Every man is born under the yoke, and grows up beneath the oppressions of his age. He can only get a vision of the unselfish forces in the world by appealing to them, and every appeal is a call to arms. If he fights he must fight, not one man, but a conspiracy. He is always at war with a civilization. On his side is proverbial philosophy, a galaxy of invisible saints and sages, and the half-developed consciousness and professions of everybody. Against him is the world, and every selfish passion in his own heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22586</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While you live, tell truth and shame the devil! -King Henry IV.

A Goat, overcome with thirst, came to the same well, and seeing the Fox, inquired if the water was good. Concealing his sad plight under a merry guise, the Fox indulged in a lavish praise of the water, saying it was excellent beyond measure, and encouraging him to descend. The Goat, mindful only of his thirst, thoughtlessly jumped down, but just as he drank, the Fox informed him of the difficulty they were both in and suggested a scheme for their common escape. If, said he, you will place your forefeet upon the wall and bend your head, I will run up your back and escape, and will help you out afterwards. The Goat readily assented and the Fox leaped upon his back. Steadying himself with the Goat's horns, he safely reached the mouth of the well and made off as fast as he could. When the Goat upbraided him for breaking his promise, he turned around and cried out, You foolish old fellow! If you had as many brains in your head as you have hairs in your beard, you would never have gone down before you had inspected the way up, nor have exposed yourself to dangers from which you had no means of escape. Look before you leap.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In order to properly understand the big picture, everyone should fear becoming mentally clouded and obsessed with one small section ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64167]]></link><description><![CDATA[In order to properly understand the big picture, everyone should fear becoming mentally clouded and obsessed with one small section of truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64167</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The blood more stirs To rouse a lion than to start a hare! -King Henry IV.
