The purpose of mushrooms is to be mushrooms, wine is in order to wine: things are precious before they are contributory. It is a false piety that walks through creation looking only for lessons which can be applied somewhere else. To be sure, God remains the greatest good; but, for all that, the world is still good in itself. Indeed, since He does not need it, its whole reason for being must lie in its own natural goodness; He has no use for it, only delight.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6471</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music is a higher revelation than philosophy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43538]]></link><description><![CDATA[Music is a higher revelation than philosophy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43538</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Slaves cannot breathe in England; if their lungs Receive our air, that moment they are free;  They touch our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56585]]></link><description><![CDATA[Slaves cannot breathe in England; if their lungs Receive our air, that moment they are free;  They touch our country, and their shackles fall.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A family on the throne is an interesting idea.

It was that sense which, without irreverence, I have thought to find expressed by the great evangelists when they speak of the fear of God. One does not fear God because He is terrible, but because He is literally the soul of goodness and truth, because to do Him wrong is to do wrong to some mysterious part of oneself, and one does not know exactly what the consequences may be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8414</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Spontaneously to God should turn the soul, Like the magnetic needle to the pole;  But what were that intrinsic ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20864]]></link><description><![CDATA[Spontaneously to God should turn the soul, Like the magnetic needle to the pole;  But what were that intrinsic virtue worth,   Suppose some fellow, with more zeal than knowledge,    Fresh from St. Andrew's College,     Should nail the conscious needle to the north?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20864</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And kind as kings upon their coronation day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54463]]></link><description><![CDATA[And kind as kings upon their coronation day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54463</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where the lion's skin falls short it must be eked out with the fox's. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11537]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where the lion's skin falls short it must be eked out with the fox's.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Over-preparation is the foe of inspiration ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48127]]></link><description><![CDATA[Over-preparation is the foe of inspiration]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think writing about unhappiness is probably the source of my popularity, if I have any-after all, most people are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60092]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think writing about unhappiness is probably the source of my popularity, if I have any-after all, most people are unhappy, don't you think?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything that I know I learned from AP Swoboda. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31405]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything that I know I learned from AP Swoboda.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the experts bought his first piece at the age of four, so they did start very young, most ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42537]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the experts bought his first piece at the age of four, so they did start very young, most of them.
