We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors. They purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood. It will bring a mark of everlasting infamy on the present generation – enlightened as it is – if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of designing men." -Samuel Adams]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9900</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think many experiences are bound to be failures, and sometimes I regret them before they even happen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39914]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think many experiences are bound to be failures, and sometimes I regret them before they even happen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39914</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But to me the actual sound of the words is all important; I feel always that the words complete the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44925]]></link><description><![CDATA[But to me the actual sound of the words is all important; I feel always that the words complete the music and must never be swallowed up in it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44925</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man finds he has been wrong at every preceding stage of his career, only to deduce the astonishing conclusion ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62459]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man finds he has been wrong at every preceding stage of his career, only to deduce the astonishing conclusion that he is at last entirely right.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You three (county commissioners) sitting here have the power to end this today, but you won't, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40110]]></link><description><![CDATA[You three (county commissioners) sitting here have the power to end this today, but you won't,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40110</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Support a compatriot against a native, however the former may blunder or plunder. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17990]]></link><description><![CDATA[Support a compatriot against a native, however the former may blunder or plunder.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think that for the highest achievements nowadays... need to have the stable as a rock scientific base.

We invoke the true God for the Emperor. Even if he persecute us, we are bidden to pray for them that persecute us, as you can read in our books, which are not hidden, which you often get hold of. We pray for him because the Empire lies between us and the end of the world. We count the Caesars to be God's vice-regents and swear by their safety (not by their genius, as required). As for loyalty, Caesar really is more ours than yours; for it was our God who set him up. It is for his own good, that we refuse to call the Emperor God; Father of his Country is a better title. No Christian has ever made a plot against a Caesar; the famous conspirators and assassins were heathen, one and all. Piety, religion, faith are our best offering of loyalty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6844</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How lovely he appears! his little cheeks In their pure incarnation, vying with  The rose leaves strewn beneath them. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3628]]></link><description><![CDATA[How lovely he appears! his little cheeks In their pure incarnation, vying with  The rose leaves strewn beneath them.   And his lips, too,    How beautifully parted!
