For how many men--we put it to your own experience, reader--have made their way through the thronging crowds that beset fortune, not by the innate worth and excellence of their hats, but simply, as Sampson Piebald has it, by 'the cock of their hats'? The cock's all."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Abstinence and fasting cure many a complaint. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/196]]></link><description><![CDATA[Abstinence and fasting cure many a complaint.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/196</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love sought is good, but given unsought, is better. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25714]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love sought is good, but given unsought, is better.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25714</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A supreme love, a motive that gives a sublime rhythm to a woman's life, and exalts habit into partnership with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44124]]></link><description><![CDATA[A supreme love, a motive that gives a sublime rhythm to a woman's life, and exalts habit into partnership with the soul's highest needs, is not to be had where and how she wills.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44124</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Inhumanity is caught from man, From smiling man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10798]]></link><description><![CDATA[Inhumanity is caught from man, From smiling man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is our people who are sitting in the dark because of these cowardly and treacherous attacks, not our occupiers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36810]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is our people who are sitting in the dark because of these cowardly and treacherous attacks, not our occupiers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A "good" family, it seems, is one that used to be better. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32018]]></link><description><![CDATA[A "good" family, it seems, is one that used to be better.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32018</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Plain women know more about men than beautiful women do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66374]]></link><description><![CDATA[Plain women know more about men than beautiful women do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blessing star forth forever; but a curse Is like a cloud--it passes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4312]]></link><description><![CDATA[Blessing star forth forever; but a curse Is like a cloud--it passes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4312</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poverty is the discoverer of all the arts. [Lat., Paupertas omnium artium repertrix.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47867]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poverty is the discoverer of all the arts. [Lat., Paupertas omnium artium repertrix.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Revenge is profitable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54083]]></link><description><![CDATA[Revenge is profitable.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54083</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man never feels more important than when he receives a telegram containing more than ten words. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35524]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man never feels more important than when he receives a telegram containing more than ten words.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One attempt to reconcile the Gnostic doctrine [of the unreality of evilness] of matter with the apostolic teaching about Christ ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6715]]></link><description><![CDATA[One attempt to reconcile the Gnostic doctrine [of the unreality of evilness] of matter with the apostolic teaching about Christ was the theory that the body which our Lord took at His coming into the world was not a real body but a phantom one. He only seemed to inhabit a material body, and from the Greek word dokein ["to seem"], people who held this theory were known as Docetists. But if Christ's incarnation was unreal, His death and resurrection were also unreal; and the whole gospel message was thus evacuated of its truth and power: one unhappy legacy of this short-lived phase of Christian heresy remains to bedevil Christian witness to Muslims up to the present day. For when the Koran says of Jesus that "they did not kill Him, nor did they crucify Him, but they thought they did", we may infer that Muhammad was indebted for this idea to a Christian source tainted with Docetism.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A desire to resist oppression is implanted in the nature of man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45163]]></link><description><![CDATA[A desire to resist oppression is implanted in the nature of man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45163</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To give somebody your time is the biggest gift you can give. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66223]]></link><description><![CDATA[To give somebody your time is the biggest gift you can give.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66223</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How do geese know when to fly to the sun?

But in fact intellectual progress usually occurs through sheer abandonment of questions together with both of the alternatives they assume - an abandonment that results from their decreasing vitality and change of urgent interest. We do not solve them: we get over them.
