Well, you commit yourself to that one percent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The nice part about being a pessimist is that you are constantly being either proven right or pleasantly surprised. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65940]]></link><description><![CDATA[The nice part about being a pessimist is that you are constantly being either proven right or pleasantly surprised.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest vicissitude of things amongst men, is the vicissitude of sects and religions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53457]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest vicissitude of things amongst men, is the vicissitude of sects and religions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53457</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nudity is the uniform of the other side... nudity is a shroud. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44705]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nudity is the uniform of the other side... nudity is a shroud.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44705</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man too busy to take care of his health is like a mechanic too bus to take care of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50963]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man too busy to take care of his health is like a mechanic too bus to take care of his tools.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50963</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination. - The Quest for Certainty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9441]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination. - The Quest for Certainty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You've got to keep fighting; you've got to risk your life every six months to stay alive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21886]]></link><description><![CDATA[You've got to keep fighting; you've got to risk your life every six months to stay alive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21886</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's easier to go down a hill than up it but the view is much better at the top. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/869]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's easier to go down a hill than up it but the view is much better at the top.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/869</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's an enjoyable experience to make a difference, ...
