They know indeed that they are mortal, but they do not feel it. The truth rests in their understandings, and cannot gain admission into their hearts. This speculative persuasion is altogether different from that strong practical impression of the infinite importance of eternal things, which, attended with a proportionate sense of the shortness and uncertainty of all below, while it prompts to activity from a conviction that the night cometh when no man can work, produces a certain firmness of texture, which hardens us against the buffetings of fortune, and prevents our being very deeply penetrated by the cares and interests, the good or evil, of this transitory state.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She connected with the military in a way I know they appreciate, not only the brass but the serving soldiers ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38457]]></link><description><![CDATA[She connected with the military in a way I know they appreciate, not only the brass but the serving soldiers who saw someone who had made a point of getting to know them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38457</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reality is only a Rorschach ink-blot, you know. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66451]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reality is only a Rorschach ink-blot, you know.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66451</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That second requirement is going to be hard to prove in a courtroom.

Life is offered to me on condition of eating beefsteaks. But death is better than cannibalism.

Life is supplied with a basic adequacy... The conscious mind determines the actions, the unconscious mind determines the reactions; and the reactions are just as important as the actions. Many Christians are Christians in their actions -- they don't lie, steal, commit adultery, or get drunk; but they react badly to what happens to them: they react in anger, bad temper, self-pity, jealousy, and envy... When the depths are upheld by the Holy Spirit, then the reaction is Christian.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8255</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[China has no income tax, no unemployment and not a single soldier outside its borders. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47358]]></link><description><![CDATA[China has no income tax, no unemployment and not a single soldier outside its borders.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why doth one man's yawning make another yawn? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14387]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why doth one man's yawning make another yawn?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world makes up for all its follies and injustices by being damnably sentimental. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55181]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world makes up for all its follies and injustices by being damnably sentimental.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55181</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There was not a greater gourmand living. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50518]]></link><description><![CDATA[There was not a greater gourmand living.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The obscenities of recent days may well be designed toundermine the peace process.

We are bound to Him, and not He to us, because before He was loved, He loved us... There it is, then: we cannot... love Him with this first love. Yet I say that God demands of us, that as He has loved us without any second thoughts, so He should be loved by us. In what way can we do this, then? ... I tell you, through a means which he has established, by which we can love Him freely; ... that is, we can be useful, not to Him -- which is impossible -- but to our neighbor... To show the love that we have for Him, we ought to serve and love every rational creature and extend our charity to good and bad -- as much to one who does us ill service and criticizes us as to one who serves us. For, His charity extends over just men and sinners.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6885</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man who stand on hill with mouth open will wait long time for roastduck to drop in. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22734]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man who stand on hill with mouth open will wait long time for roastduck to drop in.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22734</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fit thy consent to my sharp appetite, Lay by all nicety and prolixious blushes,  That banish what they sue ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4389]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fit thy consent to my sharp appetite, Lay by all nicety and prolixious blushes,  That banish what they sue for: redeem thy brother   By yielding up thy body to my will,    Or else he must not only die the death,     But thy unkindess shall his death draw out      To ling'ring sufferance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4389</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In an evil hour thou bring'st her home.
