She greedily placed it several times to her nose, and drawing it backwards and forwards said, O most delicious! How nice must the Wine itself have been, when it leaves behind in the very vessel which contained it so sweet a perfume! The memory of a good deed lives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What information consumes is rather obvious: It consumes the attention of its recipients.

This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing, it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of Divine accident. -Sir Hugh Walpoe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25886</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Since ancient Time began, Ever on some great soul God laid an infinite burden--  The weight of all this ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61244]]></link><description><![CDATA[Since ancient Time began, Ever on some great soul God laid an infinite burden--  The weight of all this world, the hopes of man,   Conflict and pain, and fame immortal are his guerdon.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61244</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lay her in the earth, And from her fair and unpolluted flesh  May violets spring. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51274]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lay her in the earth, And from her fair and unpolluted flesh  May violets spring.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51274</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They want the federal government controlling Social Security like it's some kind of federal program. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2428]]></link><description><![CDATA[They want the federal government controlling Social Security like it's some kind of federal program.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've got a 6-4 cousin, but that's about it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34765]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've got a 6-4 cousin, but that's about it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34765</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Flattery is all right so long as you don't inhale. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16153]]></link><description><![CDATA[Flattery is all right so long as you don't inhale.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16153</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leave her to Heaven, And to those thorns that in her bosom lodge,  To prick and sting her. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51254]]></link><description><![CDATA[Leave her to Heaven, And to those thorns that in her bosom lodge,  To prick and sting her.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Ass and the MuleA muleteer set forth on a journey, driving before him an Ass and a Mule, both ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1554]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Ass and the MuleA muleteer set forth on a journey, driving before him an Ass and a Mule, both well laden. The Ass, as long as he traveled along the plain, carried his load with ease, but when he began to ascend the steep path of the mountain, felt his load to be more than he could bear. He entreated his companion to relieve him of a small portion, that he might carry home the rest; but the Mule paid no attention to the request. The Ass shortly afterwards fell down dead under his burden. Not knowing what else to do in so wild a region, the Muleteer placed upon the Mule the load carried by the Ass in addition to his own, and at the top of all placed the hide of the Ass, after he had skinned him. The Mule, groaning beneath his heavy burden, said to himself: I am treated according to my deserts. If I had only been willing to assist the Ass a little in his need, I should not now be bearing, together with his burden, himself as well.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1554</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Merit is much more cheaply acknowledged than rewarded ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27379]]></link><description><![CDATA[Merit is much more cheaply acknowledged than rewarded]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27379</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Daughter is a Little Girl who grows up to be a Friend ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5931]]></link><description><![CDATA[A Daughter is a Little Girl who grows up to be a Friend]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The body of all true religion consists, to be sure, in obedience to the will of the Sovereign of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53464]]></link><description><![CDATA[The body of all true religion consists, to be sure, in obedience to the will of the Sovereign of the world, in a confidence in His declarations, and in imitation of His perfections.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53464</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My own business always bores me to death; I prefer other people's ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5001]]></link><description><![CDATA[My own business always bores me to death; I prefer other people's]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Experience is not what happens to you; it is what you do with what happens to you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14727]]></link><description><![CDATA[Experience is not what happens to you; it is what you do with what happens to you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14727</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Guts are a combination of confidence, courage, conviction, strength of character, stick-to-itiveness, pugnaciousness, backbone, and intestinal fortitude.

This is the state of man: to-day he puts forth The tender leaves of hopes; to-morrow blossoms, And bears his blushing honours thick upon him; The third day comes a frost, a killing frost, And when he thinks, good easy man, full surely His greatness is a-ripening, nips his root, And then he falls, as I do. I have ventured, Like little wanton boys that swim on bladders, This many summers in a sea of glory, But far beyond my depth: my high-blown pride At length broke under me and now has left me, Weary and old with service, to the mercy Of a rude stream, that must forever hide me. Vain pomp and glory of this world, I hate ye: I feel my heart new opened. O, how wretched Is that poor man that hangs on princes' favours! There is betwixt that smile we would aspire to, That sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin, More pangs and fears than wars or women have: And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer, Never to hope again. -King Henry VIII. Act iii. Sc. 2.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56041</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life takes on meaning when you become motivated, set goals and charge after them in an unstoppable manner. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62807]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life takes on meaning when you become motivated, set goals and charge after them in an unstoppable manner.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where glowing embers through the room Teach light to counterfeit a gloom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25063]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where glowing embers through the room Teach light to counterfeit a gloom.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[Rising home values] are making people feel they don't need to save. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40340]]></link><description><![CDATA[[Rising home values] are making people feel they don't need to save.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40340</guid></item></channel></rss>
