If a Livie or a Guicciardine, or such extensive and voluminous authors had had this story in hand, God must have made another world, to have made them a library to hold their books, of the making of this world. Into what wire would they have drawn out this earth! Into what leaf-gold would they have beat out these heavens! It may assist our conjecture herein, to consider, that amongst those men, who proceed with a sober modesty and limitation in their writing, & make a conscience not to clog the world with unnecessary books, yet the volumes which are written by them, upon the beginning of Genesis, are scarce less than infinite. God did no more but say, Let this & this be done; and Moses doth no more but say, that upon God's saying it was done. God required not Nature to help him to do it; Moses required not Reason to help him believe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most of us serve our ideals by fits and starts.

Unknown  Stop the mindless wishing that things would be different. Rather than wasting time and emotional and spiritual energy in explaining why we don't have what we want, we can start to pursue other ways to get it. •Greg Anderson   A man of the world must seem to be what he wishes to be thought. •Jean De La Bruyère   Wishes expand in direct proportion to the resources available for their gratification. •Robert Dato  A wish is a desire without an attempt. •Farmer Digest  Oh, the secret life of man and woman -- dreaming how much better we would be than we are if we were somebody else or even ourselves, and feeling that our estate has been unexploited to its fullest. •Zelda Fitzgerald  Men try to run life according to their wishes; life runs itself according to necessity. •Jean Toomer  Some people develop a wishbone where their backbone should be. •Anonymous  Indeed, man wishes to be happy even when he so lives as to make happiness impossible. •St. Augustine   When you love someone all your saved-up wishes start coming out. •Elizabeth Bowen   Whoever, in middle age, attempts to realize the wishes and hopes of his early youth, invariably deceives himself. Each ten years of a man's life has its own fortunes, its own hopes, its own desires. •Goethe   Destiny grants us our wishes, but in its own way, in order to give us something beyond our wishes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We did a good job of working the counts and getting good pitches to hit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37288]]></link><description><![CDATA[We did a good job of working the counts and getting good pitches to hit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37288</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24816]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Speake fitly, or be silent wisely. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49761]]></link><description><![CDATA[Speake fitly, or be silent wisely.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49761</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're playing it all over our radio stations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29820]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're playing it all over our radio stations.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29820</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think it's just something to mislead the jury.
