My poor friend Christopher Smart showed the disturbance of his mind, by falling upon his knees, and saying his prayers in the street, or in any other unusual place. Now although, rationally speaking, it is greater madness not to pray at all, than to pray as Smart did, I am afraid there are so many who do not pray, that their understanding is not called in question... I did not think he ought to be shut up. His infirmities were not noxious to society. He insisted on people praying with him; and I'd as lief pray with Kit Smart as any.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And when you stick on conversation's burs, Don't strew your pathway with those dreadful urs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10094]]></link><description><![CDATA[And when you stick on conversation's burs, Don't strew your pathway with those dreadful urs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10094</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is not just a private right - but one belonging to legislators as part of the separation of powers ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32889]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is not just a private right - but one belonging to legislators as part of the separation of powers and as part of the essential functions of government.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and cannot remain silent ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43418]]></link><description><![CDATA[Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and cannot remain silent]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever envies another confesses his superiority. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23196]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whoever envies another confesses his superiority.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23196</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bear with evil, and expect good. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50969]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bear with evil, and expect good.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50969</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do you think that the work God gives us to do is never easy?

Jesus says that His yoke is easy, His burden is light. People sometimes refuse to do God's work just because it is easy. This is sometimes because they cannot believe that easy work is His work; but there may be a very bad pride in it... Some, again, accept it with half a heart and do it with half a hand. But however easy any work may be, it can nnot be well done without taking thought about it. And such people, instead of taking thought about their work, generally take thought about the morrow -- in which no work can be done, any more than in yesterday.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8073</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You see things; and you say, "Why"; But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?" ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52761]]></link><description><![CDATA[You see things; and you say, "Why"; But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?"]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52761</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the ill effects of cruelty is that it makes the bystanders cruel ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10781]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the ill effects of cruelty is that it makes the bystanders cruel]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10781</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Receive every day as a resurrection from death, as a new enjoyment of life; meet every rising sun with such ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6923]]></link><description><![CDATA[Receive every day as a resurrection from death, as a new enjoyment of life; meet every rising sun with such sentiments of God's goodness, as if you had seen it, and all things, new-created upon your account: and under the sense of so great a blessing, let your joyful heart praise and magnify so good and glorious a Creator.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6923</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After all, it is style alone by which posterity will judge of a great work, for an author can have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47830]]></link><description><![CDATA[After all, it is style alone by which posterity will judge of a great work, for an author can have nothing truly his own but his style]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47830</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you steal ideas from one source, that's plagiarism, but if you steal ideas from more than one source, that's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20284]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you steal ideas from one source, that's plagiarism, but if you steal ideas from more than one source, that's research.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20284</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Either sin is with you, lying on your shoulders, or it is lying on Christ, the Lamb of God.

But surely a man's hunger does prove that he comes of a race which repairs its body by eating and inhabits a world where eatable substances exist. In the same way, though I do not believe (I wish I did) that my desire for Paradise proves that I shall enjoy it, I think it a pretty good indication that such a thing exists and that some men will. A man may love a woman and not win her; but it would be very odd if the phenomenon called `falling in love" occurred in a sexless world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Fox and the GoatA fox one day fell into a deep well and could find no means of escape. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1536]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Fox and the GoatA fox one day fell into a deep well and could find no means of escape. A Goat, overcome with thirst, came to the same well, and seeing the Fox, inquired if the water was good. Concealing his sad plight under a merry guise, the Fox indulged in a lavish praise of the water, saying it was excellent beyond measure, and encouraging him to descend. The Goat, mindful only of his thirst, thoughtlessly jumped down, but just as he drank, the Fox informed him of the difficulty they were both in and suggested a scheme for their common escape. If, said he, you will place your forefeet upon the wall and bend your head, I will run up your back and escape, and will help you out afterwards. The Goat readily assented and the Fox leaped upon his back. Steadying himself with the Goat's horns, he safely reached the mouth of the well and made off as fast as he could. When the Goat upbraided him for breaking his promise, he turned around and cried out, You foolish old fellow! If you had as many brains in your head as you have hairs in your beard, you would never have gone down before you had inspected the way up, nor have exposed yourself to dangers from which you had no means of escape. Look before you leap.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Individuals have rights and there are things no person or group may do to them (without violating their rights). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19936]]></link><description><![CDATA[Individuals have rights and there are things no person or group may do to them (without violating their rights).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19936</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is often necessary to know how to obey a woman in order sometimes to have the right to command ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64679]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is often necessary to know how to obey a woman in order sometimes to have the right to command her.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Agents are like tires on a car; in order to get anywhere at all, youneed at least four of them, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19592]]></link><description><![CDATA[Agents are like tires on a car; in order to get anywhere at all, youneed at least four of them, and they need to be rotated every 5,000 miles.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10908]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10908</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They that sow in tears shall reap joy.
