And it's super fun, because anything can happen! It's pure creativity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3371</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no remedy for time misspent; No healing for the waste of idleness,  Whose very languor is a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20351]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no remedy for time misspent; No healing for the waste of idleness,  Whose very languor is a punishment   Heavier than active souls can feel or guess.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hypocrisy can afford to be magnificent in its promises, for never intending to go beyond promise, it costs nothing ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20216]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hypocrisy can afford to be magnificent in its promises, for never intending to go beyond promise, it costs nothing]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[David's shooting about 90 percent from the free throw line. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33766]]></link><description><![CDATA[David's shooting about 90 percent from the free throw line.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He actually came up to me and we started speaking.
