912]]></link><description><![CDATA[Providence has given to the French the empire of the land, to the English that of the sea, to the Germans that of--the air!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13912</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the twilight of morning to climb to the top of the mountain,-- Thee to salute, kindly star, earliest herald ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59920]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the twilight of morning to climb to the top of the mountain,-- Thee to salute, kindly star, earliest herald of day,--  And to await, with impatience, the gaze of the ruler of heaven.--   Youthful delight, oh, how oft lur'st thou me out in the night.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Novelty has charms that our mind can hardly withstand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44687]]></link><description><![CDATA[Novelty has charms that our mind can hardly withstand.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44687</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness, long life, and health, are the common desire of most men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62828]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happiness, long life, and health, are the common desire of most men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8946]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If your dream is a big dream, and if you want your life to work on the high level that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52128]]></link><description><![CDATA[If your dream is a big dream, and if you want your life to work on the high level that you say you do, there's no way around doing the work it takes to get you there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52128</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No great thing is created suddenly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10556]]></link><description><![CDATA[No great thing is created suddenly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10556</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not good to have an oar in everyone's boat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46277]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not good to have an oar in everyone's boat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46277</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's partly because when we lost at Bonneville last week we didn't run our stuff.

Not fiends incarnate, but plain flesh and blood like us; quite ordinary men, decent and kindly souls enough, some of whom, no doubt, went to their homes that day from Calvary and took their children on their knees and loved them very genuinely. Only, they were a bit old fashioned in the make-up of their minds, had grown stiff and inelastic in their thinking, inhospitable to new notions -- surely a very minor sin at worst -- and some feared for their vested interests; and one, poor Pilate, had lost his temper with these impossible Jews in days gone by, and had received a curt warning from Rome that there must be no further bloodshed in Jerusalem, and here was a new trouble at the very worst of times in the whole year, with fanatics in tens of thousands come up for the Feast; and one wanted to save the world by quick-running machinery, and so put Christ into a situation where He could no longer dilly-dally but must do something vivid, dramatic, revolutionary. And the people? No need for us to bother being there at the decision between Jesus and Barabbas. We had the lined streets cheering for Him yesterday. And we have relatives to see, and messages from neighbours to deliver to their kindred. He will be all right; we needn't worry to be there. Such simple and plebian sins -- minds grown a trifle out of date, a little selfishness, some temper and its consequences, a bit of worldly wisdom, and an indifference that did nothing at all -- these brought about the shame of mankind, and the tragedy of history, and the blot upon our annals that will not rub out. And they are all of them within your heart and mine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7929</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that will enter into Paradise, must have a good key. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49410]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that will enter into Paradise, must have a good key.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49410</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Harriet Monsell of Clewer, Religious, 1883  When the eyes of the soul looking out meet the eyes ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7066]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Harriet Monsell of Clewer, Religious, 1883  When the eyes of the soul looking out meet the eyes of God looking in, heaven has begun right here on this earth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7066</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better than all measures Of delightful sound,  Better than all treasures   That in books are found,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24109]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better than all measures Of delightful sound,  Better than all treasures   That in books are found,    Thy skilled to poet were, thou scorner of the ground!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24109</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bachelors know more about women than married men; if they didn't they'd be married too. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26455]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bachelors know more about women than married men; if they didn't they'd be married too.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not enough to be able to pick up a sword.
