They are more willing to follow their own vision, even when it takes them far from the mainland of the human community. Unexplored places do not frighten them- or not, at any rate, as much as they frighten those around them. This is one of the secrets of their power.

That is the vainest of vain dreams. Rather is this the supreme revelation of a new way of living life; and only those who -- blunderingly, it may be, yet honestly -- seek to adopt and imitate it can be counted really Christian folk.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7718</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stones of small worth may lie unseen by day, But night itself does the rich gem betray. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23258]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stones of small worth may lie unseen by day, But night itself does the rich gem betray.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23258</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world's 'freeest'country has the highestnumber in prison. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16709]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world's 'freeest'country has the highestnumber in prison.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16709</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The trouble with the rat race is that, even if you win, you're still a rat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24965]]></link><description><![CDATA[The trouble with the rat race is that, even if you win, you're still a rat.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only limits to the possibilities in your life tomorrow are the butsyou use today. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21486]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only limits to the possibilities in your life tomorrow are the butsyou use today.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21486</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ides of March are come. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26372]]></link><description><![CDATA[The ides of March are come.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Acting on a good idea is better than just having a good idea. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22615]]></link><description><![CDATA[Acting on a good idea is better than just having a good idea.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They came in shifts.
