The load, or weight, or burden, of my neighbour's glory should be laid daily on my back, a load so heavy that only humility can carry it, and the backs of the proud will be broken. It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship --or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Logic: an instrument used for bolstering a prejudice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25446]]></link><description><![CDATA[Logic: an instrument used for bolstering a prejudice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25446</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from those unkind; yet strange, I am ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24585]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from those unkind; yet strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The destruction of the poor is their poverty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48638]]></link><description><![CDATA[The destruction of the poor is their poverty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48638</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a man should happen to reach perfection in this world, he would have to die immediately to enjoy himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46109]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a man should happen to reach perfection in this world, he would have to die immediately to enjoy himself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46109</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old age comes on suddenly, and not gradually as is thought. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1883]]></link><description><![CDATA[Old age comes on suddenly, and not gradually as is thought.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1883</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man forget not, though in rags he lies, And know the mortal through a crown's disguise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26244]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man forget not, though in rags he lies, And know the mortal through a crown's disguise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26244</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prices were different in the past.

Now there is something in our natural selves that may well make us wary of such a contact. The man who in his heart intends to go on being selfish or proud, or who has already decided how far his Christian convictions should carry him, is probably obeying a sound instinct when he keeps away from this glorious but perilous Sacrament. For, if the truth be told, men are often willing to put their trust in a god who in the end must be triumphant, simply because they want to be on the winning side; but they are not nearly so ready to bear any part of the cost of that winning. Yet the fellowship of the broken bread and the poured-out wine can mean no less than that.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that steals an egge, will steal an oxe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49399]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that steals an egge, will steal an oxe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is only the farmer who faithfully plants seeds in the Spring, who reaps a harvest in the Autumn. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64771]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is only the farmer who faithfully plants seeds in the Spring, who reaps a harvest in the Autumn.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64771</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination. - The Quest for Certainty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9441]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination. - The Quest for Certainty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men have a much better time of it than women: for one thing they marry later, for another thing they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27124]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men have a much better time of it than women: for one thing they marry later, for another thing they die earlier.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27124</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Steroids are bad for sports, bad for players, bad for the young people who hold athletes up as role models. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38743]]></link><description><![CDATA[Steroids are bad for sports, bad for players, bad for the young people who hold athletes up as role models.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38743</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our imagination is the only limit to what we can hope to have in the future ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20502]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our imagination is the only limit to what we can hope to have in the future]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Political promises are much like marriage vows.
