It is twice blest: It blesseth him that gives and him that takes. 'T is mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes The throned monarch better than his crown; His sceptre shows the force of temporal power, The attribute to awe and majesty, Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings; But mercy is above this sceptred sway, It is enthroned in the hearts of kings, It is an attribute to God himself; And earthly power doth then show likest God's, When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew, Though justice be thy plea, consider this, That in the course of justice none of us Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy; And that same prayer doth teach us all to render The deeds of mercy. -The Merchant of Venice. Act iv. Sc. 1.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commerce has set the mark of selfishness, The signet of its all-enslaving power  Upon a shining ore, and called ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17788]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commerce has set the mark of selfishness, The signet of its all-enslaving power  Upon a shining ore, and called it gold;   Before whose image bow the vulgar great,    The vainly rich, the miserable proud,     The mob of peasants, nobles, priests, and kings,      And with blind feelings reverence the power       That grinds them to the dust of misery.        But in the temple of their hireling hearts         Gold is a living god, and rules in scorn          All earthly things but virtue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17788</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To fish in troubled waters. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16120]]></link><description><![CDATA[To fish in troubled waters.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16120</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you have faults, do not fear to abandon them ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15435]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you have faults, do not fear to abandon them]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a really unique opportunity to swim a huge river like this.

TheChrysalis moved its tail, and thus attracted the attention of the Ant,who then saw for the first time that it was alive. Poor, pitiableanimal! cried the Ant disdainfully. What a sad fate is yours!While I can run hither and thither, at my pleasure, and, if I wish,ascend the tallest tree, you lie imprisoned here in your shell, withpower only to move a joint or two of your scaly tail. The Chrysalisheard all this, but did not try to make any reply. A few days after,when the Ant passed that way again, nothing but the shell remained.Wondering what had become of its contents, he felt himself suddenlyshaded and fanned by the gorgeous wings of a beautiful Butterfly.Behold in me, said the Butterfly, your much-pitied friend! Boastnow of your powers to run and climb as long as you can get me tolisten. So saying, the Butterfly rose in the air, and, borne alongand aloft on the summer breeze, was soon lost to the sight of theAnt forever.Appearances are deceptive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1505</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success is determined by those whom prove the impossible, possible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58159]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success is determined by those whom prove the impossible, possible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest Glory of a free-born People, Is to transmit that Freedom to their Children. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47454]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest Glory of a free-born People, Is to transmit that Freedom to their Children.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The longer I live, the more faith I have in Providence, and the less faith in my interpretation of Providence ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51904]]></link><description><![CDATA[The longer I live, the more faith I have in Providence, and the less faith in my interpretation of Providence]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Simple is better. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12112]]></link><description><![CDATA[Simple is better.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12112</guid></item></channel></rss>
