Remote from universal nature, and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The men of faith might claim for their positions ancient tradition, practical usefulness, and spiritual desirability, but one query could ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7695]]></link><description><![CDATA[The men of faith might claim for their positions ancient tradition, practical usefulness, and spiritual desirability, but one query could prick all such bubbles: Is it scientific? That question has searched religion for contraband goods, stripped it of old superstitions, forced it to change its categories of thought and methods of work, and in general has so cowed and scared religion that many modern-minded believers... instinctively throw up their hands at the mere whisper of it... When a prominent scientist comes out strongly for religion, all the churches thank Heaven and take courage, as though it were the highest possible compliment to God to have Eddington believe in Him. Science has become the arbiter of this generation's thought, until to call even a prophet and a seer 'scientific' is to cap the climax of praise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art is the signature of civilizations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63116]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art is the signature of civilizations.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we propose to ignore in a great man's teaching those doctrines which it has in common with the thought ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8518]]></link><description><![CDATA[When we propose to ignore in a great man's teaching those doctrines which it has in common with the thought of his age, we seem to be assuming that the thought of his age was erroneous. When we select for serious consideration those doctrines which "transcend" the thought of his own age and are "for all time", we are assuming that the thought of our age is correct: for of course by thoughts which transcend the great man's age we really mean thoughts that agree with ours. Thus I value Shakespeare's picture of the transformation in old Lear more than I value his views about the divine right of kings, because I agree with Shakespeare that a man can be purified by suffering like Lear, but do not believe that kings (or any other rulers) have divine right in the sense required. When the great man's views do not seem to us erroneous we do not value them the less for having been shared with his contemporaries. Shakespeare's disdain for treachery and Christ's blessing on the poor were not alien to the outlook of their respective periods; but no one wishes to discredit them on that account.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O, what a mansion have those vices got Which for their habitation chose out thee,  Where beauty's veil doth ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60512]]></link><description><![CDATA[O, what a mansion have those vices got Which for their habitation chose out thee,  Where beauty's veil doth cover every blot   And all things turns to fair that eyes can see!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60512</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The worst thing is when the press call me a dizzy blonde - I got a B in Drama, a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36404]]></link><description><![CDATA[The worst thing is when the press call me a dizzy blonde - I got a B in Drama, a D in English, I did a hairdressing course and a beauty certificate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36404</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men of great conversational powers almost universally practise a sort of lively sophistry and exaggeration which deceives for the moment ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10100]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men of great conversational powers almost universally practise a sort of lively sophistry and exaggeration which deceives for the moment both themselves and their auditors.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Too many people today know the price of everything and the value of nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66832]]></link><description><![CDATA[Too many people today know the price of everything and the value of nothing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some love one, some love two.
