We invoke the true God for the Emperor. Even if he persecute us, we are bidden to pray for them that persecute us, as you can read in our books, which are not hidden, which you often get hold of. We pray for him because the Empire lies between us and the end of the world. We count the Caesars to be God's vice-regents and swear by their safety (not by their genius, as required). As for loyalty, Caesar really is more ours than yours; for it was our God who set him up. It is for his own good, that we refuse to call the Emperor God; Father of his Country is a better title. No Christian has ever made a plot against a Caesar; the famous conspirators and assassins were heathen, one and all. Piety, religion, faith are our best offering of loyalty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6844</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As a mortal, thou must nourish each of two forebodings--that tomorrow's sunlight will be the last that thou shalt see; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24841]]></link><description><![CDATA[As a mortal, thou must nourish each of two forebodings--that tomorrow's sunlight will be the last that thou shalt see; and that for fifty years wilt live out thy life in ample wealth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24841</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Experience is a dim lamp, which only lights the one who bears it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1346]]></link><description><![CDATA[Experience is a dim lamp, which only lights the one who bears it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1346</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One kind kiss before we part, Drop a tear, and bid adieu;  Though we sever, my fond heart  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45562]]></link><description><![CDATA[One kind kiss before we part, Drop a tear, and bid adieu;  Though we sever, my fond heart   Till we meet shall pant for you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45562</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even speed, when we are anxious, seems like delay. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51590]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even speed, when we are anxious, seems like delay.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All the proteins look very similar.

Strengthen my soul so that the weakening instinct of self-preservation, which besets all of us in battle, shall not blind me to my duty to my own manhood, to the glory of my calling, and to my responsibility to my fellow soldiers. Grant to our armed forces that disciplined valor and mutual confidence which insures success in war. Let me not mourn for the men who have died fighting, but rather let me be glad that such heroes have lived. If it be my lot to die, let me do so with courage and honor in a manner which will bring the greatest harm to the enemy, and please, oh Lord, protect and guide those I shall leave behind.

Pence   The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary. •Vince Lombardi  or •Donald Kendall  The toughest thing about success is that you've got to keep on being a success. Irving Berlin  The first and most important step toward success is the feeling that we can succeed. •Nelson Boswell  The secret of success is sincerity. Once you can fake that you've got it made. •Jean Giraudoux  I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody. •Bill Cosby  Why be a man when you can be a success? •Bertold Brecht  For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled. •Richard Feynman  Nothing succeeds like the appearance of success.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58144</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I happen to agree with many of the liberal emphasis on compassion, justice and equality.

Whenever, by exertion in any unselfish cause, health is broken or fortune impaired, or influential friends estranged, the follower of Christ is called an enthusiast, a fanatic, or even more plainly a man of unsound mind. He may be comforted by remembering that Jesus was said to be beside Himself when teaching and healing left Him not leisure even to eat.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7271</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happy the poet who with ease can steer From grave to gay, from lively to severe.  [Lat., Heureux qui, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46840]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happy the poet who with ease can steer From grave to gay, from lively to severe.  [Lat., Heureux qui, dans ses vers, sait d'une voix legere   Passer du grave au doux, du plaisant au severe.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53994]]></link><description><![CDATA[Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wedding is destiny, and hanging likewise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27109]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wedding is destiny, and hanging likewise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27109</guid></item></channel></rss>
