Just as the degree to which, in daily life, I feel the emotion of fear has very little to do with my rational judgment of the danger. I'd sooner have really nasty seas when I'm in an open boat than look down in perfect (actual) safety from the edge of a cliff. Similarly, I have confessed ghastly uncharities with less reluctance than small unmentionables -- or those sins which happen to be ungentlemanly as well as unchristian. Our emotional reactions to our own behaviour are of limited ethical significance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In Xanadu did Kubla Khan A stately pleasure-dome decree;  Where Alph, the sacred river ran,   Through caverns ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54319]]></link><description><![CDATA[In Xanadu did Kubla Khan A stately pleasure-dome decree;  Where Alph, the sacred river ran,   Through caverns measureless to man    Down to a sunless sea.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O, how this spring of love resembleth The uncertain glory of an April day,  Which now shows all the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51533]]></link><description><![CDATA[O, how this spring of love resembleth The uncertain glory of an April day,  Which now shows all the beauty of the sun,   And by and by a cloud takes all away!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who talk of reading the Bible "as literature" sometimes mean, I think, reading it without attending to the main ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8542]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who talk of reading the Bible "as literature" sometimes mean, I think, reading it without attending to the main thing it is about; like reading Burke with no interest in politics, or reading the Aeneid with no interest in Rome... But there is a saner sense in which the Bible -- since it is, after all, literature -- cannot properly be read except as literature, and the different parts of it as the different sorts of literature they are. 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['Tis distance lends enchantment to the view, And robes the mountain in its azure hue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43297]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis distance lends enchantment to the view, And robes the mountain in its azure hue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43297</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I admit that: my wife is outspoken, but by whom? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66249]]></link><description><![CDATA[I admit that: my wife is outspoken, but by whom?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66249</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ask yourself whether you are happy and you cease to be so. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18700]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ask yourself whether you are happy and you cease to be so.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18700</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is where we learn that he had two daughters... his two daughters, Sylvia and Regina. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35439]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is where we learn that he had two daughters... his two daughters, Sylvia and Regina.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35439</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest genius will never be worth much if he pretends to drawexclusively from his own resources. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21390]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest genius will never be worth much if he pretends to drawexclusively from his own resources.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21390</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it.
