Are you willing to be made glad that you were wrong when you thought others were wrong?... We may trust God with our past as heartily as with our future. It will not hurt us so long as we do not try to hide things, so long as we are ready to bow our heads in hearty shame where it is fit that we should be ashamed. For to be ashamed is a holy and blessed thing. Shame is a thing to shame only those who want to appear, not those who want to be. Shame is to shame those who want to pass their examination, not those who would get into the heart of things... To be humbly ashamed is to be plunged in the cleansing bath of truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8066</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[International arbitration may be defined as the substitution of many burning questions for a smouldering one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12335]]></link><description><![CDATA[International arbitration may be defined as the substitution of many burning questions for a smouldering one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12335</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Science is not about control.
