Wherever you go, make some of those women your friends; which a very little matter will do. Ask their advice, tell them your doubts or difficulties as to your behavior; but take great care not to drop one word of their experience; for experience implies age, and the suspicion of age, no woman, let her be ever so old, ever forgives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A coward boasting of his courage may deceive strangers, but he is a laughing-stock to those who know him. [Lat., ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10493]]></link><description><![CDATA[A coward boasting of his courage may deceive strangers, but he is a laughing-stock to those who know him. [Lat., Virtutis expers verbis jactans gloriam  Ignotos fallit, notis est derisui.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10493</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tho' he inherit Not the pride, nor ample pinion,  That the Theban eagle bear,   Sailing with supreme ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13094]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tho' he inherit Not the pride, nor ample pinion,  That the Theban eagle bear,   Sailing with supreme dominion    Thro' the azure deep of air.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13094</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're very athletic and they run the floor.

He only seemed to inhabit a material body, and from the Greek word dokein ["to seem"], people who held this theory were known as Docetists. But if Christ's incarnation was unreal, His death and resurrection were also unreal; and the whole gospel message was thus evacuated of its truth and power: one unhappy legacy of this short-lived phase of Christian heresy remains to bedevil Christian witness to Muslims up to the present day. For when the Koran says of Jesus that "they did not kill Him, nor did they crucify Him, but they thought they did", we may infer that Muhammad was indebted for this idea to a Christian source tainted with Docetism.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is impossible for a man to be cheated by anyone but himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5824]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is impossible for a man to be cheated by anyone but himself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5824</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All concord's born of contraries. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60428]]></link><description><![CDATA[All concord's born of contraries.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world men inhabit is rather bleak.
