And now I mean affection. Now I mean to be fond of (as one is fond of oneself) --to hope, to be disappointed, to live inside the other heart. When I look back on the pain of sex, the love like a wild fox so ready to bite, the antagonism that sits like a twin beside love, and contrast it with affection, so deeply unrepeatable, of two people who have lived a life together (and of whom one must die) it's the affection I find richer. It's that I would have again. Not all those doubtful rainbow colors.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2042</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A little neglect may breed great mischief. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44352]]></link><description><![CDATA[A little neglect may breed great mischief.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were afraid this would set a precedent and end up nibbling away at our coastline. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34474]]></link><description><![CDATA[We were afraid this would set a precedent and end up nibbling away at our coastline.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34474</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Peace is more important than all justice; and was not made for the sake of justice, but justice for the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45892]]></link><description><![CDATA[Peace is more important than all justice; and was not made for the sake of justice, but justice for the sake of peace.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45892</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even if you're on the right track--you'll get run over if you just sit there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48307]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even if you're on the right track--you'll get run over if you just sit there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48307</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A person who aims at nothing is sure to hit it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21433]]></link><description><![CDATA[A person who aims at nothing is sure to hit it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ye holy angels bright, Who wait at God's right hand, Or through the realms of light Fly at your Lord's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7914]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ye holy angels bright, Who wait at God's right hand, Or through the realms of light Fly at your Lord's command,  Assist our song;  For else the theme  Too high doth seem  For mortal tongue.

Ye saints, who toil below, Adore your heavenly King. And onward as ye go Some joyful anthem sing;  Take what he gives  And praise him still,  Through good or ill,  Who ever lives!  My soul, bear thou thy part, Triumph in God above: And with a well-tuned heart Sing thou the songs of love!  Let all thy days  Till life shall end,  Whate'er he send,  Be filled with praise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7914</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who has lived obscurely and quietly has lived well. [Lat., Bene qui latuit, bene vixit.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44766]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who has lived obscurely and quietly has lived well. [Lat., Bene qui latuit, bene vixit.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are two tragedies in life: one is to lose your heart's desire, the other is to gain it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59548]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are two tragedies in life: one is to lose your heart's desire, the other is to gain it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A crafty knave needs no broker. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10661]]></link><description><![CDATA[A crafty knave needs no broker.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Captain, my religious belief teaches me to feel as safe in battle as in bed.
