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[Goodness speaks in a whisper, evil shouts ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17866]]></link><description><![CDATA[Goodness speaks in a whisper, evil shouts]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17866</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are so many things that we wish we had done yesterday, so few that we feel like doing today. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20697]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are so many things that we wish we had done yesterday, so few that we feel like doing today.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When sorrows come, they come not single spies, But in battalions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51271]]></link><description><![CDATA[When sorrows come, they come not single spies, But in battalions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51271</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[However, we are not setting a new higher hurdle here. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41739]]></link><description><![CDATA[However, we are not setting a new higher hurdle here.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41739</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To warm their little loves the birds complain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4230]]></link><description><![CDATA[To warm their little loves the birds complain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Disarm, disarm.
