But we can at least crystallize the lessons into two simple maxims- one negative, the other positive. The first is that, in face of the overwhelming evidence of history, no general is justified in launching his troops to a direct attack upon an enemy firmly in position. The second, that instead of seeking to upset the enemy's equilibrium by one's attack, it must be upset before a real attack is, or can be successfully launched.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A peace above all earthly dignities, A still and quiet conscience. -King Henry VIII.

Some even wanted him to be king, a thought that GW found ludicrous: What astonishing changes a few years are capable of producing! I am told that even respectable characters speak of a monarchical form of government without horror. From thinking proceeds speaking, thence to acting is often but a single step. But how irrevocable and tremendous! What a triumph for the advocates of despotism to find that we are incapable of governing ourselves, and that systems founded on the basis of equal liberty are merely ideal & fallacious!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even the Bible itself is interpreted and understood in various ways, and so always becomes the center of sectarianism.

Just in the same way, dogmas and creeds cannot bring Christian unity, because human minds are not so uniformly created that they can unite in a single dogma or creed. Even our understanding of Christ Himself cannot be the basis of unity, because He is too big to be understood by any one person or group, and therefore our limited understandings do not always coincide. One emphasizes this point about Christ, another that; and this again becomes the cause of divisions. If we will only take our fellowship with Christ as the center of Christian faith, all Christians will realize their oneness... All our fellowship, however varied, is with the same Lord, and the same Saviour is our one Head.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once a man is on hand, a woman tends to stop believing in her own beliefs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27155]]></link><description><![CDATA[Once a man is on hand, a woman tends to stop believing in her own beliefs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27155</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That man that hath a tongue, I say, is no man, If with his tongue he cannot win a woman. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55335]]></link><description><![CDATA[That man that hath a tongue, I say, is no man, If with his tongue he cannot win a woman. -The Two Gentleman of Verona.
