Life has no otherdiscipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept lifeunquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run awayfrom, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in theend. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy,and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one forhim who has the vision to recognize it as such.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Histories make men wise; poets, witty; the mathematics, subtle; natural philosophy, deep; moral, grave; logic and rhetoric, able to contend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19490]]></link><description><![CDATA[Histories make men wise; poets, witty; the mathematics, subtle; natural philosophy, deep; moral, grave; logic and rhetoric, able to contend.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They tore my shirt off, they tore it off my back, and I was being whipped on my bare back, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28517]]></link><description><![CDATA[They tore my shirt off, they tore it off my back, and I was being whipped on my bare back, Confess!

Hence it was firmly seated first on the great lines of communication across the empire, leading from its origin in Jerusalem to its imperial center in Rome. It had already struck root in Rome within little more than twenty years after the Crucifixion, and it had become really strong in the great city about thirty years after the Apostles began to look round and out from Jerusalem. This marvelous development was possible only because the seed of the new thought floated free on the main currents of communication, which were ever sweeping back and forward between the heart of the Empire and its outlying members. Paul, who mainly directed the great movement, threw himself boldly and confidently into the life of the time; he took the Empire as it was, accepted its political conformation and arrangement, and sought only to touch the spiritual and moral life of the people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Curiosity in children, is but an appetite for knowledge. ne great reason why children abandon themselves wholly to silly pursuits ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10868]]></link><description><![CDATA[Curiosity in children, is but an appetite for knowledge. ne great reason why children abandon themselves wholly to silly pursuits and trifle away their time insipidly is, because they find their curiosity balked, and their inquiries neglected.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remember, remember always that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62464]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remember, remember always that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62464</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that begins by loving Christianity better than truth will proceed by loving his own sect or church better than ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8327]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that begins by loving Christianity better than truth will proceed by loving his own sect or church better than Christianity, and end in loving himself better than all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8327</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hatred is the madness of the heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18821]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hatred is the madness of the heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just an hour with you, and I understand why we had to meet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37985]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just an hour with you, and I understand why we had to meet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow.
