And if a man knows the law, people will find it out, tho he live in a pine shanty, and resort to him. And if a man can pipe or sing, so as to wrap the prisoned soul in an elysium; or can paint landscape, and convey into oils and ochers all the enchantments of spring or autumn; or can liberate or intoxicate all people who hear him with delicious songs and verses, 'tis certain that the secret can not be kept: the first witness tells it to a second, and men go by fives and tens and fifties to his door.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58143</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a deal that started out 24 years ago with three or four of us that were tired of sitting ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37670]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's a deal that started out 24 years ago with three or four of us that were tired of sitting around watching football games.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A clown sees life simply, without complications. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8925]]></link><description><![CDATA[A clown sees life simply, without complications.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8925</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The heart of the wise in in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in the house ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48563]]></link><description><![CDATA[The heart of the wise in in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Swithun, Bishop of Winchester, c.862 Commemoration of Bonaventure, Franciscan Friar, Bishop, Peacemaker, 1274  We must frankly face ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8127]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Swithun, Bishop of Winchester, c.862 Commemoration of Bonaventure, Franciscan Friar, Bishop, Peacemaker, 1274  We must frankly face the fact that there is in this teaching a revolutionary element which could be dangerously subversive of our existing ways of thought. Let us admit that it is part of the fallen human nature of ecclesiastics, no less than of others in responsible positions, to desire always criteria of judgement which can be used without making too heavy demands upon the delicate faculty of spiritual discernment, clear-cut rules by which we may hope to be saved from making mistakes -- or rather, from being obviously and personally responsible for the mistakes. We are uncomfortable without definite principles by which we may guide our steps. We fear uncharted country, and the fanatics of all kinds who, upon the alleged authority of the Holy Spirit, summon us with strident cries in all directions simultaneously. Only those who have never borne the heavy burden of pastoral responsibility will mock at the cautious spirit of the ecclesiastic.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43225]]></link><description><![CDATA[All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43225</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Say not always what you know, but always know what you say. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52497]]></link><description><![CDATA[Say not always what you know, but always know what you say.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success is counted sweetest By those who ne'er succeed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58138]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success is counted sweetest By those who ne'er succeed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For there is no friend like a sister, in calm or stormy weather, to cheer one on the tedious way, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56476]]></link><description><![CDATA[For there is no friend like a sister, in calm or stormy weather, to cheer one on the tedious way, to fetch one if one goes astray, to lift one if one totters down, to strengthen whilst one stands.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56476</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm excited to be part of this generation.

Let us not think of it vaguely, and fall into the heretical fancy that the Son of God became man merely to transact certain things which were necessary to secure the salvation of men, and that after this object was achieved His human nature recedes into the background and impenetrable obscurity. No, it is not so; all-important as His work on earth was -- the only foundation of our hope and blessedness -- let us adore the revealed mystery that God gave us His Son, never to recall Him, as it were, and take Him away from us; He spared Him not and gave Him to us, allowing Him to become man, exalting Him as the Son of Man, enthroning Him because of his obedience unto death, and giving unto Him as the Son of Man all power in heaven and earth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Twas when young Eustace wore his heart in's breeches. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58558]]></link><description><![CDATA['Twas when young Eustace wore his heart in's breeches.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pride (of all others the most dang'rous fault) Proceeds from want of sense, or want of thought. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48193]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pride (of all others the most dang'rous fault) Proceeds from want of sense, or want of thought.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of William Wilberforce, Social Reformer, 1833  The generality of nominal Christians... are almost entirely taken up with the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7185]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of William Wilberforce, Social Reformer, 1833  The generality of nominal Christians... are almost entirely taken up with the concerns of the present world. They know indeed that they are mortal, but they do not feel it. The truth rests in their understandings, and cannot gain admission into their hearts. This speculative persuasion is altogether different from that strong practical impression of the infinite importance of eternal things, which, attended with a proportionate sense of the shortness and uncertainty of all below, while it prompts to activity from a conviction that the night cometh when no man can work, produces a certain firmness of texture, which hardens us against the buffetings of fortune, and prevents our being very deeply penetrated by the cares and interests, the good or evil, of this transitory state.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was just happy to get a few balls over the net and let my partner run around. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37348]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was just happy to get a few balls over the net and let my partner run around.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37348</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I asked [my father] what there was to make doctoring more disgusting than nursing, which women were always doing, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34411]]></link><description><![CDATA[I asked [my father] what there was to make doctoring more disgusting than nursing, which women were always doing, and which ladies had done publicly in the Crimea.
