Perhaps someone will interpose here that such moderation is so uniformly absent from any lawsuit that it would be a miracle if any such were found. Indeed, I admit that, as the customs of these times go, an example of an upright litigant is rare; but the thing itself, when not corrupted by the addition of anything evil, does not cease to be good and pure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7465</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How lovely are the portals of the night, When stars come out to watch the daylight die. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59918]]></link><description><![CDATA[How lovely are the portals of the night, When stars come out to watch the daylight die.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59918</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was the calm and silent night! Seven hundred years and fifty-three  Had Rome been growing up to might ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8630]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was the calm and silent night! Seven hundred years and fifty-three  Had Rome been growing up to might   And now was queen of land and sea.    No sound was heard of clashing wars,     Peace brooded o'er the hushed domain;      Apollo, Pallas, Jove and Mars,       Held undisturbed their ancient reign,        In the solemn midnight,         Centuries ago.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8630</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the act of a bad man to deceive by falsehood. [Lat., Improbi hominis est mendacio fallere.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11523]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the act of a bad man to deceive by falsehood. [Lat., Improbi hominis est mendacio fallere.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm interested in the fact that the less secure a man is, the more likely he is to have extreme ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48102]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm interested in the fact that the less secure a man is, the more likely he is to have extreme prejudice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48102</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If man is not made for God, why is he not happy except in God?

Half of the secular unrest and dismal, profane sadness of modern society comes from the vain idea that every man is bound to be a critic of life, and to let no day pass without finding some fault with the general order of things, or projecting some plan for its general improvement. And the other half comes from the greedy notion that a man's life does consist, after all, in the abundance of things that he possesseth, and that it is, somehow or other, more respectable and pious to be always at work trying to make a larger living, than it is to lie on your back in the green pastures and beside the still waters, and thank God that you are alive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let me give you a definition of ethics: It is good to maintain and further life it is bad to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63704]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let me give you a definition of ethics: It is good to maintain and further life it is bad to damage and destroy life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63704</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would be willing to bet that if one day a woman walked barefoot to the moon and back and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3430]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would be willing to bet that if one day a woman walked barefoot to the moon and back and a man cleaned out his desk, when the two of them sat down to dinner that night he would say, ‘Boy was that desk a mess.’]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3430</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They like being in front.
