Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded- here and there, now and then- are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.This is known as "bad luck.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Neuer thinke you fortune can beare the sway, Where Virtue's force, can cause her to obay. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16584]]></link><description><![CDATA[Neuer thinke you fortune can beare the sway, Where Virtue's force, can cause her to obay.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61746]]></link><description><![CDATA[No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The cares that flutter batlike round fretted roofs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50333]]></link><description><![CDATA[The cares that flutter batlike round fretted roofs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It ain't a bad plan to keep still occasionally even when you know what you're talking about. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56303]]></link><description><![CDATA[It ain't a bad plan to keep still occasionally even when you know what you're talking about.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What need a man forestall his date of grief, And run to meet what he would most avoid? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18340]]></link><description><![CDATA[What need a man forestall his date of grief, And run to meet what he would most avoid?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18340</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Deliberately to pursue happinesss is not the surest way of achieving it.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon August 4, 2000 Feast of John Vianney, Curè d'Ars, 1859   Prayer is not a way of making use of God; prayer is a way of offering ourselves to God in order that He should be able to make use of us. It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us; we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us; we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.   ... William Barclay, The Plain Man's Book of Prayers, Introduction  August 5, 2000 Feast of Oswald, King of Northumbria, Martyr, 642   Meanwhile, little people like you and me, if our prayers are sometimes granted, beyond all hope and probability, had better not draw hasty conclusions to our own advantage. If we were stronger, we might be less tenderly treated. If we were braver, we might be sent, with far less help, to defend far more desperate posts in the great battle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis liberty alone that gives the flower Of fleeting life its lustre and perfume;  And we are weeds without ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24688]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis liberty alone that gives the flower Of fleeting life its lustre and perfume;  And we are weeds without it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Housework is what a woman does that nobody notices unless she hasn't done it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19909]]></link><description><![CDATA[Housework is what a woman does that nobody notices unless she hasn't done it]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It requires a surgical operation to get a joke well into a Scotch understanding. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54896]]></link><description><![CDATA[It requires a surgical operation to get a joke well into a Scotch understanding.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54896</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I didn't think it was going to be kind of weird, but it (was).
