In them the Ancients personified living realities -- intelligence, beauty, love, or lust, which are still at work in our hearts, and which fashion our persons. The language they speak is that of image and myth, which touches the person much more directly than the explicit language of science and the intellectual dialectic of the modern world. It is also the language of the Bible, of the parables of Christ, which the rationalist of today finds it so difficult to understand, of the Word of God which demands of us not a discussion but a personal decision.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6655</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is no time for staring about. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51833]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is no time for staring about.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who try to lead the people can only do so by following the mob ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16432]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who try to lead the people can only do so by following the mob]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16432</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be able to practice five things everywhere under heaven constitutes perfect virtue.

It is easy, we think, to be loyal to a family and clan, whose blood is in your own veins.

I had made myself the centre of my own existence and had my back turned to God. All the beauty and truth which I had discovered had come to me as a reflection of his beauty, but I had kept my eyes fixed on the reflection and was always looking at myself. But God had brought me to the point at which I was compelled to turn away from the reflection, both of myself and of the world which could only mirror my own image. During that night the mirror had been broken, and I had felt abandoned because I could no longer gaze upon the image of my own reason and the finite world which it knew. God had brought me to my knees and made me acknowledge my own nothingness, and out of that knowledge I had been reborn. I was no longer the centre of my life and therefore I could see God in everything.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6469</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love and doubt have never been on speaking terms. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12741]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love and doubt have never been on speaking terms.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Words that weep, and tears that speak. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58793]]></link><description><![CDATA[Words that weep, and tears that speak.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58793</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These kinds of problems tend to cool investors' buying sentiment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39856]]></link><description><![CDATA[These kinds of problems tend to cool investors' buying sentiment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39856</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dentists are incapable of asking questions that require a simple yes or no answer ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11909]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dentists are incapable of asking questions that require a simple yes or no answer]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dead on the field of honour. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19703]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dead on the field of honour.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19703</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Smart women love smart men more than smart men love smart women. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26237]]></link><description><![CDATA[Smart women love smart men more than smart men love smart women.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26237</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't choose up sides on a round world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21511]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can't choose up sides on a round world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every now and then say, 'What the f***.'
