They feel our generosity as oppression.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52315</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thrice happy he, who by some shady grove, Far from the clamorous world; doth live his own;  Though solitary, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57178]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thrice happy he, who by some shady grove, Far from the clamorous world; doth live his own;  Though solitary, who is not alone,   But doth converse with that eternal love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57178</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of our tasks; the ultimate, the last ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25921]]></link><description><![CDATA[For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of our tasks; the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first blow is as much as two. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49849]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first blow is as much as two.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is Hebrew to me. [Fr., C'est de l'hebreu pour moi.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25130]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is Hebrew to me. [Fr., C'est de l'hebreu pour moi.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25130</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must laugh before we are happy, for fear we die before we laugh at all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24182]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must laugh before we are happy, for fear we die before we laugh at all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24182</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future.
