Melanctha was always being left when she was not leaving others. Melanctha Herbert always loved too hard and much too often. She was always full with mystery and subtle movements and denials and vague distrusts and complicated disillusions. Then Melanctha would be sudden and impulsive and unbounded in some faith, and then she would suffer and be strong in her repression. Melanctha Herbert was always seeking rest and quiet and always she could only find new ways to be in trouble.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12546</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most people would like to be delivered from temptation but would like it to keep in touch ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58932]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most people would like to be delivered from temptation but would like it to keep in touch]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My father was an eminent button-maker at Birmingham, . . . but I had a soul above buttons. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57284]]></link><description><![CDATA[My father was an eminent button-maker at Birmingham, . . . but I had a soul above buttons.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57284</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Judaism lives not in an abstract creed, but in its institutions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30116]]></link><description><![CDATA[Judaism lives not in an abstract creed, but in its institutions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For death begins with life's first breathAnd life begins at touch of death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11315]]></link><description><![CDATA[For death begins with life's first breathAnd life begins at touch of death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11315</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wouldn't read too much into it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28975]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wouldn't read too much into it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28975</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Three years ago, the hand of terrorism claimed the lives of thousands of innocent people at the World Trade Center ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29767]]></link><description><![CDATA[Three years ago, the hand of terrorism claimed the lives of thousands of innocent people at the World Trade Center in New York.

There is no telling to what extremes of cruelty and ruthlessness a man will go when he is freed from the fears, hesitations, doubts and the vague stirrings of decency that go with individual judgement. When we lose our individual independence in the corporateness of a mass movement, we find a new freedom- freedom to hate, bully, lie, torture, murder and betray without shame and remorse. Herein undoubtedly lies part of the attractiveness of a mass movement.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone wants to be Cary Grant.
