If we walk with our eyes down, looking at what is happening right now in our lives, we are likely to waver and fall. However, if we focus at the end of the rope, where God and Heaven await us, we can see past all of the petty troubles this present life and walk more steadily. We may sometimes still stumble, but if we get back up and train our eyes on God once again, He will guide us to the end.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Certainly the notion of putting music video on phones will increase over time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39337]]></link><description><![CDATA[Certainly the notion of putting music video on phones will increase over time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The trouble in America is not that we are making too many mistakes, but that we are making too few. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53326]]></link><description><![CDATA[The trouble in America is not that we are making too many mistakes, but that we are making too few.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most scientists - no matter what they're doing, good or bad - never get any attention at all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41398]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most scientists - no matter what they're doing, good or bad - never get any attention at all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41398</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One joy scatters a hundred griefs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23443]]></link><description><![CDATA[One joy scatters a hundred griefs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63750]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63750</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Euphemisms are not, as many young people think, useless verbiage for that which can and should be said bluntly; they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1078]]></link><description><![CDATA[Euphemisms are not, as many young people think, useless verbiage for that which can and should be said bluntly; they are like secret agents on a delicate mission, they must airily pass by a stinking mess with barely so much as a nod of the head, make their point of constructive criticism and continue on in calm forbearance.

What other virtue can there be in fifty-one percent except the brute fact that fifty-one is more than forty-nine? The rule of fifty-one per cent is a convenience, it is for certain matters a satisfactory political device, it is for others the lesser of two evils, and for others it is acceptable because we do not know any less troublesome method of obtaining a political decision. But it may easily become an absurd tyranny if we regard it worshipfully, as though it were more than a political device. We have lost all sense of its true meaning when we imagine that the opinion of fifty-one per cent is in some high fashion the true opinion of the whole hundred per cent, or indulge in the sophistry that the rule of a majority is based upon the ultimate equality of man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would rather be able to appreciate things I cannot have than to have things I am not able to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58652]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would rather be able to appreciate things I cannot have than to have things I am not able to appreciate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hide our ignorance as we will, an evening of wine soon reveals it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64898]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hide our ignorance as we will, an evening of wine soon reveals it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64898</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From you have I been absent in the spring, When proud-pied April, dressed in all his trim,  Hath put ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2992]]></link><description><![CDATA[From you have I been absent in the spring, When proud-pied April, dressed in all his trim,  Hath put a spirit of youth in everything,   That heavy Saturn laughed and leapt with him;    Yet nor the lays of birds, not the sweet smell     Of different flowers in odor and in hue,      Could make me any summer's story tell,       Or from their proud lap pluck them where they grew:        Nor did I wonder at the lily's white,         Nor praise the deep vermilion in the rose;          They were but sweet, but figures of delight,           Drawn after you, you pattern of all those.            Yet seemed it winter still, and you away,             As with your shadow I with these did play.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My wife met me at the door the other night in a sexy negligee.Unfortunately, she was just coming home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21335]]></link><description><![CDATA[My wife met me at the door the other night in a sexy negligee.Unfortunately, she was just coming home.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21335</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The future starts today, not tomorrow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66585]]></link><description><![CDATA[The future starts today, not tomorrow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If all fooles had babies, wee should want fuell. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49506]]></link><description><![CDATA[If all fooles had babies, wee should want fuell.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Calvin, renewer of the Church, 1564  However these deeds of men are judged in themselves, still ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7510]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Calvin, renewer of the Church, 1564  However these deeds of men are judged in themselves, still the Lord accomplished his work through them alike when he broke the bloody scepters of arrogant kings and when he overturned intolerable governments. Let the princes hear and be afraid. But we must, in the meantime, be very careful not to despise or violate that authority of magistrates, full of venerable majesty, which God has established by the weightiest decrees, even though it may reside with the most unworthy men, who defile it as much as they can with their own wickedness. For, if the correction of unbridled despotism is the Lord's to avenge, let us not at once think that it is entrusted to us, to whom no command has been given except to obey and suffer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great men stand like solitary towers in the city of God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18266]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great men stand like solitary towers in the city of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything that people say is testable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64326]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything that people say is testable.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything else has gone OK, but the salaries are the sticking point. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41150]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything else has gone OK, but the salaries are the sticking point.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than those attending too small a degree of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24739]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than those attending too small a degree of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24739</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A favour is half granted, when graciously refused. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51570]]></link><description><![CDATA[A favour is half granted, when graciously refused.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more thou stir it the worse it will be. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48810]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more thou stir it the worse it will be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man is as Heaven made him, and sometimes a great deal worse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52397]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every man is as Heaven made him, and sometimes a great deal worse.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not a flower But shows some touch, in freckle, streak or stain,  Of his unrivall'd pencil. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16262]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not a flower But shows some touch, in freckle, streak or stain,  Of his unrivall'd pencil.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From what we've been seeing tonight, we'll definitely do it again.
