Many grown-ups will obstinately persist, if only now and then, in composing small strings of sentences in their heads and achieving at least momentary logic. This probably cannot be prevented, but we have learned how to minimize the consequences by arranging that such grown-ups will be unable to pursue that logic very far. If they were at home in the technology of writing, there's no telling how much social disorder they would cause by thinking things out at length.Our schools have chosen to cut this danger off as close to the root as possible, thus taking measures to preclude not only the birth of thought but its conception. They give the pill to even the youngest children, but just to be on the safe side, they give it to everybody else, too, especially all would-be schoolteachers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're in an epidemic, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37038]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're in an epidemic,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37038</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Genius creates, and taste preserves.

There is hope in the heart that chases the clouds away. Hope is a higher heart frequency and as you begin to reconnect with your heart, hope is waiting to show you new possibilities and arrest the downward spiral of grief and loneliness. It becomes a matter of how soon you want the sun to shine. Listening to the still, small voice in your heart will make hope into a reality. Sara Paddison, The Hidden Power of the Heart Hope is a higher heart frequency, and as you begin to re-connect with your heart, hope is waiting to show you new possibilities and arrest the downward spiral of grief and loneliness. Listening to the still small voice in your heart will make hope into a reality. Benjamin Franklin, preface, Poor Richard's Almanac, 1758 He that lives upon hope will die fasting. -Sara Paddison.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48031]]></link><description><![CDATA[In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48031</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone puts his fault on the Times. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49229]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everyone puts his fault on the Times.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49229</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The disposition of all power is to abuses, nor does it at all mend the matter that its possessors are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47093]]></link><description><![CDATA[The disposition of all power is to abuses, nor does it at all mend the matter that its possessors are a majority.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47093</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perish those who said our good things before we did. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25327]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perish those who said our good things before we did.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25327</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the midst of hopes and cares, of apprehensions and of disquietude, regard every day that dawns upon you as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24882]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the midst of hopes and cares, of apprehensions and of disquietude, regard every day that dawns upon you as if it was to be your last; then super-added hours, to the enjoyment of which you had not looked forward, will prove an acceptable boon. -Horace.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24882</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot, others transform a yellow spot into the sun. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3272]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot, others transform a yellow spot into the sun.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never give a sucker an even break. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64641]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never give a sucker an even break.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64641</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not growing like a tree In bulk, doth make man better be;  Or standing long an oak, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18386]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not growing like a tree In bulk, doth make man better be;  Or standing long an oak, three hundred year,   To fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sere:    A lily of a day     Is fairer far in May,      Although it falls and die that night--       It was the plant and flower of Light.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18386</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the lay public rallies round to an idea that is denounced by distinguished by elderly scientists and supports the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9497]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the lay public rallies round to an idea that is denounced by distinguished by elderly scientists and supports the idea with great fervour and emotion, the distinguished but elderly scientests are then, after all, right. -Isaac Asimov.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have no riches but my thoughts Yet these are wealth enough for me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61443]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have no riches but my thoughts Yet these are wealth enough for me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why do I do anything?' she says.
