Irving teaches me the lesson of cheerfulness, Hawthorne shows me the hatefulness of sin, Longfellow gives me the soft, tranquil music of hope. Lowell makes us feel that we must give ourselves to our fellow men. Whittier sings to me of divine Fatherhood and human brotherhood. These are Christian lessons: who inspired them? Who put it into the heart of Martin Luther to nail those theses on the church door of Wittenberg? Who stirred and fired the soul of Savonarola? Who thrilled and electrified the soul of John Wesley? Jesus Christ is back of these all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Videlicit, That each man swore to do his best  To damn and perjure all the rest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53957]]></link><description><![CDATA[Videlicit, That each man swore to do his best  To damn and perjure all the rest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53957</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You're only given a little spark of madness.

People just taking the chemicals and diving in without having any kind of preparation about what they're about to experience tend to have no frame of reference, so they're missing everything flying by and all these new perspectives. It's just a waste. They reach a little bit of spiritual enlightenment, but they end up going, 'Well, now I need that drug to get back there again.' The trick is to use the drugs once to get there, and maybe spend the next ten years trying to get back there without the drug.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In order to properly understand the big picture, everyone should fear becoming mentally clouded and obsessed with one small section ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64167]]></link><description><![CDATA[In order to properly understand the big picture, everyone should fear becoming mentally clouded and obsessed with one small section of truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64167</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[New Year's Day is every man's birthday. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64514]]></link><description><![CDATA[New Year's Day is every man's birthday.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64514</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sports page records people's accomplishments, the front page usually records nothing, but man's failures. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/384]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sports page records people's accomplishments, the front page usually records nothing, but man's failures.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/384</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Union gives strength to the humble. [Lat., Auxilia humilia firma consensus facit.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60147]]></link><description><![CDATA[Union gives strength to the humble. [Lat., Auxilia humilia firma consensus facit.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60147</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbors, and laugh at them in our turn? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17902]]></link><description><![CDATA[For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbors, and laugh at them in our turn?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17902</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world; and that is an idea whose time has ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10597]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world; and that is an idea whose time has come.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most people have a harder time letting themselves love than finding someone to love them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15490]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most people have a harder time letting themselves love than finding someone to love them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15490</guid></item></channel></rss>
