One day others will come who will do the same things better. And some day he will have been completely forgotten--even if he should have built the pyramids or the St. Gotthard tunnel or invented atomic fission. And one thing is even more certain: whether the achievement of a man's life is great or small, significant or insignificant, he will one day stand before his eternal judge, and everything that he has done and performed will be no more than a mole hill, and then he will have nothing better to do than hope for something he has not earned: not for a crown, but quite simply for gracious judgment which he has not deserved. That is the only thing that will count then, achievement or not. "My kindness shall not depart from you." By this man lives. By this alone can he live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you could runne, as you drinke, you might catch a hare. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49521]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you could runne, as you drinke, you might catch a hare.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the fairest features of the landscape are to be named after men, let them be the noblest and worthiest ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43660]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the fairest features of the landscape are to be named after men, let them be the noblest and worthiest men alone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43660</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks.
