It is hard, under the pressure of haste, uneasiness, ill-temper, self-complacency, and conceit, to continue intending justice. Power corrupts; the "insolence of office" will creep in. We see it so clearly in our superiors; is it unlikely that our inferiors see it in us? How many of those who have been over us did not sometimes (perhaps often) need our forgiveness? Be sure that we likewise need the forgiveness of those that are under us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the experts bought his first piece at the age of four, so they did start very young, most ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42537]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the experts bought his first piece at the age of four, so they did start very young, most of them.

But there is a saner sense in which the Bible -- since it is, after all, literature -- cannot properly be read except as literature, and the different parts of it as the different sorts of literature they are. Most emphatically, the Psalms must be read as poems -- as lyrics, with all the licenses and all the formalities, the hyperboles, the emotional rather than logical connections, which are proper to lyric poetry... Otherwise we shall miss what is in them and think we see what is not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a job's worth doing, it's too hard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18730]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a job's worth doing, it's too hard.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18730</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who avoids complaint invites happiness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63866]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who avoids complaint invites happiness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63866</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't be truly rude until you understand good manners. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26348]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can't be truly rude until you understand good manners.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26348</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The descent to the infernal regions is easy enough, but to retrace one's steps, and reach the air above, there's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51827]]></link><description><![CDATA[The descent to the infernal regions is easy enough, but to retrace one's steps, and reach the air above, there's the rub.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51827</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To fight is a radical instinct; if men have nothing else to fight over they will fight over words, fancies, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15672]]></link><description><![CDATA[To fight is a radical instinct; if men have nothing else to fight over they will fight over words, fancies, or women, or they will fight because they dislike each other's looks, or because they have met walking in opposite directions]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A dwarf standing on the shoulders of a giant may see farther than a giant himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27681]]></link><description><![CDATA[A dwarf standing on the shoulders of a giant may see farther than a giant himself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27681</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Try out your ideas by visualizing them in action. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60890]]></link><description><![CDATA[Try out your ideas by visualizing them in action.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60890</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't know what we'd do if they go out of business. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37961]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't know what we'd do if they go out of business.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37961</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've had enough success for two lifetimes, my success is talent put together with hard work and luck. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39416]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've had enough success for two lifetimes, my success is talent put together with hard work and luck.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wise are those who learn that the bottom line doesn't always have to be their top priority. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5036]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wise are those who learn that the bottom line doesn't always have to be their top priority.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5036</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66519]]></link><description><![CDATA[In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Twilight's soft dews steal o'er the village-green, With magic tints to harmonize the scene.  Stilled is the hum that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59932]]></link><description><![CDATA[Twilight's soft dews steal o'er the village-green, With magic tints to harmonize the scene.  Stilled is the hum that through the hamlet broke   When round the ruins of their ancient oak    The peasants flocked to hear the minstrel play,     And games and carols closed the busy day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Imagine books and music and movies being filtered and homogenized.
