We see that many articulate secularists are well-meaning and law-abiding men; we see them go into righteous indignation over injustice and often devote their lives to good works. So we conclude that "he can't be wrong whose life is in the right" -- that their philosophies are just as good guides to action as Christianity. What we don't see is that they are not acting on their philosophies. They are acting, out of habit or sentiment, on an inherited Christian ethic which they still take for granted though they have rejected the creed from which it sprang. Their children will inherit some what less of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7815</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's better to be head of a Lyzard, then the tayle of a Lyon. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49576]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's better to be head of a Lyzard, then the tayle of a Lyon.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have often thought that if photography were difficult in the true sense of the term -- meaning that the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29470]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have often thought that if photography were difficult in the true sense of the term -- meaning that the creation of a simple photograph would entail as much time and effort as the production of a good watercolor or etching -- there would be a vast improvement in total output.

The Father, unwilling to grant, and yet afraid to refuse his request, hit upon this expedient to rid himself of his importunities. He expressed his willingness to accept the Lion as the suitor of his daughter on one condition: that he should allow him to extract his teeth, and cut off his claws, as his daughter was fearfully afraid of both. The Lion cheerfully assented to the proposal. But when the toothless, clawless Lion returned to repeat his request, the Woodman, no longer afraid, set upon him with his club, and drove him away into the forest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sense is our helmet, wit is but the plume; The plume exposes, 'tis our helmet saves.  Sense is the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55114]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sense is our helmet, wit is but the plume; The plume exposes, 'tis our helmet saves.  Sense is the diamond, weighty, solid, sound;   When cut by wit, it casts a brighter beam;    Yet, wit apart, it is a diamond still.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55114</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wonder is the foundation of all philosophy, inquiry the progress, ignorance the end ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61961]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wonder is the foundation of all philosophy, inquiry the progress, ignorance the end]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61961</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There was a king of Thule, Was faithful till the grave,  To whom his mistress dying,   A ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54466]]></link><description><![CDATA[There was a king of Thule, Was faithful till the grave,  To whom his mistress dying,   A golden goblet gave.    [Ger., Es war ein Konig in Tule     Gar treu bis an das Grab,      Dem sterbend seine Buhle       Einen gold'nen Becher gab.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54466</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your heart is full of fertile seeds, waiting to sprout. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66773]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your heart is full of fertile seeds, waiting to sprout.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're deeply sorry for causing trouble to and disturbing our patients. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36530]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're deeply sorry for causing trouble to and disturbing our patients.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I suppose one could construct Madame Clarkson's very active involvement in these last few days and her coming to the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38455]]></link><description><![CDATA[I suppose one could construct Madame Clarkson's very active involvement in these last few days and her coming to the ceremony as wanting to support the office and the institution in the face of some controversy that's been around Madame Jean, and a desire to be visible in support of her,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more you hide your feelings, the more they show.
