You can't live with them, you can't live with them. The first sign of these nasty purulent sores appeared round about 1894. With their jangling keys, nasty suits, revolting beards, moustaches and tinted spectacles, estate agents roam the land causing perturbation and despair. If you try and kill them, you're put in prison: if you try and talk to them, you vomit. There's only one thing worse than an estate agent but at least that can be safely lanced, drained and surgically dressed. Estate agents. Love them or loathe them, you'd be mad not to loathe them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19642</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We could be on scene and see someone mistreat an animal and we couldn't arrest them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40406]]></link><description><![CDATA[We could be on scene and see someone mistreat an animal and we couldn't arrest them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sow an action, reap a habit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18526]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sow an action, reap a habit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It makes a great difference in our feelings towards others if their needs and their joys are on our lips ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6241]]></link><description><![CDATA[It makes a great difference in our feelings towards others if their needs and their joys are on our lips in prayer; as also it makes a vast difference in their feelings towards us if they know that we are in the habit of praying for them.

The day and the spirit of Christmas rearrange the world parade. As the world arranges it, usually there come first in importance -- leading the parade with a big blare of a band -- the Big Shots. Frequently they are also the Stuffed Shirts. That's the first of the parade. Then at the tail end, as of little importance, trudge the weary, the poor, the lame, the halt, and the blind. But in the Christmas spirit, the procession is turned around. Those at the tail end are put first in the arrangement of the Child of Christmas.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shall I never see a bachelor of threescore again? -Much Ado about Nothing.
