For to seek for eminence and significancy in grace is but like seeking for eminence and significancy in nature. And the old man can relish glory and distinction in religion as well as in common life, and will be content to undergo as many labours, pains, and self-denials for the sake of religious, as for the sake of secular glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7006</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee that labours and thrives spins gold. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49461]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee that labours and thrives spins gold.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take heed of a person marked, and a Widdow thrice married. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49774]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take heed of a person marked, and a Widdow thrice married.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49774</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At last the Muses rose, . . .

Therefore I am assured that this anchorage of Divine example will hold the vessel in the tossings of the wildest sea of doubt, and I shall be as safe as He was, if the vessel itself is engulfed in the waves of suffering and sorrow.

There is no telling to what extremes of cruelty and ruthlessness a man will go when he is freed from the fears, hesitations, doubts and the vague stirrings of decency that go with individual judgement. When we lose our individual independence in the corporateness of a mass movement, we find a new freedom- freedom to hate, bully, lie, torture, murder and betray without shame and remorse. Herein undoubtedly lies part of the attractiveness of a mass movement.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How can you be expected to govern a country that has 246 kinds of cheese? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19487]]></link><description><![CDATA[How can you be expected to govern a country that has 246 kinds of cheese?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The main facts in human life are five: birth, food, sleep, love and death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62976]]></link><description><![CDATA[The main facts in human life are five: birth, food, sleep, love and death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them.
