What deeds of death to still an hour of fears, What waste of wealth to gild a moth's frail wings!  A Caesar to the breeze his banner flings,  An Alexander with his bloody spears,  A Herod heedless of his people's tears!  And Rome in ruin while Nero laughs and sings:  Ye actors of a drama, cruel and cold,  Your names are by-words in Love's temple now,  Your pomp and glory but a winding-sheet;  Then Christ came scorning regal power and gold  To wear warm blood-drops on a willing brow,  And we, in love, forever kiss His feet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This autonomy of man, this attempt of the Ego to understand itself out of itself, is the lie concerning man ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6222]]></link><description><![CDATA[This autonomy of man, this attempt of the Ego to understand itself out of itself, is the lie concerning man which we call sin. The truth about man is that his ground is not in himself but in God -- that his essence is not in self sufficient reason but in the Word, in the challenge of God, in responsibility, not in self-sufficiency. The true being of man is realized when he bases himself upon God's Word. Faith is then not an impossibility or a salto mortale [mortal leap], but that which is truly natural; and the real salto mortale (a mortal leap indeed!) is just the assertion of autonomy, self-sufficiency, God-likeness. [It is] through this usurped independence [that] man separates himself from God, and at the same time isolates himself from his fellows. Individualism is the necessary consequence of rational autonomy, just as love is the necessary consequence of faith.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Buying books would be a good thing if one could also buy the time to read them in: but as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5158]]></link><description><![CDATA[Buying books would be a good thing if one could also buy the time to read them in: but as a rule the purchase of books is mistaken for the appropriation of their contents.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5158</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How many unjust and wicked things are done from mere habit. [Lat., Quam multa injusta ac prava fiunt moribus!] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18538]]></link><description><![CDATA[How many unjust and wicked things are done from mere habit. [Lat., Quam multa injusta ac prava fiunt moribus!]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18538</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes only a change of viewpoint is needed to convert a tiresome dutyinto an interesting opportunity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21794]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes only a change of viewpoint is needed to convert a tiresome dutyinto an interesting opportunity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21794</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I have seen farther than others, it is because I was standing on the shoulders of giants. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60849]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I have seen farther than others, it is because I was standing on the shoulders of giants.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is more pleasurable than to sit in the shade, sip gin and contemplate other people's adulteries, and while the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/638]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is more pleasurable than to sit in the shade, sip gin and contemplate other people's adulteries, and while the wormy apple of marriage still lives, the novel will not die.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/638</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How sweet from the green mossy brim to receive it, As, poised on the curb, it inclined to my lips! ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61310]]></link><description><![CDATA[How sweet from the green mossy brim to receive it, As, poised on the curb, it inclined to my lips!  Not a full blushing goblet could tempt me to leave it,   The brightest that beauty or revelry sips.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is far more opportunity than there is ability. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45090]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is far more opportunity than there is ability.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45090</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You buy furniture.

He must cease to be George, Hans, Ivan or Tadao- a human atom with an existence bounded by birth and death. The most drastic way to achieve this end is by complete assimilation of the individual into a collective body. The fully assimilated individual does not see himself and others as human beings. When asked who he is, his automatic response is that he is a German, a Russian, a Japanese, a Christian, a Moslem, a member of a certain tribe or family. He has no purpose, worth and destiny apart from his collective body; and as long as that body lives he cannot really die.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We take the headache out of searching for and obtaining a loan.
