His master suspended a bell about his neck so that the Dog might give notice of his presence wherever he went. Thinking it a mark of distinction, the Dog grew proud of his bell and went tinkling it all over the marketplace. One day an old hound said to him: Why do you make such an exhibition of yourself? That bell that you carry is not, believe me, any order of merit, but on the contrary a mark of disgrace, a public notice to all men to avoid you as an ill mannered dog. Notoriety is often mistaken for fame.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learn to enjoy every minute of your life.

There is an apparent contradiction here, for how can we abide, and yet advance? It is a paradox, like much else in scripture; but Christian experience proves it true. Those make the best progress in religion who hold fast by the faith once for all delivered to the saints, and not those who drift away from their moorings, rudderless upon a sea of doubt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's better to burn out, then to fade away. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24588]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's better to burn out, then to fade away.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is a jest; and all things show it. I thought so once; but now I know it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26891]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is a jest; and all things show it. I thought so once; but now I know it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26891</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This art of resting the mind and the power of dismissing from it all care and worry is probably one ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62268]]></link><description><![CDATA[This art of resting the mind and the power of dismissing from it all care and worry is probably one of the secrets of energy in our great men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The dumber people think you are, the more surprised they're going to be when you kill them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11268]]></link><description><![CDATA[The dumber people think you are, the more surprised they're going to be when you kill them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Un croquis vaut mieux qu’un long discours."Fr., "A picture is worth a thousand words. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3357]]></link><description><![CDATA[Un croquis vaut mieux qu’un long discours."Fr., "A picture is worth a thousand words.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's none so blind as they that won't see. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4330]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's none so blind as they that won't see.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4330</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Brooke Foss Westcott, Bishop of Durham, Teacher, 1901  The idea of "conviction" is complex.

It involves the concepts of authoritative examination, of unquestionable proof, of decisive judgment, of punitive power. Whatever the final issue may be, he who "convicts" another places the truth of the case in dispute in a clear light before him, so that it must be seen and acknowledged as truth. He who then rejects the conclusion which the exposition involves, rejects it with his eyes open and at his peril. Truth seen as truth carries with it condemnation to all who refuse to welcome it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would rather sleep in the southern corner of a little country churchyard, than in the tombs of the Capulets. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18213]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would rather sleep in the southern corner of a little country churchyard, than in the tombs of the Capulets.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For me, the highest level of sexual excitement is in a monogamous relationship. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53386]]></link><description><![CDATA[For me, the highest level of sexual excitement is in a monogamous relationship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53386</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anything done for another is done for oneself. [Lat., Qui facit per alium facit per se.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11668]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anything done for another is done for oneself. [Lat., Qui facit per alium facit per se.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nay, if he take you in hand, sir, with an argument, He'll bray you in a mortar. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3056]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nay, if he take you in hand, sir, with an argument, He'll bray you in a mortar.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3056</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We create our fate every day we live ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15363]]></link><description><![CDATA[We create our fate every day we live]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15363</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[More than any other religion or, indeed, than any other element in human experience, Christianity has made for the intellectual ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6302]]></link><description><![CDATA[More than any other religion or, indeed, than any other element in human experience, Christianity has made for the intellectual advance of man in reducing languages to writing, creating literatures, promoting education from primary grades through institutions of university level, and stimulating the human mind and spirit to fresh explorations into the unknown. It has been the largest single factor in combating, on a world-wide scale, such ancient foes of man as war, famine, and the exploitation of one race by another. More than any other religion, it has made for the dignity of human personality. This it has done by a power inherent within it of lifting lives from selfishness, spiritual mediocrity, and moral defeat and disintegration, to unselfish achievement and contagious moral and spiritual power and by the high value which it set upon every human soul through the possibilities which it held out of endless growth in fellowship with the eternal God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An apology?

Just as if He had said: "Thou hatest me, and art mine enemy, yet I love thee, and am thy friend." ... As though God in human nature were saying: "I am pure, simple goodness, and therefore I cannot will or desire or rejoice in, or do or give anything but goodness. If I am to reward thee for thy evil and wickedness, I must do it with goodness, for I am and have nothing else."   ... Theologia Germanica  June 7, 2002   Some will not believe in miracles because the laws of nature work uniformly. But their uniformity is undisturbed by human operations; the will of man wields, without cancelling, these mighty forces which surround us: and why may not the will of God do the same?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7947</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Soon as midnight brought on the dusky hour Friendliest to sleep and silence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27456]]></link><description><![CDATA[Soon as midnight brought on the dusky hour Friendliest to sleep and silence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Often a noble face hides filthy ways. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1110]]></link><description><![CDATA[Often a noble face hides filthy ways.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1110</guid></item></channel></rss>
