For what a man had rather were true he more readily believes. Therefore he rejects difficult things from impatience of research; sober things, because they narrow hope; the deeper things of nature, from superstition; the light of experience, from arrogance and pride; things not commonly believed, out of deference to the opinion of the vulgar. Numberless in short are the ways, and sometimes imperceptible, in which the affections color and infect the understanding.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have learned more from my mistakes than from my successes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64158]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have learned more from my mistakes than from my successes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64158</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The risk to this new forecast is down, not up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37715]]></link><description><![CDATA[The risk to this new forecast is down, not up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Keep doing good deeds long enough, and you'll probably turn out a good man in spite of yourself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14511]]></link><description><![CDATA[Keep doing good deeds long enough, and you'll probably turn out a good man in spite of yourself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Her treading would not bend a blade of grass, Or shake the downy blow-ball from his stalk! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16413]]></link><description><![CDATA[Her treading would not bend a blade of grass, Or shake the downy blow-ball from his stalk!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16413</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is only a step from boredom to disillusionment, which leads naturally to self-pity, which in turn ends in chaos. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12549]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is only a step from boredom to disillusionment, which leads naturally to self-pity, which in turn ends in chaos.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Global Services division goes from strength to strength ... providing BT with diversification away from pure telecoms services that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31604]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Global Services division goes from strength to strength ... providing BT with diversification away from pure telecoms services that remain under intense pricing pressure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ah, this is obviously some strange usage of the word 'safe' that I wasn't previously aware of ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54636]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ah, this is obviously some strange usage of the word 'safe' that I wasn't previously aware of]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54636</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Timothy and Titus, Companions of Paul Commemoration of Dorothy Kerin, Founder of the Burrswood Healing Community, 1963  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7312]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Timothy and Titus, Companions of Paul Commemoration of Dorothy Kerin, Founder of the Burrswood Healing Community, 1963   The... task of the ministry is, not to undertake some specialist activity from which the rest of the faithful are excluded, but to pioneer in doing that which the whole church must do.
