We will have such-a-one, for he sings prettily; we will invite such-a-one to a ball, for he dances well; we will have such-a-one at supper, for he is always joking and laughing; we will ask another because he plays deep at all games, or because he can drink a great deal. These are all vilifying distinctions, mortifying preferences, and exclude all ideas of esteem and regard. Whoever is had (as it is called) in company for the sake of any one thing singly, is singly that thing, and will never be considered in any other light; consequently never respected, let his merits be what they will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Know first who you are; and then adorn yourself accordingly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2871]]></link><description><![CDATA[Know first who you are; and then adorn yourself accordingly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2871</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything makes me nervous - except making films. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43368]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything makes me nervous - except making films.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43368</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's just goofy.

He returned to his den, and lying down there, pretended to be sick, taking care that his sickness should be publicly known. The beasts expressed their sorrow, and came one by one to his den, where the Lion devoured them. After many of the beasts had thus disappeared, the Fox discovered the trick and presenting himself to the Lion, stood on the outside of the cave, at a respectful distance, and asked him how he was. I am very middling, replied the Lion, but why do you stand without? Pray enter within to talk with me. No, thank you, said the Fox. I notice that there are many prints of feet entering your cave, but I see no trace of any returning. He is wise who is warned by the misfortunes of others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1543</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unfortunately, the media have trouble distinguishing between real science and propaganda cross-dressed as science. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26662]]></link><description><![CDATA[Unfortunately, the media have trouble distinguishing between real science and propaganda cross-dressed as science.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man gift will make a way for him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14607]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man gift will make a way for him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take the goods the gods provide thee. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48951]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take the goods the gods provide thee.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Worldwide, inflation is going to be the big story next year.

But man, being himself a part of fallen nature and subject to its disordered properties, is not allowed to work with them, because it would be stirring up evil in himself, and that is his sin of wrath or revenge. God therefore reserves all vengeance to Himself, not because wrathful revenge is a temper or quality that can have any place in the holy Deity, but because the holy supernatural Deity, being free from all the properties of nature, whence partial love and hatred spring, and being in Himself nothing but an infinity of love, wisdom, and goodness, He alone knows how to overrule the disorders of nature, and so to repay evil with evil, that the highest good may be promoted by it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6997</guid></item></channel></rss>
