That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most confused we ever get is when we're trying to convince our heads of something our heart knows is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65526]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most confused we ever get is when we're trying to convince our heads of something our heart knows is a lie.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is this difference between happiness and wisdom, that he that thinks himself the happiest man, really is so; but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18687]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is this difference between happiness and wisdom, that he that thinks himself the happiest man, really is so; but he who thinks himself the wisest, is generally the greatest fool.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18687</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's important for us to have a major presence and visibility in downtown Dallas.

To possess a high spirit, to behave with proper spirit when used ill -- by which is meant, a quick feeling of injuries, and a promptness in resenting them -- entitles to commendation; and a meek-spirited disposition, the highest Scripture eulogium, expresses ideas of disapprobation and contempt. Vanity and vainglory are suffered without interruption to retain their natural possession of the heart.   ... William Wilberforce, A Practical View  July 31, 2000 Commemoration of Ignatius of Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus, 1556  Jesus used the term abba (which means father or "daddy" in his Aramaic mother tongue), as an address in his prayers to God.
