These our actors, As I foretold you, were all spirits, and Are melted into air, into thin air: And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces, The solemn temples, the great globe itself, Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff As dreams are made on; and our little life Is rounded with a sleep. -The Tempest. Act iv. Sc. 1.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our faith and our friendships are not shattered by one big act, but by many small neglects. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6660]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our faith and our friendships are not shattered by one big act, but by many small neglects.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6660</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He gives a benefit twice who gives quickly. [Lat., Inopi beneficium bis dat, qui dat celeriter.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4141]]></link><description><![CDATA[He gives a benefit twice who gives quickly. [Lat., Inopi beneficium bis dat, qui dat celeriter.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4141</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The logic of words should yield to the logic of realities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25444]]></link><description><![CDATA[The logic of words should yield to the logic of realities.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25444</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Light seeking light doth light of light beguile. -Love's Labour 's Lost.

To view unmoved the toiling and the strain,  The groaning of the ages, sick and spent,  The whole creation travailing in pain.  The suffering God is no vast cosmic force,  That by some blind, unthinking, loveless power  Keeps stars and atoms swinging in their course,  And reckons naught of men in this grim hour.  Nor is the suffering God a fair ideal  Engendered in the questioning hearts of men,  A figment of the mind to help me steel  My soul to rude realities I ken.  God suffers with a love that cleanses dross;  A God like that, I see upon a cross.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man who can drive himself further once the effort gets painful is the man who will win. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21349]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man who can drive himself further once the effort gets painful is the man who will win.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21349</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Twas a yellow rose, By that south window of the little house,  My cousin Romney gathered with his hand ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54425]]></link><description><![CDATA['Twas a yellow rose, By that south window of the little house,  My cousin Romney gathered with his hand   On all my birthdays, for me. save the last;    And then I shook the tree too rough, too rough,     For roses to stay after.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of a truth, men are mystically united: a mystic bond of brotherhood makes all men one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58516]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of a truth, men are mystically united: a mystic bond of brotherhood makes all men one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't really think that Reggie is going to need that much help.

But it is necessary that we face this also. The full acceptance of our abjection and uselessness is the virtue that can make us and others rich in the grace of God. It takes heroic charity and humility to let others sustain us when we are absolutely incapable of sustaining ourselves. We cannot suffer well unless we see Christ everywhere, both in suffering and in the charity of those who come to the aid of our affliction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A mother's love is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking, it never fails or falters, even though the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43221]]></link><description><![CDATA[A mother's love is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking, it never fails or falters, even though the heart is breaking]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43221</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Subtlety may deceive you; integrity never will. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22865]]></link><description><![CDATA[Subtlety may deceive you; integrity never will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22865</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66876]]></link><description><![CDATA[Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66876</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the sun comes up, I have morals again. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43142]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the sun comes up, I have morals again.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43142</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you reveal your secrets to the wind you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48983]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you reveal your secrets to the wind you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48983</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They sort of made a point of that, which I thought was right, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37075]]></link><description><![CDATA[They sort of made a point of that, which I thought was right,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37075</guid></item></channel></rss>
