To Homer, the dawn was "rosy-fingered"; to Shakespeare, it was "in russet mantle clad"; to Housman, "the ship of sunrise burning". The scientist can explain exactly why the sky looks as it does in the early morning, the physiologist why we perceive as we do. Yet no one suggests that there is no dawn at all, or that its appearance has changed over the centuries, or that any one of these percipients was mad or deceitful. Why should our knowledge of the Creator be less capable of variety and development than our knowledge of any aspect of Creation?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6294</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man can do only what he can do.

This is the one only band of union betwixt God and the creature... Here the necessity is absolute; nothing will do instead of this will; all contrivances of holiness, all forms of religious piety, signify nothing without this will to all goodness. For as the will to all goodness is the whole nature of God, so it must be the whole nature of every service of religion that can be acceptable to him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And I believe that good journalism, good television, can make our world a better place. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31754]]></link><description><![CDATA[And I believe that good journalism, good television, can make our world a better place.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every baby born into the world is a finer one than the last ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3603]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every baby born into the world is a finer one than the last]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wise does at once what the fool does at last. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22049]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wise does at once what the fool does at last.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22049</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One can ever assume to be what he is not, and to conceal what he is. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51073]]></link><description><![CDATA[One can ever assume to be what he is not, and to conceal what he is.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51073</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A little of what you call frippery is very necessary towards looking like the rest of the world ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28294]]></link><description><![CDATA[A little of what you call frippery is very necessary towards looking like the rest of the world]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28294</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You're dead if you aim only for kids.
