But once, in the heart of an angry crowd, their enthusiasm soured suddenly into a growling muttering. He applied it confidently to a man who, under the inspiration of His friendship, had broken with his sorry past and his old selfish, unclean ways, and was doing what he could to put things right. Now that, He said, is what I call a saved man. Very solemnly He tells us that on the Day of Judgement we shall not be asked the questions we are expecting, but others that will puzzle and startle us. Those folk on the left hand were, as far as we hear, respectable folk; their business books were straight, their home life was kindly, they themselves were clean-living men and women: nothing whatever is laid to their charge excepting this, that they lived in a world needing their help and were too absorbed in something -- what it was, we are not told; it may have been their souls -- to give what aid they could.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The natural man has only two primal passions: to get and beget. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19981]]></link><description><![CDATA[The natural man has only two primal passions: to get and beget.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We never become truly spiritual by sitting down and wishing to become so.

I remember you and recall you without effort, without exercise of will; that is, by natural impulse, indicated by a sense of duty, or of obligation. And that, I take it, is the only sort of remembering worth the having. When we think of friends, and call their faces out of the shadows, and their voices out of the echoes that faint along the corridors of memory, and do it without knowing why save that we love to do it, we content ourselves that friendship is a Reality, and not a Fancy -- that it is built upon a rock, and not upon the sands that dissolve away with the ebbing tides and carry their monuments with them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16776</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have a chance to get a joint document of principles tomorrow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28843]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have a chance to get a joint document of principles tomorrow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I take people very seriously.

Clearly the more premature an infant is when he is born, the greater likelihood of complications. In fact, according to the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services National Center for Health Statistics, complications stemming from short gestation and low birth weight are the second leading causes of infant mortality in the United States. Ironically, the advanced medical technologies used in the United States tend to increase our infant mortality rate, not decrease it. In the United States, advanced technologies and procedures have made it more practical in recent years for medical professionals to attempt to save severely premature infants. Such attempts do not always succeed, adding to the rate of infant mortality.] Resuscitation is more likely to be attempted on extremely premature babies born in the United States than in many other countries, ... The extremely premature babies on whom resuscitation is unsuccessful are then counted as infant deaths, whereas they are counted as fetal deaths when resuscitation has not been attempted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38393</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A little inaccuracy sometimes saves a lot of explanations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26134]]></link><description><![CDATA[A little inaccuracy sometimes saves a lot of explanations.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26134</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is harder to kill a whisper than even a shouted calumny. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61530]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is harder to kill a whisper than even a shouted calumny.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most fatal illusion is the narrow point of view.
