And this often in all sincerity. But, at other times, we are not really much disturbed about it; or, at least, not nearly so much as our heaped-up language would imply. What we imagine that we are achieving through this unreality I do not know. We shall not fool the All-wise; nor induce Him to believe that we are anything other, or better, than we actually are! Were it not saner to tell Him the truth, exactly as it is -- not that we are overwhelmed with sorrow for our sinfulness, if it is not so; but rather this, that, to all our other sinfulness, we have added this last and crowning sinfulness, that we are not much worried about it, or, at least, not nearly as much as we ought to be. Be pleased, in pity, to grant us such measure of sorrow for our failures as will lead us to a true repentance; and, through that, to a new way of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is one of man's curious idiosyncrasies to create difficulties for the pleasure of resolving them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12230]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is one of man's curious idiosyncrasies to create difficulties for the pleasure of resolving them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No coffee can be good in the mouth that does not first send a sweet offering of odor to the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62870]]></link><description><![CDATA[No coffee can be good in the mouth that does not first send a sweet offering of odor to the nostrils.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62870</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But it is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52168]]></link><description><![CDATA[But it is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52168</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[of thought. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26977]]></link><description><![CDATA[of thought.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26977</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The legislators will also continue to dictate what types of security measures must be taken in order to prevent unauthorized ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39201]]></link><description><![CDATA[The legislators will also continue to dictate what types of security measures must be taken in order to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive company information.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To-night, at least, to-night be gay, Whate'er to-morrow brings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50682]]></link><description><![CDATA[To-night, at least, to-night be gay, Whate'er to-morrow brings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50682</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The value of a principle is the number of things it will explain; and there is no good theory of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60357]]></link><description><![CDATA[The value of a principle is the number of things it will explain; and there is no good theory of disease which does not at once suggest a cure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, say! what is that thing call'd light, Which I must ne'er enjoy?  What are the blessings of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4336]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, say! what is that thing call'd light, Which I must ne'er enjoy?  What are the blessings of the sight?   Oh, tell your poor blind boy!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every criticism, judgment, diagnosis, and expression of anger is the tragic expression of an unmet need. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62789]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every criticism, judgment, diagnosis, and expression of anger is the tragic expression of an unmet need.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62789</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With our short sight we affect to take a comprehensive view of eternity.
