You will still find, particularly in Greece, people doing a little sign when they see a very badly disabled child ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â€Âœ it needs warding off.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The human understanding is no dry light, but receives infusion from the will and affections; which proceed sciences which may ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52376]]></link><description><![CDATA[The human understanding is no dry light, but receives infusion from the will and affections; which proceed sciences which may be called "sciences as one would." For what a man had rather were true he more readily believes. Therefore he rejects difficult things from impatience of research; sober things, because they narrow hope; the deeper things of nature, from superstition; the light of experience, from arrogance and pride; things not commonly believed, out of deference to the opinion of the vulgar. Numberless in short are the ways, and sometimes imperceptible, in which the affections color and infect the understanding.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I knew my shot wasn't dropping, so the next thing is to rebound, make my free throws, and block shots. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31580]]></link><description><![CDATA[I knew my shot wasn't dropping, so the next thing is to rebound, make my free throws, and block shots.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31580</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I said to the brown, brown thrush: "Hush, hush!  Through the wood's full strains I hear   Thy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59254]]></link><description><![CDATA[I said to the brown, brown thrush: "Hush, hush!  Through the wood's full strains I hear   Thy monotone deep and clear,    Like a sound amid sounds most fine."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are men who never err, because they never propose anything rational. [Ger., Est giebt Menschen die gar nicht irren, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14159]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are men who never err, because they never propose anything rational. [Ger., Est giebt Menschen die gar nicht irren, weil sie sich nichts Vernunftiges vorsetzen.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am a possibilist.
