Some believe the better for seeing Christ's Sepulchre, and when they have seen the Red Sea, doubt not the miracle. Now contrarily I bless myself, and am thankful that I lived not in the days of miracles, that I never saw Christ nor His Disciples; I would not have been one of those Israelites that passed the Red Sea, nor one of Christ's patients, on whom He wrought His wonders; then had my faith been thrust upon me, nor should I enjoy that greater blessing pronounced to all that believe and saw not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a maxim, that those to whom everybody allows the second place have an undoubted title to the first. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62341]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a maxim, that those to whom everybody allows the second place have an undoubted title to the first.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62341</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Politeness is only one half good manners and the other half good lying. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26355]]></link><description><![CDATA[Politeness is only one half good manners and the other half good lying.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26355</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A gentlemans grayhound, and a salt-box; seeke them at the fire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49025]]></link><description><![CDATA[A gentlemans grayhound, and a salt-box; seeke them at the fire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All of the men on my staff can type. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27038]]></link><description><![CDATA[All of the men on my staff can type.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27038</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Temperance is a bridle of gold. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1314]]></link><description><![CDATA[Temperance is a bridle of gold.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1314</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you don't run your own life, somebody else will. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1066]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you don't run your own life, somebody else will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1066</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24553]]></link><description><![CDATA[Flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24553</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In lang, lang days o' simmer, When the clear and cloudless sky  Refuses ae weep drap o' rain  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58253]]></link><description><![CDATA[In lang, lang days o' simmer, When the clear and cloudless sky  Refuses ae weep drap o' rain   To Nature parched and dry,    The genial night, wi' balmy breath,     Gars verdue, spring anew,      An' ilka blade o' grass       Keps its ain drap o' dew.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58253</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Really, (trainers) Rick Burkholder and Chris Peduzzi know more than I do, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32973]]></link><description><![CDATA[Really, (trainers) Rick Burkholder and Chris Peduzzi know more than I do,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32973</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not like it's (the violence) all gone if there is not a public announcement. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29343]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's not like it's (the violence) all gone if there is not a public announcement.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Vincent de Paul, Founder of the Congregation of the Mission (Lazarists), 1660   The gospel comprises indeed, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6714]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Vincent de Paul, Founder of the Congregation of the Mission (Lazarists), 1660   The gospel comprises indeed, and unfolds, the whole mystery of man's redemption, as far forth as it is necessary to be known for our salvation: and the corpuscularian or mechanical philosophy strives to deduce all the phenomena of nature from adiaphorous matter, and local motion. But neither the fundamental doctrine of Christianity nor that of the powers and effects of matter and motion seems to be more than an epicycle ... of the great and universal system of God's contrivances, and makes but a part of the more general theory of things, knowable by the light of nature, improved by the information of the scriptures: so that both these doctrines... seem to be but members of the universal hypothesis, whose objects I conceive to be the natural counsels, and works of God, so far as they are discoverable by us in this life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6714</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced.

Outside, he is to be informed and vocal; inside, he must appear ignorant and mute as a sheep. Christians have within them many questions -- questions that are at once elementary and profound, questions that would ripple the water were they raised. However, because a Christian is supposed to have "answers", life's important questions are not discussed outside the church building; and, because the pastor is the educated, spiritual authority, they are not discussed inside either.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport.

General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rugged the breast that music cannot tame. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43429]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rugged the breast that music cannot tame.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stones are hollowed out by the constant dropping of water. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61297]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stones are hollowed out by the constant dropping of water.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61297</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She bears her down majestically near, Speed on her prow, and terror in her tier. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56166]]></link><description><![CDATA[She bears her down majestically near, Speed on her prow, and terror in her tier.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cultivate only the habits that you are willing should master you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18547]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cultivate only the habits that you are willing should master you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Facts per se can neither prove nor refute anything.
