We will have such-a-one, for he sings prettily; we will invite such-a-one to a ball, for he dances well; we will have such-a-one at supper, for he is always joking and laughing; we will ask another because he plays deep at all games, or because he can drink a great deal. These are all vilifying distinctions, mortifying preferences, and exclude all ideas of esteem and regard. Whoever is had (as it is called) in company for the sake of any one thing singly, is singly that thing, and will never be considered in any other light; consequently never respected, let his merits be what they will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12347]]></link><description><![CDATA[I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavours to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him; or the old laws be expanded, and interpreted in his favour in a more liberal sense, and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings. In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness. If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12347</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is much easier to be critical that to be correct. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10741]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is much easier to be critical that to be correct.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary.
