They think a saying of Epictetus, or Seneca, or Arrianus, being wittily suited to their fancies and affections, to have more life and power in it than any precept of the Gospel. The reason why these things are more pleasing unto them than the commands and instructions of Christ is because, proceeding from the spring of natural light, they are suited to the workings of natural fancy and understanding; but those of Christ, proceeding from the fountain of eternal spiritual light, are not comprehended in their beauty and excellency without a principle of the same light in us, guiding our understanding and influencing our affections. Hence, take any precept, general or particular, about moral duties, that is materially the same in the writings of philosophers and in the doctrine of the Gospel; not a few prefer it as delivered in the first way before the latter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I tell him, if a clergyman, he lies! If captains the remark, or critics, make,  Why they lie also--under ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26113]]></link><description><![CDATA[I tell him, if a clergyman, he lies! If captains the remark, or critics, make,  Why they lie also--under a mistake.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26113</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In labouring to be concise, I become obscure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4878]]></link><description><![CDATA[In labouring to be concise, I become obscure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You know that when I hate you, it is because I love you to a point of passion that unhinges ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18869]]></link><description><![CDATA[You know that when I hate you, it is because I love you to a point of passion that unhinges my soul.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18869</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greater your capacity to love, the greater your capacity to feel the pain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5391]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greater your capacity to love, the greater your capacity to feel the pain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Praising what is lost Makes the remembrance dear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25591]]></link><description><![CDATA[Praising what is lost Makes the remembrance dear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25591</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Farmers are pretty efficient, and grow a pretty good crop.

It is not some crack in an otherwise flawless stone. It is, quite spectacularly I think, art which is not based on the subjugation of one half of the species. It is art which will take the great human themes --love, death, heroism, suffering, history itself --and render them fully human. It may also, though perhaps our imaginations are so mutilated now that we are incapable even of the ambition, introduce a new theme, one as great and as rich as those others --should we call it "joy"?.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ninety percent of the world's woe comes from people not knowing themselves, their abilities, their frailties, and even their real ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59718]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ninety percent of the world's woe comes from people not knowing themselves, their abilities, their frailties, and even their real virtues.

Again and again in the Pentateuch, the psalms, the prophets, and the subsequent writings which derive from them, the claim is made that the creator of the entire universe has chosen to live uniquely on a small ridge called Mount Zion, near the eastern edge of the Judean hill-country. The sheer absurdity of this claim, from the standpoint of any other worldview (not least that of Enlightenment philosophy), is staggering. The fact that Assyria, Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Egypt again, Syria and now Rome had made explicit mockery of the idea did not shake this conviction, but only intensified it. This was what Jewish monotheism looked like on the ground.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To brand man with infamy, and let him free, is an absurdity that peoples our forests with assassins. [Fr., Rendre ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24692]]></link><description><![CDATA[To brand man with infamy, and let him free, is an absurdity that peoples our forests with assassins. [Fr., Rendre l'homme infame, et le laisser libre, est une absurdite qui peuple nos forets d'assassins.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even I don't wake up looking like Cindy Crawford. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2887]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even I don't wake up looking like Cindy Crawford.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2887</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What seems to be generosity is often no more than disguised ambition, which overlooks a small interest in order to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12533]]></link><description><![CDATA[What seems to be generosity is often no more than disguised ambition, which overlooks a small interest in order to secure a great one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My suspicion, in England at least, is that the more charitable view will prevail. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42549]]></link><description><![CDATA[My suspicion, in England at least, is that the more charitable view will prevail.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To acquire balance means to achieve that happy medium between the minimum and the maximum that represents your optimum.
