All struggles after union, though they may be of the most abortive kind, though they may produce fresh sects and fresh divisions, though they must do so as long as they rest on the notion that unity is something visible and material, yet indicate a deep and divine necessity which men could not be conscious of in their dreams if they were not beginning to wake.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Open rebuke is better than secret love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48668]]></link><description><![CDATA[Open rebuke is better than secret love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They are eloquent who can speak low things acutely, and of great things with dignity, and of moderate things with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1315]]></link><description><![CDATA[They are eloquent who can speak low things acutely, and of great things with dignity, and of moderate things with temper.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1315</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A tree growing out of the ground is as wonderful today as it ever was.

And I wish I knew what was wrong. Maybe something about how stupid my whole life is. I don’t know. Why does the rest of the world put up with the hypocrisy, the need to put a happy face on sorrow, the need to keep on keeping on?... I don’t know the answer, I know only that I can’t.

It is not so much that new ideas are painful, for they are not. It is that old ideas are seldom entirely false, but have truth, great truth in them. The justification for conservatism is the desire to preserve the truths and standards of the past; its dangers, of which we are seldom aware, is that in preserving those values, we may miss the infinitely greater riches that lie in the future.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9864</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would rather not be a king than to forfeit my liberty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24701]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would rather not be a king than to forfeit my liberty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Coming into the game, we had everything laid out on offense.

The Hare, believing her assertion to be simply impossible, assented to the proposal; and they agreed that the Fox should choose the course and fix the goal. On the day appointed for the race the two started together. The Tortoise never for a moment stopped, but went on with a slow but steady pace straight to the end of the course. The Hare, lying down by the wayside, fell fast asleep. At last waking up, and moving as fast as he could, he saw the Tortoise had reached the goal, and was comfortably dozing after her fatigue. Slow but steady wins the race.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[a classical guerrilla-type campaign. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38361]]></link><description><![CDATA[a classical guerrilla-type campaign.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38361</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People won't have time for you if you are always angry or complaining. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66226]]></link><description><![CDATA[People won't have time for you if you are always angry or complaining.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66226</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For true success ask yourself these four questions: Why?
