It speaks to us... guides us... passion rules us all, and we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love... the clarity of hatred... and the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion maybe we'd know some kind of peace... but we would be hollow... Empty rooms shuttered and dank. Without passion we'd be truly dead.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11948</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Language is a city to the building of which every human being brought a stone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24058]]></link><description><![CDATA[Language is a city to the building of which every human being brought a stone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The big news in this report is that children's status is improving and continuing to get better. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34094]]></link><description><![CDATA[The big news in this report is that children's status is improving and continuing to get better.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34094</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Authority intoxicates, And makes mere sots of magistrates;  The fumes of it invade the brain,   And make ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3487]]></link><description><![CDATA[Authority intoxicates, And makes mere sots of magistrates;  The fumes of it invade the brain,   And make men giddy, proud, and vain.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cherish all your happy moments: they make a fine cushion for old age. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60346]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cherish all your happy moments: they make a fine cushion for old age.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60346</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A thousand years scarce serve to form a state; An hour may lay it in the dust. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17992]]></link><description><![CDATA[A thousand years scarce serve to form a state; An hour may lay it in the dust.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't throw away the old bucket until you know whether the new one holds water. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51884]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't throw away the old bucket until you know whether the new one holds water.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is awful.

Shortly afterwards the Bat again fell to the ground and was caught by another Weasel, whom he likewise entreated not to eat him. The Weasel said that he had a special hostility to mice.

Increasingly I rejoiced in the Gospel -- the amazing Good News -- that the Creator of what to us human beings is this bewildering and unimaginably vast universe, so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Everlasting life, I came to see, is not just continued existence, but a growing knowledge -- not merely intellectual but wondering through trust, love, and fellowship -- of Him who alone is truly God, and Jesus Christ whom He has sent.

But Jesus did believe in Him, was sure He is alive and abroad in the world; that, therefore, anything may happen any hour. And thus to Him any smallest incident was a magic casement opening upon who could tell what possibilities. A fisherman offers Him a crude, inchoate half-faith, and with that He is sure that He can found a world-wide Church that will defy the powers of evil, aye, and grind them into nothingness at last: a dying brigand, paying the just penalties of his crimes, gropes towards Him in the darkness with the vague hands of a blind man, and, founding upon that, Christ dies, quite sure that He has won: two or three Gentiles seek an interview with Him, and He sees a whole teeming world of men and women being saved.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7808</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The trouble with research is that it tells you what people were thinking about yesterday, not tomorrow.
