It has failed to understand that the world is not for the beholding. It is for hearing. It is not legible, but audible. Our science has always desired to monitor, measure, abstract, and castrate meaning, forgetting that life is full of noise and that death alone is silent: work noise, noise of man, and noise of beast. Noise bought, sold, or prohibited. Nothing essential happens in the absence of noise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How you spend your time is more important than how you spend your money.

But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43377</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An honest tale speeds best being plainly told. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51517]]></link><description><![CDATA[An honest tale speeds best being plainly told.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As long as I count the votes what are you going to do about it? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61014]]></link><description><![CDATA[As long as I count the votes what are you going to do about it?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61014</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Youth is a period of missed opportunities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62583]]></link><description><![CDATA[Youth is a period of missed opportunities.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is to hope, though hope were lost. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19759]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is to hope, though hope were lost.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19759</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To believe that if we could but have this or that we would be happy is to suppress the realization ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52300]]></link><description><![CDATA[To believe that if we could but have this or that we would be happy is to suppress the realization that the cause of our unhappiness is in our inadequate and blemished selves.

Mother, wife, or sister, Woman is the caress of life, the soothing sweetness of affection shed over its toils, a reflection for the individual of the loving providence which watches over Humanity. In her there is treasure enough of consoling tenderness to allay every pain. Moreover for every one of us she is the initiator of the future. The mother's first kiss teaches the child love; the first holy kiss of the woman he loves teaches man hope and faith in life; and love and faith create a desire for perfection and the power of reaching towards it step by step; create the future, in short, of which the living symbol is the child, link between us and the generations to come. Through her the Family, with its divine mystery of reproduction, points to Eternity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63092</guid></item></channel></rss>
