This sentiment sometimes has even the hardiness to insinuate and maintain itself under the guise of extraordinary concern for practical religion; but it soon discovers the falsehood of this pretension, and betrays its real nature. The expedient, indeed, of attaining to superiority in practice by not wasting any of the attention on the internal principles from which alone practice can flow, is about as reasonable, and will answer about as well, as the economy of an architect who should account it mere prodigality to expend any of his materials in laying foundation, from an idea that they might be more usefully applied to the raising of the superstructure. We know what would be the fate of such an edifice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6927</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I distrust the incommunicable; it is the source of all violence ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23621]]></link><description><![CDATA[I distrust the incommunicable; it is the source of all violence]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It destroys one's nerves to be amiable everyday to the same human being. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16817]]></link><description><![CDATA[It destroys one's nerves to be amiable everyday to the same human being.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16817</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must not let daylight in upon the magic. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26194]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must not let daylight in upon the magic.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The setting sun, and music at the close, As the last taste of sweets, is sweetest last, Writ in remembrance ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55814]]></link><description><![CDATA[The setting sun, and music at the close, As the last taste of sweets, is sweetest last, Writ in remembrance more than things long past. -King Richard II.

Societies which have more people carrying out physical acts and fewer people supplying ideas do not have higher standards of living. Quite the contrary.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15893</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sir Francis Drake circumsized the world with a 100-foot clipper. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19526]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sir Francis Drake circumsized the world with a 100-foot clipper.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A weed is no more than a flower in disguise, Which is seen through at once, if love give a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46668]]></link><description><![CDATA[A weed is no more than a flower in disguise, Which is seen through at once, if love give a man eyes]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is now life and not art that requires the willing suspension of disbelief. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24911]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is now life and not art that requires the willing suspension of disbelief.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24911</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the stormy winds do blow; When the battle rages loud and long,  And the stormy winds do blow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61639]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the stormy winds do blow; When the battle rages loud and long,  And the stormy winds do blow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61639</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No degree of knowledge attainable by man is able to set him above the want of hourly assistance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11923]]></link><description><![CDATA[No degree of knowledge attainable by man is able to set him above the want of hourly assistance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11923</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The (steam) sterilizers right now use 9,000 watts of electricity each, and these will be down to 1,500 watts apiece. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41822]]></link><description><![CDATA[The (steam) sterilizers right now use 9,000 watts of electricity each, and these will be down to 1,500 watts apiece.
