Provide you could pay and read, what was on the shelves in the new bookshops was yours for the taking. The speed with which printing presses and their operators fanned out across Europe is extraordinary. From the single Mainz press of 1457, it took only twenty-three years to establish presses in 110 towns: 50 in Ita!0 in Germany, 9 in France, 8 in Spain, 8 in Holland, 4 in England, and so on.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The cordial agreement which exists between the governments of France and Great Britain. [Fr., La cordiale entente qui existe entre ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57835]]></link><description><![CDATA[The cordial agreement which exists between the governments of France and Great Britain. [Fr., La cordiale entente qui existe entre le gouvernement francais et celui de la Grande-Bretagne.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't look for more honor than your learning merits. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19735]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't look for more honor than your learning merits.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19735</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All mankind love a lover. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63645]]></link><description><![CDATA[All mankind love a lover.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45752]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45752</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We need at times, some of us at most times, that Charity from others which, being Love Himself in them, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8525]]></link><description><![CDATA[We need at times, some of us at most times, that Charity from others which, being Love Himself in them, loves the unlovable. But this, though a sort of love we need, is not the sort we want. We want to be loved for our cleverness, beauty, generosity, fairness, usefulness. The first hint that anyone is offering us the highest love of all is a terrible shock. This is so well recognized that spiteful people will pretend to be loving us with Charity precisely because they know that it will wound us. To say to one who expects a renewal of Affection, Friendship, or Eros, "I forgive you as a Christian" is merely a way of continuing the quarrel. Those who say it are of course lying. But the thing would not be falsely said in order to wound unless, if it were true, it would be wounding.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forget those things that aren't worth remembering. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22478]]></link><description><![CDATA[Forget those things that aren't worth remembering.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fox barks not when he would steal the lamb. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51315]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fox barks not when he would steal the lamb.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51315</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions.

It has neither accorded him a superior status to sustain his confidence nor made it easy for him to acquire an unquestioned sense of social usefulness. For he derives his sense of usefulness mainly from directing, instructing, and planning- from minding other people's business- and is bound to feel superfluous and neglected where people believe themselves competent to manage individual and communal affairs, and are impatient of supervision and regulation. A free society is as much a threat to the intellectual's sense of worth as an automated economy is to the workingman's sense of worth. Any social order that can function with a minimum of leadership will be anathema to the intellectual.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every egg represents 32 hours of jail for a chickenkept in a 3 ft by 1 ft cage, debeaked. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/199]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every egg represents 32 hours of jail for a chickenkept in a 3 ft by 1 ft cage, debeaked.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/199</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're just trying to break down those barriers and make sure the program is as good as any other [Scouting] ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38220]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're just trying to break down those barriers and make sure the program is as good as any other [Scouting] program.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38220</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The situation in Abidjan is very similar to the one we had yesterday.
