The term fast has no meaning apart from the term slow. In addition such terms have no meaning even when used together, except when confined to a very particular situation... most of our language about the organization and objective's of government is made up of such polar terms. Justice and injustice are typical. A reformer who wants to abolish injustice and create a world in which nothing but justice prevails is like a man who wants to make everything up. Such a man might feel that if he took the lowest in the world and carried it up to the highest point and kept on doing this, everything would eventually become up. This would certainly move a great many objects and create an enormous amount of activity. It might or might not be useful, according to the standards which we apply. However it would never result in the abolishment of down.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no true orator who is not a hero. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45232]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no true orator who is not a hero.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Alphege, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1012  So long as we are full of self, we are shocked ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7801]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Alphege, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1012  So long as we are full of self, we are shocked at the faults of others.

Do not take up the vain excuse of your rawness of inexperience which you may imagine or assume. For sterile modesty is never pleasing, nor that humility laudable which passes the bounds of reason. Attend to your work; drive out bashfulness by a sense of duty, and act as a master... But I am not sufficient for these things, you say. As if your offering were not accepted from what you have, and not from what you have not. Be prepared to answer for the single talent committed to your charge, and take no thought for the test... For he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. Give all, as assuredly you shall pay to the uttermost farthing; but of a truth out of what you have, not what you have not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7462</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We all do 'do, re, mi,' but you have got to find the other notes yourself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41061]]></link><description><![CDATA[We all do 'do, re, mi,' but you have got to find the other notes yourself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41061</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reason is the test of ridicule, not ridicule the test of truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53125]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reason is the test of ridicule, not ridicule the test of truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53125</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Believing nothing does whilst there remained anything else to be done. [Lat., Nil actum credens, dum quid superesset agendum.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44670]]></link><description><![CDATA[Believing nothing does whilst there remained anything else to be done. [Lat., Nil actum credens, dum quid superesset agendum.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But the standing toast that pleased me most Was, "The wind that blows, the ship that goes,  And the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59387]]></link><description><![CDATA[But the standing toast that pleased me most Was, "The wind that blows, the ship that goes,  And the lass that loves a sailor!"]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This would be one time to take it to a commercial car wash. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40430]]></link><description><![CDATA[This would be one time to take it to a commercial car wash.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40430</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They appeal to people who want something that's going to last and survive the elements and at the same time ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42573]]></link><description><![CDATA[They appeal to people who want something that's going to last and survive the elements and at the same time make a strong fashion statement when paired with jeans or a skirt.
