Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged. They always say, "Do it again"; and the grown-up person does it again until he is nearly dead. For grown-up people are not strong enough to exult in monotony. But perhaps God is strong enough... It is possible that God says every morning, "Do it again," to the sun; and every evening, "Do it again," to the moon. It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike: it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never got tired of making them. It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7639</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53178]]></link><description><![CDATA[The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image.

He thus addressed him: "Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then said the Wolf, "You feed in my pasture." "No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother's milk is both food and drink to me." Upon which the Wolf seized him and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won't remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations." The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11640]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11640</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you have only one smile in you, give it to the people you love.
