Where do we come from? Why are we this way and not some other? What does it mean to be human? Are we capable, if need be, of fundamental change, or do the dead hands of forgotten ancestors impel us in some direction, indiscriminately for good or ill, and beyond our control? Can we alter our character? Can we improve our societies? Can we leave our children a world better than the one that was left to us? Can we free them from the demons that torment us and haunt our civilization? In the long run, are we wise enough to know what changes to make? Can we be trusted with our own future?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3398</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Stag in the Ox-StallA stag, roundly chased by the hounds and blinded by fear to the danger he was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1600]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Stag in the Ox-StallA stag, roundly chased by the hounds and blinded by fear to the danger he was running into, took shelter in a farmyard and hid himself in a shed among the oxen. An Ox gave him this kindly warning: O unhappy creature! why should you thus, of your own accord, incur destruction and trust yourself in the house of your enemy?' The Stag replied: Only allow me, friend, to stay where I am, and I will undertake to find some favorable opportunity of effecting my escape. At the approach of the evening the herdsman came to feed his cattle, but did not see the Stag; and even the farm-bailiff with several laborers passed through the shed and failed to notice him. The Stag, congratulating himself on his safety, began to express his sincere thanks to the Oxen who had kindly helped him in the hour of need. One of them again answered him: We indeed wish you well, but the danger is not over. There is one other yet to pass through the shed, who has as it were a hundred eyes, and until he has come and gone, your life is still in peril. At that moment the master himself entered, and having had to complain that his oxen had not been properly fed, he went up to their racks and cried out: Why is there such a scarcity of fodder? There is not half enough straw for them to lie on. Those lazy fellows have not even swept the cobwebs away. While he thus examined everything in turn, he spied the tips of the antlers of the Stag peeping out of the straw. Then summoning his laborers, he ordered that the Stag should be seized and killed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is this paradox in pride--it makes some men ridiculous, but prevents others from becoming so. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48229]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is this paradox in pride--it makes some men ridiculous, but prevents others from becoming so.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48229</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poetry is the synthesis of hyacinths and biscuits. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46798]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poetry is the synthesis of hyacinths and biscuits.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Woo the fair one when around Early birds are singing;  When o'er all the fragrant ground   Early ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61998]]></link><description><![CDATA[Woo the fair one when around Early birds are singing;  When o'er all the fragrant ground   Early herbs are springing:    When the brookside, bank, and grove     All with blossom laden,      Shine with beauty, breathe of love,       Woo the timid maiden.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every situation, every moment -- is of infinite worth; for it is the representative of a whole eternity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14219]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every situation, every moment -- is of infinite worth; for it is the representative of a whole eternity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Iron hand in a velvet glove. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47940]]></link><description><![CDATA[Iron hand in a velvet glove.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would live to study, and not study to live. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25393]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would live to study, and not study to live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25393</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bet your parents were proud of you, ...
