Our interest in it is not merely academic.

When we select for serious consideration those doctrines which "transcend" the thought of his own age and are "for all time", we are assuming that the thought of our age is correct: for of course by thoughts which transcend the great man's age we really mean thoughts that agree with ours. Thus I value Shakespeare's picture of the transformation in old Lear more than I value his views about the divine right of kings, because I agree with Shakespeare that a man can be purified by suffering like Lear, but do not believe that kings (or any other rulers) have divine right in the sense required. When the great man's views do not seem to us erroneous we do not value them the less for having been shared with his contemporaries. Shakespeare's disdain for treachery and Christ's blessing on the poor were not alien to the outlook of their respective periods; but no one wishes to discredit them on that account.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To swear, except when necessary, is becoming to an honorable man. [Lat., In totum jurare, nisi ubi necesse est, gravi ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58474]]></link><description><![CDATA[To swear, except when necessary, is becoming to an honorable man. [Lat., In totum jurare, nisi ubi necesse est, gravi viro parum convenit.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58474</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But who will watch my lilies, When their blossoms open white?  By day the sun shall be sentry,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25096]]></link><description><![CDATA[But who will watch my lilies, When their blossoms open white?  By day the sun shall be sentry,   And the moon and the stars by night!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25096</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When this project moves forward to a real hearing, there's going to be a significant outcry. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31147]]></link><description><![CDATA[When this project moves forward to a real hearing, there's going to be a significant outcry.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31147</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never take a job where winter winds can blow up your pants. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56326]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never take a job where winter winds can blow up your pants.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And thus I clothe my naked villany With old odd ends, stol'n out of holy writ,  And seem a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51508]]></link><description><![CDATA[And thus I clothe my naked villany With old odd ends, stol'n out of holy writ,  And seem a saint when most I play the devil.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51508</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They never would hear, But turn the deaf ear,  As a matter they had no concern in. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18992]]></link><description><![CDATA[They never would hear, But turn the deaf ear,  As a matter they had no concern in.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think what makes this a good team is that the chemistry is great.

As the Christian life is, above all things, a state of union with Christ, and of union of his followers with one another, love of the brethren is inseparable from love of God. Resentment toward any human being cannot exist in the same heart with love to God. The personal relationship to Christ can only be realized when one has "come to himself" as a member of His Body, the Christian fellowship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you love the sacred and despise the ordinary, you are still bobbing in the ocean of delusion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62359]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you love the sacred and despise the ordinary, you are still bobbing in the ocean of delusion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The human mind cannot create anything.
