I love thee with the passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints, -I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life! - and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25759</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There can be no existence of evil as a force to the healthy-minded individual. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14320]]></link><description><![CDATA[There can be no existence of evil as a force to the healthy-minded individual.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14320</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Affection, like melancholy, magnifies trifles; but the magnifying of the one is like looking through a telescope at heavenly objects; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1627]]></link><description><![CDATA[Affection, like melancholy, magnifies trifles; but the magnifying of the one is like looking through a telescope at heavenly objects; that of the other, like enlarging monsters with a microscope.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1627</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...
