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[The great work must inevitably be obscure, except to the very few, to those who like the author himself are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9570]]></link><description><![CDATA[The great work must inevitably be obscure, except to the very few, to those who like the author himself are initiated into the mysteries.

You comfort us in sorrow and bind up our wounds:  in sickness you nurse us,  and with pure milk you feed us. Jesus, by your dying we are born to new life:  by your anguish and labour we come forth in joy. Despair turns to hope through your sweet goodness:  through your gentleness we find comfort in fear. Your warmth gives life to the dead:  your touch makes sinners righteous. Lord Jesus, in your mercy heal us:  in your love and tenderness remake us. In your compassion bring grace and forgiveness:  for the beauty of heaven may your love prepare us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7707</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The robin population is variable from one winter to the next. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38722]]></link><description><![CDATA[The robin population is variable from one winter to the next.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38722</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Laziness may appear attractive but work gives satisfaction. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21420]]></link><description><![CDATA[Laziness may appear attractive but work gives satisfaction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The families coming up here will be people who want to escape New Orleans and other Gulf Coast areas permanently, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36877]]></link><description><![CDATA[The families coming up here will be people who want to escape New Orleans and other Gulf Coast areas permanently,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36877</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Neutral men are the devil's allies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44410]]></link><description><![CDATA[Neutral men are the devil's allies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44410</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes it seems that we are successful only because we have not tried hard enough for our best.
