No time to stand beneath the boughs And stare as long as sheep or cows. No time to see, when woods we pass, Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass. No time to see, in broad daylight, Streams full of stars, like skies at night. No time to turn at Beauty's glance, And watch her feet, how they can dance. No time to wait till her mouth can Enrich that smile her eyes began. A poor life this if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What seems to be generosity is often no more than disguised ambition, which overlooks a small interest in order to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12533]]></link><description><![CDATA[What seems to be generosity is often no more than disguised ambition, which overlooks a small interest in order to secure a great one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Derivatives are financial weapons of mass destruction. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65313]]></link><description><![CDATA[Derivatives are financial weapons of mass destruction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes democracy must be bathed in blood. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27928]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes democracy must be bathed in blood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27928</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Belief consists in accepting the affirmations of the soul; unbelief, in denying them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1647]]></link><description><![CDATA[Belief consists in accepting the affirmations of the soul; unbelief, in denying them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer.

The Colloquies of Erasmus    April 30, 1998  Commemoration of Pandita Mary Ramabai, Translator of the Scriptures, 1922  What keeps most men in "Christian" countries from being heretics in this sense is that they do not publicly avow their disbelief: it is in better taste to be casual about lost beliefs, and a note of wistfulness generally ensures forgiveness. Obstinacy is rare. Millions do not even know that they deny essential Christian doctrines: they have never bothered to find out what the essential doctrines are. In extenuation they may plead that the evasiveness and the multiplicity of churches create a difficulty; but to be deterred by this when one's eternal destiny is said to be at stake bespeaks a glaring lack of seriousness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The human contribution is the essential ingredient.
