But the constraint of which I have been speaking is of a wholly different kind; it is a constraint to be pure-minded and loyal-hearted, to be kind and true and tender, and to love my neighbour as myself. And what could possibly be meant by saying that any reality of an impersonal kind could exercise over me such a constraint as that? I have never been able to see that it could mean anything at all. I have never been able to see how any being that is not a person could possess a moral and spiritual claim over me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man was laughed at as a blunderer who said in a public business: "we do much for posterity; I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47845]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man was laughed at as a blunderer who said in a public business: "we do much for posterity; I would fain see them do something for us."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47845</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the Lord hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26253]]></link><description><![CDATA[But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the Lord hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the Lord hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the Lord commanded thee.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26253</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thanks are justly due for things got without purchase. [Lat., Gratia pro rebus merito debetur inemtis.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18159]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thanks are justly due for things got without purchase. [Lat., Gratia pro rebus merito debetur inemtis.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/682]]></link><description><![CDATA[Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/682</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An Oxe is taken by the horns, and a Man by the tongue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49132]]></link><description><![CDATA[An Oxe is taken by the horns, and a Man by the tongue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49132</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't have any objection to what they're doing for City Center, and we understand that people want different things, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41617]]></link><description><![CDATA[We don't have any objection to what they're doing for City Center, and we understand that people want different things, ...
