Considerest thou alone the burial of the stars? Something there is, (With my lips soothing thee, adding I whisper, I give thee the first suggestion, the problem and indirection,) Something there is more immortal even than the stars, (Many the burials, many the days and nights, passing away,) Something that shall endure longer even than lustrous Jupiter Longer than sun or any revolving satellite, Or the radiant sisters the Pleiades.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3861</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody could believe that somebody would steal pocket change and break into the library to do so. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35648]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nobody could believe that somebody would steal pocket change and break into the library to do so.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35648</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only thing that makes life possible is permanent, intolerable uncertainty; not knowing what comes next. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60014]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only thing that makes life possible is permanent, intolerable uncertainty; not knowing what comes next.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60014</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Democracy does not guarantee equality of conditions -- it only guarantees equality of opportunity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47118]]></link><description><![CDATA[Democracy does not guarantee equality of conditions -- it only guarantees equality of opportunity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love reckons hours for months, and days for years; every little absence is an age. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/171]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love reckons hours for months, and days for years; every little absence is an age.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/171</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have been a believer in the magic of language since, at a very early age, I discovered that some ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24065]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have been a believer in the magic of language since, at a very early age, I discovered that some words got me into trouble and others got me out.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If there is something to pardon in everything, there is also something to condemn. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63605]]></link><description><![CDATA[If there is something to pardon in everything, there is also something to condemn.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63605</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If thou dost marry, I'll give thee this plague for thy dowry: be thou as chaste as ice, as pure ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5190]]></link><description><![CDATA[If thou dost marry, I'll give thee this plague for thy dowry: be thou as chaste as ice, as pure as snow, thou shalt not escape calumny.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5190</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You know what charm is: a way of getting the answer yes without having asked any clear question. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5769]]></link><description><![CDATA[You know what charm is: a way of getting the answer yes without having asked any clear question.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One often contradicts an opinion when what is uncongenial is really the tone in which it was conveyed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44994]]></link><description><![CDATA[One often contradicts an opinion when what is uncongenial is really the tone in which it was conveyed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was happy about it, because now I could just throw everything in one big bin. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36399]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was happy about it, because now I could just throw everything in one big bin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know that Deformed. -Much Ado about Nothing.
