You find him desperately numerous in the civil service, in the official bureaus. To him government is something given as unconditionally, as absolutely as ocean or hill. He goes on winding the tape that he finds. His imagination has rarely extricated itself from under the administrative machine to gain any sense of what a human, temporary contraption the whole affair is. What he thinks is the heavens above him is nothing but the roof.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46252</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest hatred, like the greatest virtue and the worst dogs, is silent. [Ger., Der grosste Hass ist, wie die ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18860]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest hatred, like the greatest virtue and the worst dogs, is silent. [Ger., Der grosste Hass ist, wie die grosste Tugend und die schlimmsten Hunde, still.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History is the study of lies, anyway, because no witness ever recalls events with total accuracy, not even eyewitnesses. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19406]]></link><description><![CDATA[History is the study of lies, anyway, because no witness ever recalls events with total accuracy, not even eyewitnesses.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rights that do not flow from duty well performed are not worth having. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8814]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rights that do not flow from duty well performed are not worth having.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of all the properties which belong to honorable men, not one is so highly prized as that of character. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1137]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of all the properties which belong to honorable men, not one is so highly prized as that of character.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1170  Come down, O Christ, and help me! reach Thy hand ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8484]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1170  Come down, O Christ, and help me! reach Thy hand For I am drowning in a stormier sea Than Simon on the the lake of Galilee: The wine of life is spilt upon the sand, My heart is as some famine-murdered land Whence all good things have perished utterly, And well I know my soul in Hell must lie If I this night before God's throne must stand.

Go, then, to prayer, not that ye may enjoy spiritual delights, but that ye may be full or empty, just as it pleaseth God. This will preserve you in an evenness of spirit, either in desertion or in consolation, and will prevent your being surprised at dryness, or the apparent repulses of Him who is altogether Love. Constant prayer is to keep the heart always right towards God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis a very good world we live in To spend, and to lend, and to give in;  But to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62203]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis a very good world we live in To spend, and to lend, and to give in;  But to beg, or to borrow, or ask for our own;   'Tis the very worst world that ever was known.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62203</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The course of every intellectual, if he pursues his journey long and unflinchingly enough, ends in the obvious, from which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22904]]></link><description><![CDATA[The course of every intellectual, if he pursues his journey long and unflinchingly enough, ends in the obvious, from which the non-intellectuals have never stirred.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Though ambition in itself is a vice, it often is also the parent of virtue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2366]]></link><description><![CDATA[Though ambition in itself is a vice, it often is also the parent of virtue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2366</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The numbers are just staggering. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34589]]></link><description><![CDATA[The numbers are just staggering.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34589</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The face, not the woman is the attraction. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50495]]></link><description><![CDATA[The face, not the woman is the attraction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50495</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60129]]></link><description><![CDATA[Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60129</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shauna and I had no office yet.
