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[The flowery style is not unsuitable to public speeches or addresses, which amount only to compliment.

This is particularly true when the opportunities for self-advancement are relatively meager, and one's individual interests and prospects do not seem worth living for. Such persons sooner or later turn their backs on an individual existence and strive to acquire a sense of worth and a purpose by an identification with a holy cause, a leader, or a movement. The faith and pride they derive from such an identification serve them as substitutes for the unattainable self-confidence and self-respect.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It has expanded beyond my wildest dreams. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31206]]></link><description><![CDATA[It has expanded beyond my wildest dreams.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A fanatic is someone who does what the Lord would do, if He knew the facts of the matter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15258]]></link><description><![CDATA[A fanatic is someone who does what the Lord would do, if He knew the facts of the matter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15258</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that is his owne Counsellor knowes nothing sure but what hee hath laid out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49365]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that is his owne Counsellor knowes nothing sure but what hee hath laid out.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas More, Scholar & Martyr, & John Fisher, Bishop & Martyr, 1535  We must always speak of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7732]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas More, Scholar & Martyr, & John Fisher, Bishop & Martyr, 1535  We must always speak of the efficacy of the ministry in such a manner that the entire praise of the work may be reserved for God alone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7732</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2632]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2632</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the old world that is passing, in the new world that is coming, national efficiency has been and will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13622]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the old world that is passing, in the new world that is coming, national efficiency has been and will be a controlling factor in national safety and welfare.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13622</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man associates ideas not according to logic or verifiable exactitude, but according to his pleasure and interests.
