As if we were trying to make rather than to learn.

The Stoics tried the hopeless little game of denying its objective reality, or of declaring it a good in itself (which it never is); and the Pessimists attempted to revel in it, as a food to their melancholy, and as something that can no more be transformed than it can be avoided or explained. But Christ came, and He did not really explain it; He did far more: He met it, willed it, transformed it; and He taught us to do all this -- or, rather, He Himself does it within us, if we do not hinder the all-healing hands.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Neither a wise man nor a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/325]]></link><description><![CDATA[Neither a wise man nor a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train of the future to run over him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/325</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is the freeman whom the truth makes free, And all are slaves besides. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16676]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is the freeman whom the truth makes free, And all are slaves besides.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16676</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You tell your doctor, that y' are ill And what does he, but write a bill,  Of which you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26710]]></link><description><![CDATA[You tell your doctor, that y' are ill And what does he, but write a bill,  Of which you need not read one letter,   The worse the scrawl, the dose the better.    For if you knew but what you take,     Though you recover, he must break.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money dishonestly acquired is never worth its cost, while a good conscience never costs as much as it is worth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42979]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money dishonestly acquired is never worth its cost, while a good conscience never costs as much as it is worth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even the weakest is thrust to the wall. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61341]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even the weakest is thrust to the wall.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61341</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Eglantine Jebb, Social Reformer, Founder of 'Save the Children', 1928  Let a clergyman but intend to please ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7125]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Eglantine Jebb, Social Reformer, Founder of 'Save the Children', 1928  Let a clergyman but intend to please God in all his actions, as the happiest and best thing in the world, and then he will know that there is nothing noble in a clergyman but a burning zeal for the salvation of souls;
