Does he think that in that way he will have straightway persuaded us to have complete confidence in him, to look to him for consolation, for advice, and for help, in the vicissitudes of life? Do such men think that they have delighted us by telling us that they hold our souls to be nothing but a little wind and smoke -- and by saying it in conceited and complacent tones? Is that a thing to say blithely? Is it not rather a thing to say sadly -- as if it were the saddest thing in the world?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8042</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We start from the Mother's Arms and we run to the Dustshovel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48940]]></link><description><![CDATA[We start from the Mother's Arms and we run to the Dustshovel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is going to determine how you're going to live your life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64777]]></link><description><![CDATA[Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is going to determine how you're going to live your life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64777</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own.
