Then everybody would leave the Cricket Boy alone, and I'd invite him over to spend the night at my house, but after about five minutes of that loud chirping I'd have to kick him out. Maybe later we could get up a petition to get the Cricket Family run out of town. Bye, Cricket Boy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Among men and women, those in love do not always announce themselves with declarations and vows.

Or recall the infinite pains that have been taken, down the centuries, to preserve minute orthodoxy in all points of mental belief while ugly evils flaunt along the streets and are accepted meekly as part of the makeup of things! Or recollect how easy it is to assume that we, ourselves, are Christian people. Why? Oh, well, just the usual reasons: we say our prayers, when we are not too sleepy; and we come to church, when there is nothing much to do; and so, of course, there is no doubt of it, although our tempers may remain uncurbed, and our characters are not the least like Jesus Christ's, nor growing any nearer it! Do we not need that solemn warning that Christ gives us when He tells us bluntly that many people lose their lives and souls, because they are always laying the emphasis and stress on the wrong points?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Kings are earth's gods; in vice their law's their will. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54535]]></link><description><![CDATA[Kings are earth's gods; in vice their law's their will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54535</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who knows he has enough is rich. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21545]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who knows he has enough is rich.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21545</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People had expected everyone to miss the quarter so it's not surprising that they missed.
