The sun and moon I saw, And reverential awe Subdued me day and night,  "I am the perfect light." Within a lifeless stone -- All other gods unknown -- I sought Divinity,  "The Corner-stone am I." For sacrificial feast I slaughtered man and beast, Red recompense to gain.  "So I a Lamb was slain." "Yea, such My hungering Grace That whereso'er My face Is hidden, none may grope  Beyond eternal Hope.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6543</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is kindness immediately to refuse what you intend to deny. [Lat., Pars beneficii est, quod petitur, si cito neges.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23765]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is kindness immediately to refuse what you intend to deny. [Lat., Pars beneficii est, quod petitur, si cito neges.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23765</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Panic is a sudden desertion of us, and a going over to the enemy of our imagination. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44306]]></link><description><![CDATA[Panic is a sudden desertion of us, and a going over to the enemy of our imagination.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never, believe me, Appear the Immortals,  Never alone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17745]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never, believe me, Appear the Immortals,  Never alone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17745</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18961]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what you'd rather not. thanks to Alan Bennett -Mark Twain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18961</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thus conscience does make cowards of us all; And thus the native hue of resolution  Is sicklied o'er with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51263]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thus conscience does make cowards of us all; And thus the native hue of resolution  Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,   And enterprises of great pitch and moment,    With this regard their currents turn awry,     And lose the name of action.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who the hell wants to hear actors talk? -- H.M.

But I loved them better and better -- and still I knew how little was my love for them compared to Christ's. It is easy enough for a man to be honest and a "Good Christian" and keeper of "the moral law", when he has his own little room, his purse well filled -- when he is well shod and well fed. It is far less easy for a man who has to live from day to day, roaming from city to city, from factory to factory. It is far less easy for someone just out of jail, with nothing to wear but old down-at-the-heels shoes and a shirt in rags. All of a sudden, I understood our Lord's words: "I was in prison ... and you visited me not." All these men, lazy, outside the law, starving: these failures of all kinds -- they were dear to Christ -- they were Christ, waiting in prison for someone to lean over Him -- and if we were true Christians, we would do them every kindness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thus our democracy was from an early period the most aristocratic, and our aristocracy the most democratic. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11877]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thus our democracy was from an early period the most aristocratic, and our aristocracy the most democratic.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11877</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our confidence isn't as good as it was in the beginning, but we're getting there.

It is illogical to tell men that they must do the will of God and accept his gospel of grace, if you also tell them that the obligation has no eternal significance, and that nothing ultimately depends on it. The curious modern heresy that everything is bound to come right in the end is so frivolous that I will not insult you by refuting it. "I remember," said Dr. [Samuel] Johnson on one occasion, "that my Maker has said that he will place the sheep on his right hand and the goats on his left." That is a solemn truth which only the empty-headed and empty-hearted will neglect. It strikes at the very roots of life and destiny.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better to die ten thousand deaths, Than wound my honour. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19705]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better to die ten thousand deaths, Than wound my honour.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19705</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gratitude - the meanest and most snivelling attribute in the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18150]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gratitude - the meanest and most snivelling attribute in the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who wooed in haste, and means to wed at leisure. -The Taming of the Shrew.

Even though much of what we have exists only as a series of ones and zeroes somewhere in the information sphere, we do get paper copies and we should hang on to those. The movie 'The Net,' I think, makes a very intriguing point, about this very computer literate protagonist who has few human connections, and this is precisely the reason she's vulnerable to the kind of attack she suffers.
