I shall not entirely die. The greater part of me shall escape oblivion. [Lat., Exegi monumentum aera perennius  Regalique situ pyramidum altius,   Quod non imber edax, non Aquilo impotens    Possit diruere aut innumerabilis     Annorum series et fuga temporum.      Non omnis moriar, multaque pars mei       Vitabit Libitinam.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43042</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I like nonsense -- it wakes up the brain cells.

And the chief of them is this: "Do not lie to God." And that curt piece of advice, so bluntly thrown down for us, is indeed all-important. Do not burn false fire upon God's altar; do not pose and pretend, either to Him or to yourself, in your religious exercises; do not say more than you mean, or use exagerated language that goes beyond the facts, when speaking to Him whose word is truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The smaller the mind the greater the conceit ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28486]]></link><description><![CDATA[The smaller the mind the greater the conceit]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28486</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We think the downside risk here is modest.

The Christian is not a homo religiosus but a man, pure and simple, just as Jesus became man... It is only by living completely in this world that one learns to believe. One must abandon every attempt to make something of oneself, whether it be a saint, a converted sinner, a churchman, a righteous man, or an unrighteous one, a sick man or a healthy one... This is what I mean by worldliness -- taking life in one's stride, with all its duties and problems, its successes and failures, its experiences and helplessness... How can success make us arrogant or failure lead us astray, when we participate in the sufferings of God by living in this world?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[C.

We thank Thee for this place in which we dwell; for the love that unites us; for the peace accorded us this day; for the hope with which we expect the morrow; for the health, the work, the food, and the bright skies that make our lives delightful; for our friends in all parts of the earth, and our friendly helpers in this foreign isle [Samoa]... Give us courage, gaiety, and the quiet mind. Spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies. Bless us, if it may be, in all our innocent endeavors. If it may not be, give us the strength to encounter that which is to come, that we be brave in peril, constant in tribulation, temperate in wrath, and in all changes of fortune and down to the gates of death, loyal and loving to one another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are decent 99 percent of the time, when we could easily be vile. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11575]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are decent 99 percent of the time, when we could easily be vile.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't want to drag foreign ministers to Brussels, but if we he have to, we will. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39012]]></link><description><![CDATA[We don't want to drag foreign ministers to Brussels, but if we he have to, we will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39012</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For what is liberty but the unhampered translation of will into act? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24709]]></link><description><![CDATA[For what is liberty but the unhampered translation of will into act?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24709</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62068]]></link><description><![CDATA[All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled hearing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62068</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm really not worried about it.
