Some even wanted him to be king, a thought that GW found ludicrous: What astonishing changes a few years are capable of producing! I am told that even respectable characters speak of a monarchical form of government without horror. From thinking proceeds speaking, thence to acting is often but a single step. But how irrevocable and tremendous! What a triumph for the advocates of despotism to find that we are incapable of governing ourselves, and that systems founded on the basis of equal liberty are merely ideal & fallacious!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Writing is one of the few professions in which you can psychoanalyse yourself, get rid of hostilities and frustrations in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62426]]></link><description><![CDATA[Writing is one of the few professions in which you can psychoanalyse yourself, get rid of hostilities and frustrations in public, and get paid for it]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world is not divine sport, it is divine destiny.

For even they are sure that to live for nothing higher than oneself is to lose life; that life, to be called life, can be found only in serving something bigger than one's personal interests; something that crowds these out of mind and heart, till one forgets about them and lives wholly, and without exception, for that other, worthier thing... It is long since Aristotle told us that only barbarians have as their ideal the wish to live as they please, and to do what they like. And the New Testament gravely sets us down before the Cross, and bids us gaze, and still gaze, and keep gazing, till the fact has soaked itself into our minds that that, not less than that, is now the standard set us, and that whatever in our lives clashes with that is sin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When freedom prevails, the ingenuity and inventiveness of people creates incredible wealth.

The issue is complex, both philosophically and theologically; but surely it is inappropriate to blame God for a problem He did not initiate, and [that is] in fact, one which He has sought to alleviate, at great cost to Himself. God sent His Son to inaugurate the Kingdom and to "destroy him who has the power of death, that is, the devil" (Heb. 2:14). God is not the cause of suffering and sickness; He is its cure! Jesus' ministry and death guarantee this.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have no reason to believe the two crimes are linked together. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31043]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have no reason to believe the two crimes are linked together.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. -Thomas Edison. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45121]]></link><description><![CDATA[Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. -Thomas Edison.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45121</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be happy while you're living, for you're a long time dead. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10013]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be happy while you're living, for you're a long time dead.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10013</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's love, it's love that makes the world go round. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25605]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's love, it's love that makes the world go round.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25605</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For modes of faith let graceless zealots fight, His can't be wrong whose life is in the right. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63771]]></link><description><![CDATA[For modes of faith let graceless zealots fight, His can't be wrong whose life is in the right.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63771</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Meditation here may think down hours to moments.
