Wherever you go, make some of those women your friends; which a very little matter will do. Ask their advice, tell them your doubts or difficulties as to your behavior; but take great care not to drop one word of their experience; for experience implies age, and the suspicion of age, no woman, let her be ever so old, ever forgives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My eyes are dim with childish tears, My heart is idly stirred,  For the same sound is in my ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57302]]></link><description><![CDATA[My eyes are dim with childish tears, My heart is idly stirred,  For the same sound is in my ears   Which in those days I heard.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Since nothing we intend is ever faultless, and nothing we attempt ever without error, and nothing we achieve without some ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53270]]></link><description><![CDATA[Since nothing we intend is ever faultless, and nothing we attempt ever without error, and nothing we achieve without some measure of finitude and fallibility we call humanness, we are saved by forgiveness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The disparity between a restaurant's price and food quality rises in direct proportion to the size of the pepper mill. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54025]]></link><description><![CDATA[The disparity between a restaurant's price and food quality rises in direct proportion to the size of the pepper mill.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A better world shall emerge based on faith and understanding. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60064]]></link><description><![CDATA[A better world shall emerge based on faith and understanding.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60064</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A pessimist is an optimist with experience ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45184]]></link><description><![CDATA[A pessimist is an optimist with experience]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45184</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't like to write, but I love to have written ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62418]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't like to write, but I love to have written]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world abhors closeness, and all but admires extravagance; yet a slack hand shows weakness, and a tight hand strength. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13335]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world abhors closeness, and all but admires extravagance; yet a slack hand shows weakness, and a tight hand strength.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13335</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How can it be that mathematics, being after all a product of human thought independent of experience, is so admirably ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26539]]></link><description><![CDATA[How can it be that mathematics, being after all a product of human thought independent of experience, is so admirably adapted to the objects of reality?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A nation of monkeys with the throat of parrots. [Fr., Une natione de singes a larynx de parroquets.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16623]]></link><description><![CDATA[A nation of monkeys with the throat of parrots. [Fr., Une natione de singes a larynx de parroquets.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16623</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17739]]></link><description><![CDATA[And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17739</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most famous example is probably early on in the Harper government. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32985]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most famous example is probably early on in the Harper government.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What's the most important thing in the world?

For him shall endless prayer be made,  And princes throng to crown his head; His name, like sweet perfume, shall rise With every morning sacrifice. People and realms of every tongue Dwell on his love with sweetest song, And infant-voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on his name. Blessings abound where'er he reigns; The prisoners leap to lose their chains; The weary find eternal rest, And all the sons of want are blest. Let every creature rise and bring Honors peculiar to our King; Angels descend with songs again, And earth repeat the loud amen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No preacher is listened to but time, which gives us the same train and turn of thought that elder people ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48064]]></link><description><![CDATA[No preacher is listened to but time, which gives us the same train and turn of thought that elder people have in vain tried to put into our heads before]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48064</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thirty days hath September, April, June, and November;  February eight-and-twenty all alone,   And all the rest have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43027]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thirty days hath September, April, June, and November;  February eight-and-twenty all alone,   And all the rest have thirty-one:    Unless that leap-year doth combine,     And give to February twenty-nine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43027</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one was ever saved because his sins were small; no one was ever rejected on account of the greatness ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29561]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one was ever saved because his sins were small; no one was ever rejected on account of the greatness of his sins.

On that name an eulogy is expected. It can not be. To add brightness to the sun or glory to the name of Washington is alike impossible. Let none attempt it.

My attitude is if somebody blunders into the level of popularity, at least remember the human factor. These guys are still human beings and hopefully still have hearts and if you keep in touch with them rather than vilify them you may be able to encourage them to go in the right direction. What I'm hoping will eventually happen is that they will grasp the amount of power and financial clout that is now at their fingertips and use those as tools to help real people with real things the way punk politics was always designed to do before, but nobody had any money.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All programmers are playwrights and all computers are lousy actors. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9415]]></link><description><![CDATA[All programmers are playwrights and all computers are lousy actors.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9415</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his deeds.
