God is merciful and kind; he bestows truth, as well as rain and sunshine, upon the just and the unjust. Christ is the "true light that enlightens every man". This bestowal should inspire feelings of joy, not resentment, in the heart of a Christian. Aristotle said many wise things about logic, Confucius many wise things about morals. When a Christian attacks general wisdom in the name of the gospel, the natural man will attack the gospel in the name of general wisdom.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Having a child is surely the most beautifully irrational act that two people in love can commit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62922]]></link><description><![CDATA[Having a child is surely the most beautifully irrational act that two people in love can commit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62922</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Until we actually see a suit of any sort we can't comment on anything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34620]]></link><description><![CDATA[Until we actually see a suit of any sort we can't comment on anything.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have to learn to adjust to opposing teams tactics.

You know, she was thrown into a role that most musical theater actresses wait a lifetime to play because it's such a huge role. She handled it like a gem. I mean, she's got a set of pipes that you won't believe when you hear her. And she's got a real warmth and accessibility to the audience that allows the audience into the show. It's a very difficult thing to have. You either have that or you don't, and she's got it big-time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29125</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shock.

It is no use passing judgments and making scapegoats of this or that individual statesman or group of statesmen. Idealists make a great mistake in not facing the real facts sincerely and resolutely. They believe in the power of the spirit, in the goodness which is at the heart of things, in the triumph which is in store for the great moral ideals of the race. But this great faith only too often leads to an optimism which is sadly and fatally at variance with actual results. It is the realist and not the idealist who is generally justified by events. We forget that the human spirit, the spirit of goodness and truth in the world, is still only an infant crying in the night, and that the struggle with darkness is as yet mostly an unequal struggle. . . . Paris proved this terrible truth once more. It was not Wilson who failed there, but humanity itself. It was not the statesmen that failed, so much as the spirit of the peoples behind them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62235</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The human race, to which so many of my readers belong, has been playing at children's games from the beginning, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56940]]></link><description><![CDATA[The human race, to which so many of my readers belong, has been playing at children's games from the beginning, and will probably do it till the end, which is a nuisance for the few people who grow up. And one of the games to which it is most attached is called, ''Keep tomorrow dark,'' and which is also named (by the rustics in Shropshire, I have no doubt) ''Cheat the Prophet.'' The players listen very carefully and respectfully to all that the clever men have to say about what is to happen in the next generation. The players then wait until all the clever men are dead, and bury them nicely. Then they go and do something else. That is all. For a race of simple tastes, however, it is great fun.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's definitely fun to play on the road.
