This end is far more effectively attained, with greater advantage and less disadvantage, by concentrating the chief ensigns of sexual attractiveness on the upper and more conspicuous parts of the body.

This is the beginning of the death of the spiritual life, and in the end there will be nothing left but spiritual chatter and clerical condescension arrayed in pious words ... never really speaking to others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Widow and Her Little MaidensA widow who was fond of cleaning had two little maidens to wait on her. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1577]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Widow and Her Little MaidensA widow who was fond of cleaning had two little maidens to wait on her.
