If his atlas tells him the world is flat he will not sail near what he believes to be the edge of our planet for fear of falling off. If his maps include a fountain of eternal youth, a Ponce de Leon will go off in quest of it. If someone digs up yellow dirt that looks like gold, he will for a time act exactly as if he has found gold. The way in which the world is imagined determines at any particular moment what men will do. It does not determine what they will achieve. It determines their effort, their feelings, their hopes, not their accomplishments and results.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It seems that nothing ever gets to going good till there's a few resignations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53947]]></link><description><![CDATA[It seems that nothing ever gets to going good till there's a few resignations.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53947</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History never looks like history when you are living through it.

Wrath, which is a fourth birth from these three, can have no existence till one or all of these three are contradicted, or have something done to them that is contrary to their will. These four properties generate their own torment. They have no outward cause, nor any inward power of altering themselves. And therefore all self or nature must be in this state until some supernatural good comes into it, or gets a birth in it. Whilst man indeed lives among the vanities of time, his covetousness, envy, pride, and wrath may be in a tolerable state, may hold him to a mixture of peace and trouble; they may have at times their gratifications as well as their torments. But when death has put an end to the vanity of all earthly cheats, the soul that is not born again of the Supernatural Word and Spirit of God, must find itself unavoidably devoured and shut up in its own insatiable, unchangeable, self-tormenting covetousness, envy, pride, and wrath.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was keen to return home and, although we rate him highly here, we did not like to see him ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35078]]></link><description><![CDATA[He was keen to return home and, although we rate him highly here, we did not like to see him unhappy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35078</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Light cares cry out; the great ones still are dumb. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51168]]></link><description><![CDATA[Light cares cry out; the great ones still are dumb.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51168</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This proves to the world that Iraqis are writing their own constitution.
