It is... not merely a sacred book but a book so remorselessly and continuously sacred that it does not invite -- it excludes or repels -- the merely aesthetic approach. You can read it as literature only by a tour de force... It demands incessantly to be taken on its own terms: it will not continue to give literary delight very long, except to those who go to it for something quite different. I predict that it will in the future be read, as it always has been read, almost exclusively by Christians.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was gifted with the sly, sharp instinct for self-preservation that passes for wisdom among the rich. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17453]]></link><description><![CDATA[He was gifted with the sly, sharp instinct for self-preservation that passes for wisdom among the rich.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17453</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nature is a revelation of God; Art is a revelation of man ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43762]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nature is a revelation of God; Art is a revelation of man]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatever is begun in anger ends in shame.

Perceiving their simplicity, he cast down a huge log into the lake. The Frogs were terrified at the splash occasioned by its fall and hid themselves in the depths of the pool. But as soon as they realized that the huge log was motionless, they swam again to the top of the water, dismissed their fears, climbed up, and began squatting on it in contempt. After some time they began to think themselves ill-treated in the appointment of so inert a Ruler, and sent a second deputation to Jupiter to pray that he would set over them another sovereign. He then gave them an Eel to govern them. When the Frogs discovered his easy good nature, they sent yet a third time to Jupiter to beg him to choose for them still another King. Jupiter, displeased with all their complaints, sent a Heron, who preyed upon the Frogs day by day till there were none left to croak upon the lake.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Loud is the summer's busy song The smallest breeze can find a tongue,  While insects of each tiny size ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23559]]></link><description><![CDATA[Loud is the summer's busy song The smallest breeze can find a tongue,  While insects of each tiny size   Grow teasing with their melodies,    Till noon burns with its blistering breath     Around, and day lies still as death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Sundaies of man's life, Thredded together on time's string,  Make bracelets to adorn the wife   Of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54589]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Sundaies of man's life, Thredded together on time's string,  Make bracelets to adorn the wife   Of the eternal, glorious King.    On Sunday heaven's gates stand ope;     Blessings are plentiful and rife.      More plentiful than hope.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54589</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Review your goals twice every day in order to be focused on achieving them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22036]]></link><description><![CDATA[Review your goals twice every day in order to be focused on achieving them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22036</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man that would expect to train lobsters to fly in a year is called a lunatic; but a man ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56834]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man that would expect to train lobsters to fly in a year is called a lunatic; but a man that thinks men can be turned into angels by an election is a reformer and remains at large.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56834</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To apprehend thus Draws us a profit from all things we see,  And often, to our comfort, shall we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3917]]></link><description><![CDATA[To apprehend thus Draws us a profit from all things we see,  And often, to our comfort, shall we find   The sharded beetle in a safer hold    Than is the full-winged eagle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3917</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prince, give praise to our French ladies For the sweet sound their speaking carries;  'Twixt Rome and Cadiz many ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45539]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prince, give praise to our French ladies For the sweet sound their speaking carries;  'Twixt Rome and Cadiz many a maid is,   But no good girl's lip out of Paris.   - Algernon Charles Swinburne,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Malice drinks one half of its own poison. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26225]]></link><description><![CDATA[Malice drinks one half of its own poison.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26225</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Last year I lost three top guys, ... because I let them walk out of here.
