It is the only power in the world that seems to overcome the so-called "laws of nature"; the occasions on which prayer has dramatically done this have been termed "miracles". But a constant, quieter miracle takes place hourly in the hearts of men and women who have discovered that prayer supplies them with a steady flow of sustaining power in their daily lives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6954</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let it be impressed upon your minds, let it be instilled into your children, that the liberty of the press ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16730]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let it be impressed upon your minds, let it be instilled into your children, that the liberty of the press is the palladium of all the civil, political, and religious rights.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16730</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe though I do not comprehend, and I hold by faith what I cannot grasp with the mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53711]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe though I do not comprehend, and I hold by faith what I cannot grasp with the mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The difference between a professional person and a technician is that a technician knows everything about his job except its ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57059]]></link><description><![CDATA[The difference between a professional person and a technician is that a technician knows everything about his job except its ultimate purpose and his place in the scheme of things.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57059</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For men must work and women must weep, And the sooner it's over the sooner to sleep,  And good-bye ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62121]]></link><description><![CDATA[For men must work and women must weep, And the sooner it's over the sooner to sleep,  And good-bye to the bar and its moaning.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62121</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Their own death accompanies the wound they inflict. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51829]]></link><description><![CDATA[Their own death accompanies the wound they inflict.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51829</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you think your boss is stupid, remember: you wouldn't have a job if he was any smarter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4774]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you think your boss is stupid, remember: you wouldn't have a job if he was any smarter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4774</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of all the judgments we pass in life, none is more important than the judgment we pass on ourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52122]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of all the judgments we pass in life, none is more important than the judgment we pass on ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By the age of twenty, any young man should know whether or not he is to be a specialist and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26589]]></link><description><![CDATA[By the age of twenty, any young man should know whether or not he is to be a specialist and just where his tastes lie.

The difference between sex and death is that with death you can do it alone and no one is going to make fun of you. •Woody Allen  At the end of the game the king and the pawn go back in the same box. •Italian Proverb  Life is a great surprise. I don't see why death should not be an even greater one. •Vladimir Nabokov  Dear World, I am leaving because I am bored. I feel I have lived long enough. I am leaving you with your worries in this sweet cesspool. Good luck. •George Sanders, his suicide note  There is no cure for birth and death save to enjoy the interval. •Santayana  Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh. •George Bernard Shaw  Do not go gentle into that good night. Old age should burn and rave at close of day. Rage, rage against the dying of the light. •Dylan Thomas  To live is to dream and to die is to awaken. •Anonymous   We sometimes congratulate ourselves at the moment of waking from a troubled dream; it may be so at the moment after death. •Nathaniel Hawthorne  All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another. •Anatole France   We are bound to our bodies like an oyster is to its shell. •Plato   Dying is like getting out of a car. You leave a shell behind, but you're the same person as ever. •President Klein  The mark of your ignorance is the depth of your belief in injustice and tragedy . What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly. •Richard Bach  If there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life. •Albert Camus   We do not know what to do with this short life, yet we yearn for another that will be eternal. •Anatole France  I'm the one who has to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life, the way I want to. •Jimi Hendrix  The real malady is fear of life, not of death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[(King Ferdinand:) In love, I hope--sweet fellowship in shame! (Berowne:) One drunkard loves another of the name. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22930]]></link><description><![CDATA[(King Ferdinand:) In love, I hope--sweet fellowship in shame! (Berowne:) One drunkard loves another of the name.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22930</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman will doubt everything you say except it be compliments to herself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64732]]></link><description><![CDATA[A woman will doubt everything you say except it be compliments to herself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64732</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As citizens of this democracy, you are the rulers and the ruled, the law-givers and the law-abiding, the beginning and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8789]]></link><description><![CDATA[As citizens of this democracy, you are the rulers and the ruled, the law-givers and the law-abiding, the beginning and the end.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8789</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Live like yourself," was soon my lady's word, And lo! two puddings smok'd upon the board. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13251]]></link><description><![CDATA["Live like yourself," was soon my lady's word, And lo! two puddings smok'd upon the board.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[RIM is definitely trying to push aggressively with their technology, but legal issues are holding them back from going full ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30414]]></link><description><![CDATA[RIM is definitely trying to push aggressively with their technology, but legal issues are holding them back from going full throttle and coming out with new devices and technologies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30414</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship.

There is no telling to what extremes of cruelty and ruthlessness a man will go when he is freed from the fears, hesitations, doubts and the vague stirrings of decency that go with individual judgement. When we lose our individual independence in the corporateness of a mass movement, we find a new freedom- freedom to hate, bully, lie, torture, murder and betray without shame and remorse. Herein undoubtedly lies part of the attractiveness of a mass movement.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The love of Christ both wounds and heals, it fascinates and frightens, it kills and makes alive, it draws and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7204]]></link><description><![CDATA[The love of Christ both wounds and heals, it fascinates and frightens, it kills and makes alive, it draws and repulses.

But the spirit of prayer is for all times and occasions; it is a lamp that is to be always burning, a light to be ever shining: everything calls for it; everything is to be done in it and governed by it, because it is and means and wills nothing else but the totality of the soul -- not doing this or that, but wholly ... given up to God to be where and what and how He pleases.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My home is not a place, it is people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65408]]></link><description><![CDATA[My home is not a place, it is people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A few, a few, too few for drums and yells,May creep back, silent, to still village wellsUp half-known roads. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62243]]></link><description><![CDATA[A few, a few, too few for drums and yells,May creep back, silent, to still village wellsUp half-known roads.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62243</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But he who stems a stream with sand, And fetters flame with flaxen band,  Has yet a harder task ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51082]]></link><description><![CDATA[But he who stems a stream with sand, And fetters flame with flaxen band,  Has yet a harder task to prove--   By firm resolve to conquer love!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51082</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everybody was saying we must have more leisure.
