Most emphatically, the Psalms must be read as poems -- as lyrics, with all the licenses and all the formalities, the hyperboles, the emotional rather than logical connections, which are proper to lyric poetry... Otherwise we shall miss what is in them and think we see what is not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Inconsistency is the only thing in which men are consistent ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20704]]></link><description><![CDATA[Inconsistency is the only thing in which men are consistent]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20704</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you have learned how to disagree without being disagreeable, then you have discovered the secret of getting along -- ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12358]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you have learned how to disagree without being disagreeable, then you have discovered the secret of getting along -- whether it be business, family relations, or life itself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So honour peereth in the meanest habit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51487]]></link><description><![CDATA[So honour peereth in the meanest habit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To look back to antiquity is one thing, to go back to it is another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45697]]></link><description><![CDATA[To look back to antiquity is one thing, to go back to it is another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why don't you show us a statesman who can rise up to the emergency, and cave in the emergency's head. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57855]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why don't you show us a statesman who can rise up to the emergency, and cave in the emergency's head.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57855</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a man would live in peace he should be blind, deaf, and dumb. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45932]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a man would live in peace he should be blind, deaf, and dumb.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best way to break a bad habit is to drop it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40612]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best way to break a bad habit is to drop it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A diplomat's life is made up of three ingredients: protocol, Geritol and alcohol. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12337]]></link><description><![CDATA[A diplomat's life is made up of three ingredients: protocol, Geritol and alcohol.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be sure that it is a mistaken devotion which interferes with the duties of your natural state of life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7902]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be sure that it is a mistaken devotion which interferes with the duties of your natural state of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7902</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And these vicissitudes come best in youth; For when they happen at a riper age,  People are apt to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/689]]></link><description><![CDATA[And these vicissitudes come best in youth; For when they happen at a riper age,  People are apt to blame the Fates, forsooth,   And wonder Providence is not more sage.    Adversity is the first path to truth:     He who hath proved war, storm, or woman's rage,      Whether his winters be eighteen or eighty,       Has won experience which is deem'd so weighty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is always brave to say what everyone thinks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46351]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is always brave to say what everyone thinks.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perhaps the purpose of categorical algebra is to show that which is trivial, is trivially trivial. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28074]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perhaps the purpose of categorical algebra is to show that which is trivial, is trivially trivial.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28074</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We cannot change anything until we accept it.
