Its seers and prophets are not men of philosophic mind, who have risen from the seen to the unseen and, by dint of much reflection, have gradually attained to elevated conceptions of Him who is the Author of all that is. They are men of God whom God has chosen, that He might speak to them and, through them, to His people. Israel has not, in and by them, created for itself a God: God has, through them, created for Himself a people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The end crowns all, And that old common arbitrator, Time, Will one day end it. -Troilus and Cressida.

To afford sympathetic entertainment to abstract ideas, to let one idea beget another, and that another, till the mind teems with them; to compare one idea with others, to weigh, to consider, evaluate, approve, respect, correct, refine; to join thought with thought like an architect till a whole edifice has been created within the mind; to travel back in imagination to the beginning of the creation and then to leap swiftly forward to the end of time; to bound upward through illimitable space and downward into the nucleus of an atom; and all this without so much as moving from our chair or opening the eyes--this is to soar above all the lower creation and come near to the angels of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that endures is not overcome. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49335]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that endures is not overcome.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49335</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every great house is full of saucy servants. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50438]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every great house is full of saucy servants.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no short cut, nor "royal road," to the attainment of medical knowledge.

Yet they like to be considered as Christians, and listen willingly to the hypocrites who preach that our righteousness is only that God holds us to be righteous, even if we are bad people, and that our righteousness is without us and not in us, for, according to such teaching, they can be counted as holy people. Woe to those who preach that men of sinful walk can not be considered pious; most are furious when they hear this, as we see and experience, and would like all such preachers to be driven away or even killed; but where that cannot be done, they strengthen their hypocrite preachers with praise, comfort, presents and protection, so that they may go on happily and give no place to the truth, however clear it may be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man has two countries, his own and France. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10234]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every man has two countries, his own and France.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10234</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The soul's impurity consists in bad judgments, and purification consists in producing in it right judgments, and the pure soul ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1275]]></link><description><![CDATA[The soul's impurity consists in bad judgments, and purification consists in producing in it right judgments, and the pure soul is one which has right judgments.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1275</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One that desires to excel should endeavor in those things that are in themselves most excellent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46133]]></link><description><![CDATA[One that desires to excel should endeavor in those things that are in themselves most excellent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46133</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[More knave than fool. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16329]]></link><description><![CDATA[More knave than fool.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16329</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My definition [of a philosopher] is of a man up in a balloon, with his family and friends holding the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41088]]></link><description><![CDATA[My definition [of a philosopher] is of a man up in a balloon, with his family and friends holding the ropes which confine him to earth and trying to haul him down.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41088</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Titles are marks of honest men, and wise: The fool or knave that wears a title lies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44588]]></link><description><![CDATA[Titles are marks of honest men, and wise: The fool or knave that wears a title lies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Luck affects everything; let your hook always be cast.
