If you come near them and see what conceits they entertain--they are abstractionists, and spend their days and nights in dreaming some dream; in expecting the homage of society to some precious scheme built on a truth, but destitute of proportion in its presentment, of justness in its application, and of all energy of will in the schemer to embody and vitalize it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58019</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm from the city.

He was not indifferent to observances, but the practices of the people bulked in His thoughts before the practices of the Church. It has been pointed out as a blemish on the immortal allegory of Bunyan that the Pilgrim never did anything -- anything but save his soul. The remark is scarcely fair, for the allegory is designedly the story of a soul in a single relation; and, besides, he did do a little. But the warning may well be weighed. The Pilgrim's one thought, his work by day, his dream by night, was escape. He took little part in the world through which he passed. He was a Pilgrim travelling through it; his business was to get through safe. Whatever this is, it is not Christianity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only in growth, reform, and change, paradoxically enough, is true security to be found. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55030]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only in growth, reform, and change, paradoxically enough, is true security to be found.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was mostly interested in it as a theatrical film.
