Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded- here and there, now and then- are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.This is known as "bad luck.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He has a billionaire's spending habit, but a millionaire's budget. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35924]]></link><description><![CDATA[He has a billionaire's spending habit, but a millionaire's budget.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It always takes awfully long time to understand unbelievably simple things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60051]]></link><description><![CDATA[It always takes awfully long time to understand unbelievably simple things.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are one of the best things that's ever happened to me.

You will see at once that this is an impossibility. From considering how the cruelty of our ancestors looks to us, you may get some inkling of how our softness, worldliness, and timidity would have looked to them, and hence how both must look to God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8546</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Catherine of Siena, Mystic, Teacher, 1380   O abyss, O eternal Godhead, O sea profound, what more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6380]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Catherine of Siena, Mystic, Teacher, 1380   O abyss, O eternal Godhead, O sea profound, what more could you give me than yourself?

Why, would the same not be possible to a good will? Yes, indeed, and even much more so. Surely, I can do all things with the will. I can bear the sorrow of all men and feed all the poor and do the work of all men and whatever else you may think of. If it be not the will that fails you, but only the power, then truly, before God, you have done it all, and no man can take it from you or even hinder you for a moment; for to will to do as soon as I can is the same before God as having done it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never dared be radical when young for fear it would make me conservative when old. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14785]]></link><description><![CDATA[I never dared be radical when young for fear it would make me conservative when old.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14785</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ev'n wit's a burthen, when it talks too long. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61817]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ev'n wit's a burthen, when it talks too long.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61817</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Common sense is what tells us the Earth is flat and the Sun goes around it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9035]]></link><description><![CDATA[Common sense is what tells us the Earth is flat and the Sun goes around it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9035</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The liar's punishment is not in the least that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26148]]></link><description><![CDATA[The liar's punishment is not in the least that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15352]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was a childish ignorance, But now 'tis little joy  To know I'm further off from heaven   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20418]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was a childish ignorance, But now 'tis little joy  To know I'm further off from heaven   Than when I was a boy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He'll reach up and take one of those big old floppy ears and he'll say, 'I can't hear you,' and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42391]]></link><description><![CDATA[He'll reach up and take one of those big old floppy ears and he'll say, 'I can't hear you,' and they'll start that all over again.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is 10% of what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62794]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is 10% of what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62794</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's no way we're going to get him on that bus ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â€Â not even on a helicopter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34867]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's no way we're going to get him on that bus ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â€Â not even on a helicopter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is useful cannot be base ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60300]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is useful cannot be base]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60300</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Hugh, Carthusian Monk, Bishop of Lincoln, 1200  [God desires] not that He may say to them, "Look ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8111]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Hugh, Carthusian Monk, Bishop of Lincoln, 1200  [God desires] not that He may say to them, "Look how mighty I am, and go down upon your knees and worship", for power alone was never yet worthy of prayer; but that He may say thus: "Look, my children, you will never be strong but with my strength.
