Will the day come when the only bird a typical American child ever sees is a canary in a pet shop window? When the only wild animal he knows is a rat - glimpsed on a night drive through some city slum? When the only tree he touches is the cleverly fabricated plastic evergreen that shades his gifts on Christmas morning?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43870</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I invite our friends and allies to work together for the commitment of democracy, freedom and peace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39082]]></link><description><![CDATA[I invite our friends and allies to work together for the commitment of democracy, freedom and peace.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39082</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Think of your forefathers!

With the exception of the book of Daniel, which the Jews themselves never classed among the prophecies, and an obscure text of Jeremiah, there is not a passage in all the Old Testament which favours the notion of a temporal Messiah. What moral object was there, for which such a Messiah should come? What could he have been but a sort of virtuous Napoleon?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18624]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is so much balance to our conference.

You may have to dig deep to find it but its there. Everything is the same even though its different. Somehow everything connects back with your life. The faces in certain places may be different, but the situation is the same. Irony is a hidden factor that creeps around us in life, letting its presence felt only after it has left. Picture back to a year ago and the situation you were in. Look at how things are different yet somehow everything it still in someway cognate. Everything connects together to form the balance of life, to maintain structure. Change is and always will be inevitable, but everything is relative, and all the moments and times in your life will come back around again, you just might find yourself on the other side of the coin. Things are always changing, as fast as everything stays the same.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is our illusions that create the world ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20468]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is our illusions that create the world]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Old Woman and the PhysicianAn old woman having lost the use of her eyes, called in a Physician to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1569]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Old Woman and the PhysicianAn old woman having lost the use of her eyes, called in a Physician to heal them, and made this bargain with him in the presence of witnesses: that if he should cure her blindness, he should receive from her a sum of money; but if her infirmity remained, she should give him nothing. This agreement being made, the Physician, time after time, applied his salve to her eyes, and on every visit took something away, stealing all her property little by little. And when he had got all she had, he healed her and demanded the promised payment. The Old Woman, when she recovered her sight and saw none of her goods in her house, would give him nothing. The Physician insisted on his claim, and. as she still refused, summoned her before the Judge. The Old Woman, standing up in the Court, argued: This man here speaks the truth in what he says; for I did promise to give him a sum of money if I should recover my sight: but if I continued blind, I was to give him nothing. Now he declares that I am healed. I on the contrary affirm that I am still blind; for when I lost the use of my eyes, I saw in my house various chattels and valuable goods: but now, though he swears I am cured of my blindness, I am not able to see a single thing in it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A child of those tears. [Lat., Filius istarum lacrymarum.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58782]]></link><description><![CDATA[A child of those tears. [Lat., Filius istarum lacrymarum.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The emergency we face in the Horn today is the result of successive seasons of failed rains.
