And that, queerly enough as you might think, the man was not discomfited but heartened. Here at last, he felt, is one who understands and knows the facts. And since His desperate diagnosis is so accurate, may not His optimism also justify itself even in me. Well does He know what is in human nature, and yet, knowing the worst, He still has confident hope.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8389</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The big news in this report is that children's status is improving and continuing to get better. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34094]]></link><description><![CDATA[The big news in this report is that children's status is improving and continuing to get better.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34094</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Had the crow only fed without cawing she would have had more to eat, and much less of strife and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50234]]></link><description><![CDATA[Had the crow only fed without cawing she would have had more to eat, and much less of strife and envy to contend with.

You put some of the virus of some dreadful illness into a man's arm, and there is a little itchiness, some scratchiness, a slight discomfort--disagreeable, no doubt, but not the fever of the real disease, the turning and the tossing, and the ebbing strength. And we have all been inoculated with Christianity, more or less. We are on Christ's side, we wish him well, we hope that He will win, and we are even prepared to do something for Him, provided, of course, that He is reasonable, and does not make too much of an upset among our cozy comforts and our customary ways. But there is not the passion of zeal, and the burning enthusiasm, and the eagerness of self-sacrifice, of the real faith that changes character and wins the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would rather walk with a friend in the dark, than alone in the light. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65641]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would rather walk with a friend in the dark, than alone in the light.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65641</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was not merely a chip of the old Block, but the old Block itself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5638]]></link><description><![CDATA[He was not merely a chip of the old Block, but the old Block itself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5638</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Example is a dangerous lure: where the wasp got through the gnat sticks fast. [Fr., L'exemple est un dangereux leurre; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14399]]></link><description><![CDATA[Example is a dangerous lure: where the wasp got through the gnat sticks fast. [Fr., L'exemple est un dangereux leurre;  Ou la guepe a passe, le moucheron demeure.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I despise mankind in all its strata; I foresee that our descendants will be still far unhappier than we are. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47844]]></link><description><![CDATA[I despise mankind in all its strata; I foresee that our descendants will be still far unhappier than we are.
