It is violence when we use a sharp word, when we make a gesture to brush away a person, when we obey because there is fear. So violence isn't merely organized butchery in the name of God, in the name of society or country. Violence is much more subtle, much deeper, and we are inquiring into the very depths of violence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60657</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fondly we think we honor merit then, When we but praise ourselves in other men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63770]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fondly we think we honor merit then, When we but praise ourselves in other men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63770</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can only perceive real beauty in a person as they get older ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29457]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can only perceive real beauty in a person as they get older]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29457</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is often necessary to know how to obey a woman in order sometimes to have the right to command ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64679]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is often necessary to know how to obey a woman in order sometimes to have the right to command her.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Immature love says: "I love you because I need you."

If I were to preach upon this text ("For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Matt. 6:21), to such a glass, it would be enough for half the sermon, enough to show the worldly man his treasure, and the object of his Heart, to call his eye to that minute-glass, and to tell him, "There flows, there flies, your treasure, and your heart with it."   But if I had a secular glass, a glass that would run an age; if the two hemispheres of the world were composed in the form of such a glass, and all the world burnt to ashes, and all the ashes, and the sands, and atoms of the world put into that glass, it would not be enough to tell the godly man what his treasure, and the object of his heart is. A parrot will sooner be brought to relate to us the wisdom of a council table, than any Ambrose, or any Chrysostom, men that have gold and honey in their names, shall tell us what the treasure of heaven is, and that man's peace, that hath set his Heart upon that treasure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8094</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be able to practice five things everywhere under heaven constitutes perfect virtue.
