But -- I know not well whence it comes to pass -- the things spoken do not abide nor incorporate in our minds. They please and refresh for a little while, like a shower of rain in a dry season, that soaketh not unto the roots of things; the power of them doth not enter into us. Is it not from hence, that their notions of future things are not educed out of the experience which we have of the beginnings of them in this world? Yea, the soul is disturbed, not edified, in all contemplations of future glory, where things are proposed to it whereof in this life it hath neither foretaste, sense, experience, nor evidence. No man ought to look for anything in heaven, but what one way or other he hath some experience of in this life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are few people who are more often in the wrong than those who cannot endure to be so. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62446]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are few people who are more often in the wrong than those who cannot endure to be so.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62446</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Habit is the denial of creativity and the negation of freedom; a self-imposed straitjacket of which the wearer is unaware. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47212]]></link><description><![CDATA[Habit is the denial of creativity and the negation of freedom; a self-imposed straitjacket of which the wearer is unaware.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47212</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[May be he is not well. Infirmity doth neglect all office  Whereto our health is bound. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18928]]></link><description><![CDATA[May be he is not well. Infirmity doth neglect all office  Whereto our health is bound.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18928</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who asks with timidity invites a refusal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51153]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who asks with timidity invites a refusal.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51153</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is how it happens.

He desires his transcript to be faithful to the meaning of the original, so far as he can reach that meaning, and also to do some justice to its literary qualities. But he is well aware that his aim often exceeds his grasp. Translation may be a fascinating task, yet no discipline is more humbling. You may be translating oracles, but soon you learn the risk and folly of posing as an oracle yourself. If your readers are dissatisfied at any point, they may be sure that the translator is still more dissatisfied, if not there, then elsewhere -- all the more so, because, in the nature of the case, he has always to appear dogmatic in print.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[(MacKenzie) has been stringing great practices together.

But a rational life, the life of a valuer, does not consist essentially in reaction. It consists in action. Man does not find his values, like the other animals; he creates them. The primary focus of a valuer is not to take the world as it comes and pass judgment. His primary focus is to identify what might and ought to exist, to uncover potentialities that he can exploit, to find ways of reshaping the world in the image of his values.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Individually, we are one drop.
