Not that we are bound to believe any thing against reason, that is, to believe, we know not why. It is but a slack opinion, it is not Belief, that is not grounded upon Reason. It is true, we have not a Demonstration; not such an Evidence as that one and two are three, to prove these to be Scriptures of God; God hath not proceeded in that manner, to drive our reason into a pound, and to force it by a peremptory necessity to accept these for Scriptures, for then, here had been no exercise of our Will, and our assent, if we could not have resisted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is probably no hell for authors in the next world--they suffer so much from critics and publishers in this. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3512]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is probably no hell for authors in the next world--they suffer so much from critics and publishers in this.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3512</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In great matters men show themselves as they wish to be seen; in small matters, as they are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22864]]></link><description><![CDATA[In great matters men show themselves as they wish to be seen; in small matters, as they are.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22864</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Well, to begin with, you can pray.

Pray!, you say scornfully, pray! I knew it would all fizzle out, and come to nothing. I could pray! Yes, you could pray, and, whatever you may think about it -- using it as a poor makeshift of a thing much lower than a second-best, not really a best at all, on which men fall back only when they can do nothing effectively, and are too fidgety to be able to do nothing at all -- Christ holds that prayer is a tremendous power which achieves what, without it, was a sheer impossibility. And this amazing thing you can set into operation. And the fact that you are not so using it, and simply don't believe in it and its efficiency and efficacy as our fathers did, and that so many nowadays agree with you, is certainly a major reason why the churches are so cold, and the promises seem so tardy of fulfillment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[MISERICORDE, n.

The vanquished Cock skulked away and hid himself in a quiet corner, while the conqueror, flying up to a high wall, flapped his wings and crowed exultingly with all his might. An Eagle sailing through the air pounced upon him and carried him off in his talons. The vanquished Cock immediately came out of his corner, and ruled henceforth with undisputed mastery. Pride goes before destruction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You don't love a woman because she is beautiful, but she is beautiful because you love her. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2195]]></link><description><![CDATA[You don't love a woman because she is beautiful, but she is beautiful because you love her.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2195</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Small showers last long, but sudden storms are short. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51502]]></link><description><![CDATA[Small showers last long, but sudden storms are short.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Denys, Bishop of Paris, & his Companions, Martyrs, 258 Commemoration of Robert Grosseteste, Bishop of Lincoln, Philosopher, Scientist, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7260]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Denys, Bishop of Paris, & his Companions, Martyrs, 258 Commemoration of Robert Grosseteste, Bishop of Lincoln, Philosopher, Scientist, 1253  Thou knowest how far Thou hast already changed me, who first healed me of the lust of vindicating myself, that so Thou mightest forgive all the rest of my iniquities, and heal all my infirmities, and redeem my life from corruption, and crown me with mercy and pity, and satisfy my desire with good things; who didst curb my pride with Thy fear, and tame my neck to Thy yoke. And now I bear it and it is light unto me, because so hast Thou promised, and hast made it; and verily it was so, and I knew it not, when I feared to take it.  ...

Blessed hills, that heard the song Of the glorious angel-throng, Swelling all your slopes along. Happy shepherds, on whose ear Fell the tidings glad and dear, "God to man is drawing near." Happy, happy, Bethlehem, Judah's least but brightest gem, Where the rod from Jesse's stem, Scion of a princely race, Sprung in Heaven's own perfect grace, Yet in feeble lowliness. This, the woman's promised seed, Abram's mighty Son indeed; Succourer of earth's great need. This the victor in our war, This the glory see afar, This the light of Jacob's star! Happy Judah, rise and own Him the heir of David's throne David's Lord, and David's Son. Let the dayspring from on high. That arose in Judah's sky. Cover earth eternally. Babe of Bethlehem, to Thee, Infant of eternity, Everlasting glory be!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My studies in Speculative philosophy, metaphysics, and science are all summed up in the image of a mouse called man ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27440]]></link><description><![CDATA[My studies in Speculative philosophy, metaphysics, and science are all summed up in the image of a mouse called man running in and out of every hole in the Cosmos hunting for the Absolute Cheese.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must adopt loathsome diseases for our familiar associates, or we shall never be thoroughly acquainted with their nature and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38357]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must adopt loathsome diseases for our familiar associates, or we shall never be thoroughly acquainted with their nature and dispositions; we must risk, nay even injure, our own health in order to be able to preserve or restore that of others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own.
