It is a hard thing to break through a habit, and a yet harder thing to go contrary to our own will. Yet, if thou overcome not slight and easy obstacles, how wilt thou overcome greater ones? Withstand thy will at the beginning, and unlearn an evil habit, lest it lead thee little by little into worse difficulties. Oh, if thou knewest what peace to thyself thy holy life should bring, ... and what joy to others, methinketh thou wouldst be more zealous for spiritual profit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No statesman e'er will find it worth his pains To tax our labours and excise our brains. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57840]]></link><description><![CDATA[No statesman e'er will find it worth his pains To tax our labours and excise our brains.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once when I was in Hawaii, on the island of Kauai, I met a mysterious old stranger.

He said he was about to die and wanted to tell someone about the treasure. I said, "Okay, as long as it's not a long story. Some of us have a plane to catch, you know." He stared telling hes story, about the treasure and his life and all, and I thought: "This story isn't too long." But then, he kept going, and I started thinking, "Uh-oh, this story is getting long." But then the story was over, and I said to myself: "You know, that story wasn't too long after all." I forget what the story was about, but there was a good movie on the plane. It was a little long, though.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11776</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not the quantity but the quality of knowledge which determines the mind's dignity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52648]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not the quantity but the quality of knowledge which determines the mind's dignity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52648</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mould of a man's fortune is in his own hands. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48613]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mould of a man's fortune is in his own hands.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's shaping up great.

In this I can act. And you may well say "act". For what I call "myself" (for all practical, everyday purposes) is also a dramatic construction; memories, glimpses in the shavinglass, and snatches of the very fallible activity called "introspection", are the principal ingredients. Normally I call this construction "me"' and the stage set "the real world". Now the moment of prayer is for me -- or involves for me as its condition -- the awareness, the reawakened awareness, that this "real world" and "real self" are very far from being rock-bottom realities. I cannot, in the flesh, leave the stage, either to go behind the scenes or to take my seat in the pit; but I can remember that these regions exist. And I also remember that my apparent self -- this clown or hero or super -- under his grease-paint is a real person with an off-stage life. The dramatic person could not tread the stage unless he concealed a real person: unless the real and unknown I existed, I would not even make mistakes about the imagined me. And in prayer this real I struggles to speak, for once, from his real being, and to address, for once, not the other actors, but -- what shall I call Him? The Author, for He invented us all? The Producer, for He controls all? Or the Audience, for He watches, and will judge, the performance?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have but nine-pence in ready money, but I can draw for a thousand pounds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57326]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have but nine-pence in ready money, but I can draw for a thousand pounds.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Within a stone's throw of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48528]]></link><description><![CDATA[Within a stone's throw of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48528</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Uncertainty and expectation are the joys of life.
