But Jesus did believe in Him, was sure He is alive and abroad in the world; that, therefore, anything may happen any hour. And thus to Him any smallest incident was a magic casement opening upon who could tell what possibilities. A fisherman offers Him a crude, inchoate half-faith, and with that He is sure that He can found a world-wide Church that will defy the powers of evil, aye, and grind them into nothingness at last: a dying brigand, paying the just penalties of his crimes, gropes towards Him in the darkness with the vague hands of a blind man, and, founding upon that, Christ dies, quite sure that He has won: two or three Gentiles seek an interview with Him, and He sees a whole teeming world of men and women being saved.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7808</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54617]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54617</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But beyond the bright searchlights of science, Out of sight of the windows of sense,  Old riddles still bid ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54837]]></link><description><![CDATA[But beyond the bright searchlights of science, Out of sight of the windows of sense,  Old riddles still bid us defiance,   Old questions of Why and of Whence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54837</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That thou art blamed shall not be thy defect, For slander's mark was ever yet the fair;  The ornament ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56555]]></link><description><![CDATA[That thou art blamed shall not be thy defect, For slander's mark was ever yet the fair;  The ornament of beauty is suspect,   A crow that flies in heaven's sweetest air.    So thou be good, slander doth but approve     Thy worth the greater, being wooed of time;      For canker vice the sweetest buds doth love,       And thou present'st a pure unstained prime.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To illustrate the difference between the innovator and the dull crowd of routinists who cannot even imagine that any improvement ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52022]]></link><description><![CDATA[To illustrate the difference between the innovator and the dull crowd of routinists who cannot even imagine that any improvement is possible, we need only refer to a passage in Engel's most famous book. Here, in 1878, Engels apodictically announced that military weapons are "now so perfected that no further progress of any revolutionizing influence is any longer possible." Henceforth "all further [technological] progress is by and large indifferent for land warfare. The age of evolution is in this regard essentially closed." This complacent conclusion shows in what the achievement of the innovator consists: he accomplishes what other people believe to be unthinkable and unfeasible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52022</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who forgiveth, and is reconciled unto his enemy, shall receive his reward from God; for he loveth not the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16557]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who forgiveth, and is reconciled unto his enemy, shall receive his reward from God; for he loveth not the unjust doers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People assume it's being tough on crime, but what you're doing is throwing these kids away.
