Such tricks hath strong imagination, That if it would but apprehend some joy, It comprehends some bringer of that joy; Or in the night, imagining some fear, How easy is a bush supposed a bear! -A Midsummer Night's Dream. Act v. Sc. 1.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The miser is as much in want of what he has, as of what he has not. [Lat., Tam deest ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42746]]></link><description><![CDATA[The miser is as much in want of what he has, as of what he has not. [Lat., Tam deest avaro quod habet, quam quod non habet.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In hatred as in love, we grow like the thing we brood upon.

He is both Father and Son bound together in one Spirit. We are created to be brothers under God, the Father. The human family is our best illustration of how each person grows in his unique potentialities by sharing in the loving care of a society of other persons. Yet each member of the family discovers what it is to give of himself for the sake of the others. The human family is only an analogy both for our thought about God and about society; but no Christian thought gets very far away from it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7048</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In a war of ideas, it is people who get killed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61145]]></link><description><![CDATA[In a war of ideas, it is people who get killed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61145</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23699]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23699</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every Irishman has a potatoe in his head. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23044]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every Irishman has a potatoe in his head.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23044</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shoot for the moon, even if you miss you will land among the stars. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1472]]></link><description><![CDATA[Shoot for the moon, even if you miss you will land among the stars.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1472</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything you can imagine is real. -Picasso. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20558]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything you can imagine is real. -Picasso.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I shut my eyes in order to see. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23]]></link><description><![CDATA[I shut my eyes in order to see.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trust not those cunning waters of his eyes, For villany is not without such rheum. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51350]]></link><description><![CDATA[Trust not those cunning waters of his eyes, For villany is not without such rheum.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You don't have to hold a position in order to be a leader. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24419]]></link><description><![CDATA[You don't have to hold a position in order to be a leader.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While I plan, and plan, my hair Is gray before I know it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51725]]></link><description><![CDATA[While I plan, and plan, my hair Is gray before I know it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51725</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now I see the secret of the making of the best persons.

For even they are sure that to live for nothing higher than oneself is to lose life; that life, to be called life, can be found only in serving something bigger than one's personal interests; something that crowds these out of mind and heart, till one forgets about them and lives wholly, and without exception, for that other, worthier thing... It is long since Aristotle told us that only barbarians have as their ideal the wish to live as they please, and to do what they like. And the New Testament gravely sets us down before the Cross, and bids us gaze, and still gaze, and keep gazing, till the fact has soaked itself into our minds that that, not less than that, is now the standard set us, and that whatever in our lives clashes with that is sin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They are doing very well, making good money, more money than the rooms. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35809]]></link><description><![CDATA[They are doing very well, making good money, more money than the rooms.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35809</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am closing my 52 years of military service.

When I joined the army, even before the turn of the century, it was the fulfillment of all my boyish hopes and dreams. The world has turned over many times since I took the oath on the plain at West Point, and the hopes and dreams have long since vanished, but I still remember the refrain of one of the most barracks ballads of that day which proclaimed most proudly that old soldiers never die; they just fade away.  And like the old soldier of that ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty.
