To afford sympathetic entertainment to abstract ideas, to let one idea beget another, and that another, till the mind teems with them; to compare one idea with others, to weigh, to consider, evaluate, approve, respect, correct, refine; to join thought with thought like an architect till a whole edifice has been created within the mind; to travel back in imagination to the beginning of the creation and then to leap swiftly forward to the end of time; to bound upward through illimitable space and downward into the nucleus of an atom; and all this without so much as moving from our chair or opening the eyes--this is to soar above all the lower creation and come near to the angels of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tough luck. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42491]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tough luck.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Someone told me I had five assists at halftime and I just laughed.

The load, or weight, or burden, of my neighbour's glory should be laid daily on my back, a load so heavy that only humility can carry it, and the backs of the proud will be broken. It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship --or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Something that has always puzzled me all my life is why, when I am in special need of help, the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19160]]></link><description><![CDATA[Something that has always puzzled me all my life is why, when I am in special need of help, the good deed is usually done by somebody on whom I have no claim.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19160</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Soon silence will have passed into legend.
