Prosperity has power to intoxicate the imagination, to fix the mind upon the present scene, to produce confidence and elation, and to make him who enjoys affluence and honors forget the hand by which they were bestowed. It is seldom that we are otherwise than by affliction awakened to a sense of our imbecility, or taught to know how little all our acquisitions can conduce to safety or quiet, and how justly we may inscribe to the superintendence of a higher power those blessings which in the wantonness of success we considered as the attainments of our policy and courage.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody has any doubt that ETA wanted to attack before the general elections, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29322]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nobody has any doubt that ETA wanted to attack before the general elections,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From the shore.. one looksupward to the sanddune grass.. 10,000green brushes attemptingwhere they laidto paint the blue skyjade. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3220]]></link><description><![CDATA[From the shore.. one looksupward to the sanddune grass.. 10,000green brushes attemptingwhere they laidto paint the blue skyjade.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3220</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good is god, but better carries it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49285]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good is god, but better carries it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49285</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['That is indisputable,' was the answer, 'but in this country it is a good thing to kill an admiral from ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25233]]></link><description><![CDATA['That is indisputable,' was the answer, 'but in this country it is a good thing to kill an admiral from time to time to encourage the others.']]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25233</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18640]]></link><description><![CDATA[But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18640</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in.

One very effective way of silencing the voice of conscience is to impound in an Ism the teacher through whom it speaks; the trumpet no longer seriously disturbs our rest when we have murmured '..Thomist', 'Barthian', or 'Existentialist'. And in Macdonald it is, always the voice of conscience that speaks. He addresses the will: the demand for obedience, for "something to be neither more nor less nor other than done" is incessant. Yet in that very voice of conscience every other faculty somehow speaks as well -- intellect and imagination and humour and fancy and all the affections; and no man in modern times was perhaps more aware of the distinction between Law and Gospel, the inevitable failure of mere morality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3168]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3168</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is neither good nor bad, but thinking makes it so. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59148]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is neither good nor bad, but thinking makes it so.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Zealous in the commencement, careless in the end. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51674]]></link><description><![CDATA[Zealous in the commencement, careless in the end.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happy the man who, removed from all cares of business, after the manner of his forefathers cultivates with his own ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50236]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happy the man who, removed from all cares of business, after the manner of his forefathers cultivates with his own team his paternal acres, freed from all thought of usury.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50236</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I praise the Frenchman; his remark was shrewd,-- "How sweet, how passing sweet is solitude."  But grant me still ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57172]]></link><description><![CDATA[I praise the Frenchman; his remark was shrewd,-- "How sweet, how passing sweet is solitude."  But grant me still a friend in my retreat,   Whom I may whisper--Solitude is sweet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57172</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People assume it's being tough on crime, but what you're doing is throwing these kids away.
