Some were mountainous; some lay in long, monotonous rows like, the basalt precipices hanging over desert canons. Such was the background of the wonderful, cruel, enchanting, bewildering, fatal, great city. But into this background were cut myriads of brilliant parallelograms and circles and squares through which glowed many colored lights. And out of the violet and purple depths ascended like the city's soul, sound and odors and thrills that make up the civic body. There arose the breath of gaiety unrestrained, of love, of hate, of all the passions that man can know. There below him lay all things, good or bad, that can be brought from the four corners of the earth to instruct, please, thrill, enrich, elevate, cast down, nurture or kill. Thus the flavor of it came up to him and went into his blood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't shit on your own doorstep. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50979]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't shit on your own doorstep.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the crow had been satisfied to eat his prey in silence, he would have had more meat and less ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54726]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the crow had been satisfied to eat his prey in silence, he would have had more meat and less quarreling and envy. [Lat., Sed tacitus pasci si posset corvus, haberet  Plus dapis, et rixae multo minus invidiaeque.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54726</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It [true love] is the secret sympathy, The silver link, the silken tie,  Which heart to heart, and mind ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58531]]></link><description><![CDATA[It [true love] is the secret sympathy, The silver link, the silken tie,  Which heart to heart, and mind to mind   In body and in soul can bind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hell is paved with good intentions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19131]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hell is paved with good intentions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53340]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53340</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have spent my life laboriously doing nothing. [Lat., Vitam perdidi laboricose agendo.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23937]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have spent my life laboriously doing nothing. [Lat., Vitam perdidi laboricose agendo.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And oftentimes excusing of a fault doth make the fault the worse by the excuse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14466]]></link><description><![CDATA[And oftentimes excusing of a fault doth make the fault the worse by the excuse.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14466</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How oft the sight of means to do ill deeds Make deeds ill done! -King John.

That question has searched religion for contraband goods, stripped it of old superstitions, forced it to change its categories of thought and methods of work, and in general has so cowed and scared religion that many modern-minded believers... instinctively throw up their hands at the mere whisper of it... When a prominent scientist comes out strongly for religion, all the churches thank Heaven and take courage, as though it were the highest possible compliment to God to have Eddington believe in Him. Science has become the arbiter of this generation's thought, until to call even a prophet and a seer 'scientific' is to cap the climax of praise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I worship the quicksand he walks in. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62301]]></link><description><![CDATA[I worship the quicksand he walks in.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62301</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a green hill far away, / Without a city wall, / Where the dear Lord was crucified,/ Who ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31241]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a green hill far away, / Without a city wall, / Where the dear Lord was crucified,/ Who died to save us all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You learn to like someone when you find out what makes them laugh, but you can never truly love someone ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53257]]></link><description><![CDATA[You learn to like someone when you find out what makes them laugh, but you can never truly love someone until you find out what makes them cry.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prohibition is better than no liquor at all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48385]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prohibition is better than no liquor at all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48385</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great men have not been concerned with fame.
