For even they are sure that to live for nothing higher than oneself is to lose life; that life, to be called life, can be found only in serving something bigger than one's personal interests; something that crowds these out of mind and heart, till one forgets about them and lives wholly, and without exception, for that other, worthier thing... It is long since Aristotle told us that only barbarians have as their ideal the wish to live as they please, and to do what they like. And the New Testament gravely sets us down before the Cross, and bids us gaze, and still gaze, and keep gazing, till the fact has soaked itself into our minds that that, not less than that, is now the standard set us, and that whatever in our lives clashes with that is sin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58506]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forgiveness is the final form of love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7370]]></link><description><![CDATA[Forgiveness is the final form of love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7370</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[None preaches better than the ant, and she says nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53610]]></link><description><![CDATA[None preaches better than the ant, and she says nothing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Lion, the Mouse, and the FoxA lion, fatigued by the heat of a summer's day, fell fast asleep in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1560]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Lion, the Mouse, and the FoxA lion, fatigued by the heat of a summer's day, fell fast asleep in his den. A Mouse ran over his mane and ears and woke him from his slumbers. He rose up and shook himself in great wrath, and searched every corner of his den to find the Mouse. A Fox seeing him said: A fine Lion you are, to be frightened of a Mouse. 'Tis not the Mouse I fear, said the Lion; I resent his familiarity and ill-breeding. Little liberties are great offenses.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Common sense is perhaps the most equally divided, but surely the most under-employed, talent in the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58591]]></link><description><![CDATA[Common sense is perhaps the most equally divided, but surely the most under-employed, talent in the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58591</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Olympic Spirit is neither the property of one race nor of one age. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52919]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Olympic Spirit is neither the property of one race nor of one age.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52919</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is hard enough, even with the best will in the world, to be just.

It is hard, under the pressure of haste, uneasiness, ill-temper, self-complacency, and conceit, to continue intending justice. Power corrupts; the "insolence of office" will creep in. We see it so clearly in our superiors; is it unlikely that our inferiors see it in us? How many of those who have been over us did not sometimes (perhaps often) need our forgiveness? Be sure that we likewise need the forgiveness of those that are under us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Duncan will be touching down in Cape Town, and getting straight back on the next available flight.

I am referring to the almost total ignorance of the content and implication of the Christian Faith shown by many "clever" people today. Frankly, I find it horrifying to discover that men who are experts in their own line -- in astronomy, genetics, or nuclear physics, for example -- have no adult knowledge of what the Church of Christ stands for, and a complete blank ignorance of what the Church is achieving today. It is the more horrifying because people who rightly respect the expert for his knowledge in his own field have no idea that he has not carefully examined and reluctantly discarded Christianity; but in all probability he has never studied it at all!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mr. Page regrets having uttered an obscenity in open court.
