We are met to celebrate this day. Washington is the mightiest name on earth--long since mightiest in the cause of civil liberty; still mightiest in moral reformation. On that name an eulogy is expected. It can not be. To add brightness to the sun or glory to the name of Washington is alike impossible. Let none attempt it. In solemn awe pronounce the name and in its naked, deathless splendor leave it shining on.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61249</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You really have to experience the feeling of being with the president in the oval office. . . .

Thus pride may seem to be nothing but a frame of mind belonging unto our wealth and dignity, or our ... abilities; sensuality may seem to be but a lawful participation of the good things of this life; passion and peevishness, but a due sense of the want of respect that we must suppose owing unto us; covetousness, a necessary care of ourselves and of our families. If the seeds of sin are covered with such pretences, they will in time spring up and bear bitter fruit in the minds and the lives of men; and the beginning of all apostasy, both in religion and in morality, lies in just such pretences. Men plead that they can do so-and-so lawfully, until they can do things openly unlawful.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let Apella the Jew credit it, if he will. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50291]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let Apella the Jew credit it, if he will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[During our lives we're faced with so many elements as well, we experience so many setbacks, and fight such a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12251]]></link><description><![CDATA[During our lives we're faced with so many elements as well, we experience so many setbacks, and fight such a hand-to-hand battle with failure, head down in the rain, just trying to stay upright and have a little hope.

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[Depend on no man, on no friend but him who can depend on himself.
