And so they found the truth. Gradually the results of the action manifested themselves, and, seeing them, they perceived what they had really done, and learnt the meaning of the truth revealed in the action. But if, from fear of the consequences, they had checked or forbidden the action, they would have lost this revelation. They would have missed the way to truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes, they forgive them ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5914]]></link><description><![CDATA[Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes, they forgive them]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5914</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What can we gain by sailing to the moon if we are not able to cross the abyss that separates ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24848]]></link><description><![CDATA[What can we gain by sailing to the moon if we are not able to cross the abyss that separates us from ourselves?

Now hath my life across a stormy sea  Like a frail bark reached that wide port where all  Are bidden, ere the final reckoning fall Of good and evil for eternity. Now know I well how that fond phantasy  Which made my soul the worshipper and thrall  Of earthly art, is vain; how criminal Is that which all men seek unwillingly. Those amorous thoughts which were so lightly dressed,  What are they when the double death is nigh?  The one I know for sure, the other dread. Painting nor sculpture now can lull to rest  My soul that turns to His great love on high,  Whose arms to clasp us on the cross were spread.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6544</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O thrush, your song is passing sweet, But never a song that you have sung  Is half so sweet ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59252]]></link><description><![CDATA[O thrush, your song is passing sweet, But never a song that you have sung  Is half so sweet as thrushes sang   When my dear love and I were young.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59252</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's a very smart bowler, and he plays to the gallery as well which adds to the whole picture, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42548]]></link><description><![CDATA[He's a very smart bowler, and he plays to the gallery as well which adds to the whole picture,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is worst of all is to advocate Christianity, not because it is true, but because it might prove useful... ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8416]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is worst of all is to advocate Christianity, not because it is true, but because it might prove useful... To justify Christianity because it provides a foundation of morality, instead of showing the necessity of Christian morality from the truth of Christianity, is a very dangerous inversion; and we may reflect that a good deal of the attention of totalitarian states has been devoted with a steadfastness of purpose not always found in democracies, to providing their national life with a foundation of morality -- the wrong kind, perhaps, but a good deal more of it. It is not enthusiasm, but dogma, that differentiates a Christian from a pagan society.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's no fun getting beat up in the press.
