When it is not, he takes his mind off his own meaningless affairs by minding other people's business.This minding of other people's business expresses itself in gossip, snooping and meddling, and also in feverish interest in communal, national and racial affairs. In running away from ourselves we either fall on our neighbor's shoulder or fly at his throat.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whom drink made wits, though nature made them fools. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48823]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whom drink made wits, though nature made them fools.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48823</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who do not hate their own selfishness and regard themselves as more important than the rest of the world ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55080]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who do not hate their own selfishness and regard themselves as more important than the rest of the world are blind because the truth lies elsewhere]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Americans are pragmatic, relatively uncomplicated, hearty and given to broad humor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66363]]></link><description><![CDATA[Americans are pragmatic, relatively uncomplicated, hearty and given to broad humor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66363</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Wilfrid, Abbot of Ripon, Bishop of York, Missionary, 709 Commemoration of Elizabeth Fry, Prison Reformer, 1845   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6840]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Wilfrid, Abbot of Ripon, Bishop of York, Missionary, 709 Commemoration of Elizabeth Fry, Prison Reformer, 1845   Life provides all kinds of astonishingly effective anodynes and narcotics, all of which are nothing but misused gifts of God. But there in hell--that is, beyond a fixed boundary set by God--all the securities and safeguards disappear into thin air. What here is only a tiny flame of secret self-reproach that flickers up occasionally and is quickly smothered, there becomes a scorching fire. What here is no more than a slight ticking sound in our conscience suddenly becomes the trumpet tone of judgment which can no longer be ignored. Lazarus is permitted to see what he believed, but the rich man is compelled to see what he did not believe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The medicine increases the disease. [Lat., Aegrescitque medendo.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26730]]></link><description><![CDATA[The medicine increases the disease. [Lat., Aegrescitque medendo.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26730</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you. -John ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55241]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you. -John Wooden.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cover your selfe with your shield, and care not for cryes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49185]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cover your selfe with your shield, and care not for cryes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Well-washed and well-combed domestic pets grow dull; they miss the stimulus of fleas. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12679]]></link><description><![CDATA[Well-washed and well-combed domestic pets grow dull; they miss the stimulus of fleas.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have gained my experience. -As You Like It.
