To Homer, the dawn was "rosy-fingered"; to Shakespeare, it was "in russet mantle clad"; to Housman, "the ship of sunrise burning". The scientist can explain exactly why the sky looks as it does in the early morning, the physiologist why we perceive as we do. Yet no one suggests that there is no dawn at all, or that its appearance has changed over the centuries, or that any one of these percipients was mad or deceitful. Why should our knowledge of the Creator be less capable of variety and development than our knowledge of any aspect of Creation?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6294</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The risk of a wrong decision is preferable to the terror of indecision. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20714]]></link><description><![CDATA[The risk of a wrong decision is preferable to the terror of indecision.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20714</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Believe nothing, no matter where you read it or who has said it, not even if i have said it, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65536]]></link><description><![CDATA[Believe nothing, no matter where you read it or who has said it, not even if i have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Admiration is a very short-lived passion, that immediately decays upon growing familiar with its object. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/602]]></link><description><![CDATA[Admiration is a very short-lived passion, that immediately decays upon growing familiar with its object.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some are soon bagg'd but some reject three dozen. 'Tis fine to see them scattering refusals  And wild dismay, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62011]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some are soon bagg'd but some reject three dozen. 'Tis fine to see them scattering refusals  And wild dismay, o'er every angry cousin   (Friends of the party) who begin accusals,    Such as--"Unless Miss (Blank) meant to have chosen     Poor Frederick, why did she accord perusals      To his billets?

He blotted out through death the sentence of death, that by a new creation of our race in Himself He might sweep away the penalty appointed by the former Law... For Scripture had foretold that He who is God should die; that the victory and triumph of them that trust in Him lay in the fact that He, who is immortal and cannot be overcome by death, was to die that mortals might gain eternity. (Continued tomorrow)   ... St. Hilary, On the Trinity  November 2, 2000 Feast of All Souls   In this calm assurance of safety did my soul gladly and hopefully take its rest, and feared so little the interruption of death, that death seemed only a name for eternal life. And the life of this present body was so far from seeming a burden or affliction that it was regarded as children regard their alphabets, sick men their draughts, shipwrecked sailors their swim, young men the training for their profession, future commanders their first campaign -- that is, as an endurable submission to present necessities, bearing the promise of a blissful immortality.   ... St. Hilary, On the Trinity  November 3, 2000 Feast of Richard Hooker, Priest, Anglican Apologist, Teacher, 1600 Commemoration of Martin of Porres, Dominican Friar, 1639   People make mistakes when they believe. They may even want something so badly that passion creates its own evidences. Reprehensible though these habits are, they nonetheless fall within the pale of man's general effort to conform the self to things as they are. But when a person acknowledges the deficiency of evidences and yet goes right on believing, he defends a position that is large with the elements of its own destruction. Any brand of inanity can be defended on such a principle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The end of fishing is not angling, but catching. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16110]]></link><description><![CDATA[The end of fishing is not angling, but catching.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16110</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who sings the praises of his boyhood's days. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50251]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who sings the praises of his boyhood's days.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They tried to get me - I got them first!(suicide by drinking Lysol). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15222]]></link><description><![CDATA[They tried to get me - I got them first!(suicide by drinking Lysol).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only white man you can trust is a dead white man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44447]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only white man you can trust is a dead white man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Know how sublime a thing it is To suffer and be strong. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50574]]></link><description><![CDATA[Know how sublime a thing it is To suffer and be strong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All that glisters is not gold. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2811]]></link><description><![CDATA[All that glisters is not gold.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2811</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is so hard for those who abound in riches as to conceive how others can be in want. -Jonathan ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25107]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is so hard for those who abound in riches as to conceive how others can be in want. -Jonathan Swift.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25107</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A liberal is a person whose interests aren't at stake at the moment ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24666]]></link><description><![CDATA[A liberal is a person whose interests aren't at stake at the moment]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou didst swear to me upon a parcel-gilt goblet, sitting in my Dolphin-chamber, at the round table, by a sea-coal ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55922]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou didst swear to me upon a parcel-gilt goblet, sitting in my Dolphin-chamber, at the round table, by a sea-coal fire, upon Wednesday in Wheeson week. -King Henry IV.
