All peace and happiness in this world depend upon unreserved self-oblation to God. If this be hearty and entire, the result will be an unfailing, ever-increasing happiness, which nothing can disturb. There is no real happiness in this life save that which is the result of a peaceful heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How sweetly sounds the voice of a good woman! It is so seldom heard that, when it speaks,  It ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60918]]></link><description><![CDATA[How sweetly sounds the voice of a good woman! It is so seldom heard that, when it speaks,  It ravishes all senses.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60918</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the first half of your life, people tell you what you should do; for the second half, they tell ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1841]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the first half of your life, people tell you what you should do; for the second half, they tell you what you should have done. -Richard Needham.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1841</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In order to conquer, what we need is to dare, still to dare, and always to dare. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22265]]></link><description><![CDATA[In order to conquer, what we need is to dare, still to dare, and always to dare.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dignity belongs to the conquered. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1247]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dignity belongs to the conquered.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death and taxes and childbirth.
