The common recognition of the principle would in itself be a unifying force of great value, and would dispose those who shared it to approach questions of difference in a spirit of unity which would immensely assist their deliberations.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7476</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Experience is the best of schoolmasters, only the school-fees are heavy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58017]]></link><description><![CDATA[Experience is the best of schoolmasters, only the school-fees are heavy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58017</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every individual has a place to fill in the world, and is important, in some respect, whether he chooses to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1362]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every individual has a place to fill in the world, and is important, in some respect, whether he chooses to be so or not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1362</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is action and passion; therefore it is required of a man that he should share the passion and action ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45644]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is action and passion; therefore it is required of a man that he should share the passion and action of the time, at peril of being judged not to have lived.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Amid the roses fierce Repentance rears Her snaky crest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51768]]></link><description><![CDATA[Amid the roses fierce Repentance rears Her snaky crest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51768</guid></item></channel></rss>
