I see that morning in Thy convert's tears,  Fresh as the dew, which but this downing wears.  I smell her spices; and her ointment yields  As rich a scent as the now primrosed fields:  The Day-star smiles, and light, with Thee deceased,  Now shines in all the chambers of the East.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6211</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I really didn't want to get that far back but the turns were really tough, I didn't really run them ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41782]]></link><description><![CDATA[I really didn't want to get that far back but the turns were really tough, I didn't really run them right.

The more successfully such systems respond to diversity, the more "chaos" there will be, by definition, according to the standards of any specific set of values- other than diversity or freedom as values. Looked at another way, the more self-righteous observers there are, the more chaos (and "waste") will be seen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By the street of by-and-by, one arrives at the house of never. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14583]]></link><description><![CDATA[By the street of by-and-by, one arrives at the house of never.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unhappiness is in not knowing what we want and killing ourselves toget it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21304]]></link><description><![CDATA[Unhappiness is in not knowing what we want and killing ourselves toget it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21304</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best way to make happy money is to make money your hobby and notyour god. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21084]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best way to make happy money is to make money your hobby and notyour god.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[About the time we think we can make ends meet, somebody moves the ends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24335]]></link><description><![CDATA[About the time we think we can make ends meet, somebody moves the ends.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24335</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A poem records emotions and moods that lie beyond normal language, that can only be patched together and hinted at ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33583]]></link><description><![CDATA[A poem records emotions and moods that lie beyond normal language, that can only be patched together and hinted at metaphorically.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm of the opinion that school systems in the United States are not funded properly.

He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly as necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Observation--activity of both eyes and ears. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44799]]></link><description><![CDATA[Observation--activity of both eyes and ears.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes when I feel like killing someone, I do a little trick to calm myself down.
