One day others will come who will do the same things better.

That is the only thing that will count then, achievement or not. "My kindness shall not depart from you." By this man lives. By this alone can he live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People of substance may sin without being exposed for their stolen pleasure; but servants and the poorer sort of women ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44169]]></link><description><![CDATA[People of substance may sin without being exposed for their stolen pleasure; but servants and the poorer sort of women have seldom an opportunity of concealing a big belly, or at least the consequences of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44169</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Goals are dreams with deadlines. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17624]]></link><description><![CDATA[Goals are dreams with deadlines.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Temperance is a bridle of gold. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1314]]></link><description><![CDATA[Temperance is a bridle of gold.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1314</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis said of love that it sometimes goes, sometimes flies; runs with one, walks gravely with another; turns a third ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25680]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis said of love that it sometimes goes, sometimes flies; runs with one, walks gravely with another; turns a third into ice, and sets a fourth in a flame: it wounds one, another it kills: like lightning it begins and ends in the same moment: it makes that fort yield at night which it besieged but in the morning; for there is no force able to resist it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25680</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Julius Caesar divorced his wife Pompeia, but declared at the trial that he knew nothing of what was alleged against ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58410]]></link><description><![CDATA[Julius Caesar divorced his wife Pompeia, but declared at the trial that he knew nothing of what was alleged against her and Clodius.
