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[I have been no more than a medium, as it were. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3325]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have been no more than a medium, as it were.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3325</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lord, behold our family here assembled.

We thank Thee for this place in which we dwell; for the love that unites us; for the peace accorded us this day; for the hope with which we expect the morrow; for the health, the work, the food, and the bright skies that make our lives delightful; for our friends in all parts of the earth, and our friendly helpers in this foreign isle [Samoa]... Give us courage, gaiety, and the quiet mind. Spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies. Bless us, if it may be, in all our innocent endeavors. If it may not be, give us the strength to encounter that which is to come, that we be brave in peril, constant in tribulation, temperate in wrath, and in all changes of fortune and down to the gates of death, loyal and loving to one another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I just gave up on acting for a couple of years until Good Will Hunting came around, and since it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31162]]></link><description><![CDATA[I just gave up on acting for a couple of years until Good Will Hunting came around, and since it was Gus, it was hard to say no.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who molds the public sentiment ... makes statues and decisions possible or impossible to make. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55178]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who molds the public sentiment ... makes statues and decisions possible or impossible to make.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55178</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But beyond the bright searchlights of science, Out of sight of the windows of sense,  Old riddles still bid ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54837]]></link><description><![CDATA[But beyond the bright searchlights of science, Out of sight of the windows of sense,  Old riddles still bid us defiance,   Old questions of Why and of Whence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54837</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Execute every act of thy life as though it were thy last. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41485]]></link><description><![CDATA[Execute every act of thy life as though it were thy last.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41485</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am overwhelmed by the grace and persistence of my people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46203]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am overwhelmed by the grace and persistence of my people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46203</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Perpetua, Felicity & their Companions, Martyrs at Carthage, 203  We may look into a church, almost any ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7788]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Perpetua, Felicity & their Companions, Martyrs at Carthage, 203  We may look into a church, almost any church, and discover someone who, though he is offered a gospel of love, must subtly convert it into a gospel of hate before he can receive it. The gospel of love -- with its emphasis upon brotherhood, equality before God, the dignity of every human being, and man's social responsibility toward man -- does not satisfy the lack that he urgently feels. That calls for something altogether different, for an assurance that he is superior, that he is right where others are wrong -- a kind of cosmic teacher's pet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7788</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think it's a fair contract. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38043]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think it's a fair contract.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are in bondage to the law so that we might be free. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24746]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are in bondage to the law so that we might be free.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must come to the point where we realize the concept of race is a false one.
