There had been days when he had been too hectoring or domineering -- so, at least, these impossible people had said, though he himself denied it still. At all events, protesting to Rome, they had won the Emperor's ear, and humbled their governor. And that must not happen again. Ah, me! Is not this life of ours a fearsome thing? Take care! take care! for if you sin that sin, be sure that somehow you will pay for it -- and, it may be, at how hideous a price! So Pilate found in his day; so you, too, will find it in ours... Only God knows what may come out of that, if you should give way to it. Pilate was curt and domineering to the Jews one day. And it was because of that, months later, his unwilling hands set up the cross of Christ: unwilling -- but they did it. Take you care! for sin is very merciless. If you have had the sweet, [sin] will see to it that you quaff the bitter to the very dregs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the air. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62712]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the air.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62712</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Can you do addition?" the White Queen asked.

It has neither accorded him a superior status to sustain his confidence nor made it easy for him to acquire an unquestioned sense of social usefulness. For he derives his sense of usefulness mainly from directing, instructing, and planning- from minding other people's business- and is bound to feel superfluous and neglected where people believe themselves competent to manage individual and communal affairs, and are impatient of supervision and regulation. A free society is as much a threat to the intellectual's sense of worth as an automated economy is to the workingman's sense of worth. Any social order that can function with a minimum of leadership will be anathema to the intellectual.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What barn-burners, ...

But let me tell you that herein you put an extremely difficult task upon us, in expecting that we should pour wine and oil into the wound before it be searched, and speak smooth and comfortable things to a man that is but just brought to a sense of the long course of a lewd and wicked life impenitently continued in. Alas! what comfort can we give to men in such a case? We are loth to drive them to despair; and yet we must not destroy them by presumption; pity and good nature do strongly tempt us to make the best of their case and to give them all the little hopes which with any kind of reason we can --and God knows it is but very little that we can give to such persons upon good ground, for it all depends upon the degree and sincerity of their repentance, which God only knows, and we can but guess at.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now it is the time of night That the graves, all gaping wide,  Every one lets forth his sprite, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2793]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now it is the time of night That the graves, all gaping wide,  Every one lets forth his sprite,   In the churchway paths to glide.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2793</guid></item></channel></rss>
