Thus pride may seem to be nothing but a frame of mind belonging unto our wealth and dignity, or our ... abilities; sensuality may seem to be but a lawful participation of the good things of this life; passion and peevishness, but a due sense of the want of respect that we must suppose owing unto us; covetousness, a necessary care of ourselves and of our families. If the seeds of sin are covered with such pretences, they will in time spring up and bear bitter fruit in the minds and the lives of men; and the beginning of all apostasy, both in religion and in morality, lies in just such pretences. Men plead that they can do so-and-so lawfully, until they can do things openly unlawful.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But to see her was to love her, Love but her, and love forever. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25847]]></link><description><![CDATA[But to see her was to love her, Love but her, and love forever.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you're going to trade a guy of that caliber, you're not going to get the same caliber of talent ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36121]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you're going to trade a guy of that caliber, you're not going to get the same caliber of talent in return.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36121</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Taxes are not levied for the benefit of the taxed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47255]]></link><description><![CDATA[Taxes are not levied for the benefit of the taxed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47255</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Before I left, I opened a lot of doors for a lot of people to play the blues. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41176]]></link><description><![CDATA[Before I left, I opened a lot of doors for a lot of people to play the blues.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41176</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So sweet, so sweet the roses in their blowing, So sweet the daffodils, so fair to see;  So blithe ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23568]]></link><description><![CDATA[So sweet, so sweet the roses in their blowing, So sweet the daffodils, so fair to see;  So blithe and gay the humming-bird a going   From flower to flower, a-hunting with the bee.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men are blind in their own cause. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5365]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men are blind in their own cause.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have a lot of people revolutionizing the world because they've never had to present a working model. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54149]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have a lot of people revolutionizing the world because they've never had to present a working model.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My mother would say it is literally ghost writerswho come to me(Tan is the author of what became The Joy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58756]]></link><description><![CDATA[My mother would say it is literally ghost writerswho come to me(Tan is the author of what became The Joy Luck Club).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you're taught to love everyone, to love your enemies, then what value does that place on love? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64564]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you're taught to love everyone, to love your enemies, then what value does that place on love?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sweet letters of the angel tongue, I've loved ye long and well,  And never have failed in your fragrance ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16240]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sweet letters of the angel tongue, I've loved ye long and well,  And never have failed in your fragrance sweet   To find some secret spell,--    A charm that has bound me with witching power,     For mine is the old belief,      That midst your sweets and midst your bloom,       There's a soul in every leaf!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16240</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We'll be ready to play whether it's Monday or Saturday.

And when they are wicked, the Humanitarian theory of punishment will put in their hands a finer instrument of tyranny than wickedness ever had before. For if crime and disease are to be regarded as the same thing, it follows that any state of mind which our masters choose to call 'disease' can be treated as crime, and compulsorily cured. It will be vain to plead that states of mind which displease the government need not always involve moral turpitude and do not therefore always deserve forfeiture of liberty. For our masters will not be using the concepts of Desert and Punishment but those of disease and cure. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of those things that's good to see him running around. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39813]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of those things that's good to see him running around.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think universal service has to evolve into broadband sooner rather than later, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38987]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think universal service has to evolve into broadband sooner rather than later,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38987</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wrongs of a Husband or Master are not reproached. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49942]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wrongs of a Husband or Master are not reproached.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If ever two were one, then surely we.
