It is the grateful, faithful, fruitful use of what we have, little or much. It is to take the cup of Providence, and call upon the name of the Lord. What the cup contains is its contents. To get all that is in the cup is the act and art of contentment. Not to drink because one has but half a cup, or because one does not like its flavor, or because somebody else has silver to one's own glass, is to lose the contents; and that is the penalty, if not the meaning, of discontent. No one is discontented who employs and enjoys to the utmost what he has. It is high philosophy to say, we can have just what we like if we like what we have; but this much at least can be done, and this is contentment: to have the most and best in life by making the most and best of what we have.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The children will not leave unless I do.

You see, gentlemen, how I would answer that question. You are deceived in thinking that the morality of your father was based on Christianity. On the contrary, Christianity presupposed it. That morality stands exactly where it did; its basis has not been withdrawn, for, in a sense, it never had a basis. The ultimate ethical injunctions have always been premises, never conclusions. Kant was perfectly right on that point at least, the imperative is categorical. Unless the ethical is assumed from the outset, no argument will bring you to it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the hood of the horses shakes the crumbling field as they run. [Lat., Quadrupedumque putrem cursu quatit ungula campum.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19848]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the hood of the horses shakes the crumbling field as they run. [Lat., Quadrupedumque putrem cursu quatit ungula campum.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19848</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man dies - Not every man really lives. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11152]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every man dies - Not every man really lives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11152</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True debauchery is liberating because it creates no obligations.
