Remote from universal nature, and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuing a Lenten series on prayer:  I have come to see that I do not limit my mind simply ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6196]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuing a Lenten series on prayer:  I have come to see that I do not limit my mind simply enough to prayer that I always want to do something myself in it, wherein I do very wrong and wish most definitely to cut off and separate my mind from all that, and to hold it with all my strength, as much as I can, to the sole regard and simple unity. By allowing the fear of being ineffectual to enter into the state of prayer, and by wishing to accomplish something myself, I spoilt it all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6196</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no sterner moralist than pleasure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46728]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no sterner moralist than pleasure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46728</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the house of a Fidler, all fiddle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49545]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the house of a Fidler, all fiddle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49545</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We frolic while 'tis May. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48992]]></link><description><![CDATA[We frolic while 'tis May.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. . . . Speak what you think to-day in words ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9873]]></link><description><![CDATA[With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. . . . Speak what you think to-day in words as hard as cannon balls, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict everything you said to-day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The grand style arises in poetry, when a noble nature, treats with simplicity or with severity a serious subject ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42221]]></link><description><![CDATA[The grand style arises in poetry, when a noble nature, treats with simplicity or with severity a serious subject]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42221</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[World-wide apart, and yet akin, As showing that the human heart  Beats on forever as of old. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58526]]></link><description><![CDATA[World-wide apart, and yet akin, As showing that the human heart  Beats on forever as of old.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My mother loved children--she would have given anything if I had been one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5972]]></link><description><![CDATA[My mother loved children--she would have given anything if I had been one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5972</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The New England conscience does not stop you from doing what you shouldn't-it just stops you from enjoying it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32010]]></link><description><![CDATA[The New England conscience does not stop you from doing what you shouldn't-it just stops you from enjoying it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32010</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life - a sexually transmitted terminal condition. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46395]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life - a sexually transmitted terminal condition.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46395</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forgive yourself for your faults and your mistakes and move on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53362]]></link><description><![CDATA[Forgive yourself for your faults and your mistakes and move on.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53362</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Molly is an awesome player.

He was neither wrathful, cruel, nor tyrannical, but just and gentle as a king could be. During his reign he made a royal proclamation for a general assembly of all the birds and beasts, and drew up conditions for a universal league, in which the Wolf and the Lamb, the Panther and the Kid, the Tiger and the Stag, the Dog and the Hare, should live together in perfect peace and amity. The Hare said, Oh, how I have longed to see this day, in which the weak shall take their place with impunity by the side of the strong.
