The load, or weight, or burden, of my neighbour's glory should be laid daily on my back, a load so heavy that only humility can carry it, and the backs of the proud will be broken. It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship --or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Show me a guy who's afraid to look bad, and I'll show you a guy you can beat every time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57695]]></link><description><![CDATA[Show me a guy who's afraid to look bad, and I'll show you a guy you can beat every time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you're really poor, everything you seeis something you can't have. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47892]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you're really poor, everything you seeis something you can't have.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47892</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man will do more for his stubbornness than for his religion or his country ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44840]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man will do more for his stubbornness than for his religion or his country]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A scientist studies what is, an engineer studies what never was. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13895]]></link><description><![CDATA[A scientist studies what is, an engineer studies what never was.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our primary mission is to commercial air service and to support general aviation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39848]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our primary mission is to commercial air service and to support general aviation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39848</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And there they placed a peacock in his pride, Before the damsel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46005]]></link><description><![CDATA[And there they placed a peacock in his pride, Before the damsel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46005</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And he asked him, What is thy name?
