One would never say, however (to end once and for all the confusion of these names) "He has St. Vitus's dance," "He has nerve fever," "He has dropsy," "He has ague," since there simply are not any fixed, unchanging diseases to be known by such names.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11234</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["What is a church?"--Our honest sexton tells, 'Tis a tall building, with a tower and bells. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8672]]></link><description><![CDATA["What is a church?"--Our honest sexton tells, 'Tis a tall building, with a tower and bells.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59777]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59777</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Accommodated; that is, when a man is, as they say, accommodated; or when a man is, being, whereby a' may ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55932]]></link><description><![CDATA[Accommodated; that is, when a man is, as they say, accommodated; or when a man is, being, whereby a' may be thought to be accommodated,—which is an excellent thing. -King Henry IV.

This, I believe, is partly due to man's enormous technical successes, which make him feel master of the human situation. But it is also partly due to our scholars and experts. By the time they have finished with their dissection of the New Testament and with their explaining away as "myth" all that they find disquieting or unacceptable to the modern mind, the Christian way of life is little more than humanism with a slight tinge of religion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The be-all and end-all of life should not be to get rich, but to enrich the world. -B.
