It is not so much that new ideas are painful, for they are not. It is that old ideas are seldom entirely false, but have truth, great truth in them. The justification for conservatism is the desire to preserve the truths and standards of the past; its dangers, of which we are seldom aware, is that in preserving those values, we may miss the infinitely greater riches that lie in the future.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9864</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the habit of every aggressor nation to claim that it is acting on the defensive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1907]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the habit of every aggressor nation to claim that it is acting on the defensive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some of my best friends are illusions.

First, that He was a Sabbath-breaker. Secondly, that He was "a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners" -- or (to draw aside the veil of Elizabethan English that makes it sound so much more respectable) that He ate too heartily, drank too freely, and kept very disreputable company, including grafters of the lowest type and ladies who were no better than they should be. For nineteen and a half centuries, the Christian Churches have laboured, not without success, to remove this unfortunate impression made by their Lord and Master. They have hustled the Magdalens from the Communion-table, founded Total Abstinence Societies in the name of Him who made the water wine, and added improvements of their own, such as various bans and anathemas upon dancing and theatre-going. They have transferred the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, and, feeling that the original commandment "Thou shalt not work" was rather half-hearted, have added to it the new commandment, "Thou shalt not play.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Grief is the agony of an instant; the indulgence of grief the blunder of a life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18365]]></link><description><![CDATA[Grief is the agony of an instant; the indulgence of grief the blunder of a life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I feel like justice is being done. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41814]]></link><description><![CDATA[I feel like justice is being done.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At land indeed Thou dost o'ercount me of my father's house:  But since the cuckoo builds not for himself, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10812]]></link><description><![CDATA[At land indeed Thou dost o'ercount me of my father's house:  But since the cuckoo builds not for himself,   Remain in't as thou mayst.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's the first time this system has been used. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34831]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's the first time this system has been used.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34831</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Scientists dream about doing great things.

Though the earth be shaking, every heart be quaking,  God dispels our fear. Sin and hell in conflict fell With their heaviest storms assail us:  Jesus will not fail us. Hence, all thoughts of sadness! For the Lord of gladness,  Jesus, enters in: Those who love the Father, though the storms may gather,  Still have peace within; Yes, whate'er we here must bear, Still in Thee lies purest pleasure,  Jesus, priceless treasure!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I had a flower for every time I thought of you...I could walk through my garden forever. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65638]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I had a flower for every time I thought of you...I could walk through my garden forever.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65638</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reality is the leading cause of stress for those in touch with it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53071]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reality is the leading cause of stress for those in touch with it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53071</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The very rats Instinctively had quit it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51494]]></link><description><![CDATA[The very rats Instinctively had quit it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Politics makes strange bed-fellows. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47038]]></link><description><![CDATA[Politics makes strange bed-fellows.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47038</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You must look into people, as well as at them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5666]]></link><description><![CDATA[You must look into people, as well as at them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is an adventure in forgiveness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8425]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is an adventure in forgiveness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8425</guid></item></channel></rss>
