It is the current coin that purchases all the pleasures of the world cheap; and the balance that sets the king and the shepherd, the fool and the wise man, even. There is only one thing, which somebody once put into my head, that I dislike in sleep; it is, that it resembles death; there is very little difference between a man in his first sleep, and a man in his last sleep.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56626</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What I dream of is an art of balance, of purity and serenity devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3681]]></link><description><![CDATA[What I dream of is an art of balance, of purity and serenity devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3681</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For goodness' sake, why elevate AIDS over cancer?

When we select for serious consideration those doctrines which "transcend" the thought of his own age and are "for all time", we are assuming that the thought of our age is correct: for of course by thoughts which transcend the great man's age we really mean thoughts that agree with ours. Thus I value Shakespeare's picture of the transformation in old Lear more than I value his views about the divine right of kings, because I agree with Shakespeare that a man can be purified by suffering like Lear, but do not believe that kings (or any other rulers) have divine right in the sense required. When the great man's views do not seem to us erroneous we do not value them the less for having been shared with his contemporaries. Shakespeare's disdain for treachery and Christ's blessing on the poor were not alien to the outlook of their respective periods; but no one wishes to discredit them on that account.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to talk and remove all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66114]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to talk and remove all doubt of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66114</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Winners take time to relish their work, knowing that scaling the mountain is what makes the view from the top ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13937]]></link><description><![CDATA[Winners take time to relish their work, knowing that scaling the mountain is what makes the view from the top so exhilarating.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man ought to be twice tried for the same offence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50556]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man ought to be twice tried for the same offence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50556</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It requires no banks, no safe-deposit boxes.
