And yet, at the end, from a rare height, we also see that our dream was our fate. It's just that providence had other ideas as to how we would get there. Destiny plans a different route, or turns the dream around, as if it were a riddle, and fulfills the dream in ways we couldn't have expected.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I never imagined I'd win this much money in one year.

In the time at their disposal, it was just not worth while. Perhaps the best hope of reviving the Christian religion would be to convince the Pope, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and other dignitaries likewise, that the world will shortly be coming to an end. A difficult undertaking, I fear, notwithstanding much evidence pointing that way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Therefore doth heaven divide The state of man in divers functions,  Setting endeavor in continual motion;   To ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3911]]></link><description><![CDATA[Therefore doth heaven divide The state of man in divers functions,  Setting endeavor in continual motion;   To which is fixed as an aim or butt    Obedience; for so work the honeybees,     Creatures that by a rule in nature teach      The act of order to a peopled kingdom.       They have a king, and officers of sorts,        Where some like magistrates correct at home,         Others like merchants venture trade abroad,          Others like soldiers armed in their stings           Make boot upon the summer's velvet buds,            Which pillage they with merry march bring home             To the tent-royal of their emperor,              Who, busied in his majesties, surveys               The singing masons building roofs of gold,                The civil citizens kneading up the honey,                 The poor mechanic porters crowding in                  Their heavy burdens at his narrow gate,                   The sad-eyed justice with his surly hum                    Delivering o'er to executors pale                     The lazy yawning drone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3911</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The observation of nature is part of an artist's life, it enlarges his form [and] knowledge, keeps him fresh and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44788]]></link><description><![CDATA[The observation of nature is part of an artist's life, it enlarges his form [and] knowledge, keeps him fresh and from working only by formula, and feeds inspiration.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44788</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It took a deadly illness to put me eye to eye with that truth, but it is a truth that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40595]]></link><description><![CDATA[It took a deadly illness to put me eye to eye with that truth, but it is a truth that the country, caught up in its ruthless ambitions and moral decay, can learn on my dime.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40595</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13167]]></link><description><![CDATA[When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13167</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Charles Williams, Spiritual Writer, 1945 I thirst, but not as once I did, The vain delights of earth ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8291]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Charles Williams, Spiritual Writer, 1945 I thirst, but not as once I did, The vain delights of earth to share; Thy wounds, Emmanuel, all forbid That I should seek my pleasures there.
