I'll go over to the person's house and ring the doorbell. When the person comes to the door, I'm gone, but you know what I've left on the porch? A jack-o-lantern with a knife stuck in the side of its head with a note that says 'You.' After that I usually feel a lot better, and no harm done.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is better to have a lion at the head of an army od sheep, than a sheep at the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24486]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is better to have a lion at the head of an army od sheep, than a sheep at the head of an army of lions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24486</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In this age, which believes that there is a short cut to everything, the greatest lesson to be learned is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1216]]></link><description><![CDATA[In this age, which believes that there is a short cut to everything, the greatest lesson to be learned is that the most difficult way is, in the long run, the easiest. - The Books in My Life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One stumble is enough to deface the character of an honorable life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/978]]></link><description><![CDATA[One stumble is enough to deface the character of an honorable life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/978</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like people, like priest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48569]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like people, like priest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Guess, if you can, and choose, if you dare. [Lat., Devine, si tu peux, et choisis, si tu l'oses.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6058]]></link><description><![CDATA[Guess, if you can, and choose, if you dare. [Lat., Devine, si tu peux, et choisis, si tu l'oses.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To rebound from losing to Mansfield on Monday and to be down 10-3 at halftime, it would have been an ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37361]]></link><description><![CDATA[To rebound from losing to Mansfield on Monday and to be down 10-3 at halftime, it would have been an easy thing for them to pack it in.

Yet people attempt to evade His statement. Generally speaking, these are the very people who are the quickest in laying the blame upon God for all the sorrow and sin in the world. They argue that He could prevent it. They excuse their own do-nothing attitude by making of evil's apparent predominance a ground for doubt of His loving kindness. It never seems to occur to them to look for the cause in mankind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6638</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The bubble winked at me, and said, "You'll miss me brother, when you're dead." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59392]]></link><description><![CDATA[The bubble winked at me, and said, "You'll miss me brother, when you're dead."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59392</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're back on schedule.

As Christ gives Himself to feed us, so we have to incarnate something of His all-loving, all-sacrificing soul. If we do not, then we have not really received Him. That is the plain truth. It has been said that there are many ways and degrees of receiving the Blessed Sacrament. It really depends on how wide we open our hearts. A spiritually selfish communion is not a communion at all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7802</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where are you going to find somebody who doesn't know us in Hernando County? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40968]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where are you going to find somebody who doesn't know us in Hernando County?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40968</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ere you consult your fancy, consult your purse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13339]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ere you consult your fancy, consult your purse.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13339</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our project will bring a Las Vegas, New York and Miami/style atmosphere to Orlando and people seem to find it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30953]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our project will bring a Las Vegas, New York and Miami/style atmosphere to Orlando and people seem to find it appealing.

So, if God puts up with it for the sake of some good He foresees for you, and if you are willing to suffer what God suffers, and to take what comes to you through Him, then whatever it is, it becomes divine in itself; shame becomes honor, bitterness becomes sweet, and gross darkness, clear light. Everything takes its savor from God and becomes divine; everything that happens betrays God when a man's mind works that way. Things have all this one taste; and therefore God is the same to this man alike in life's bitterest moments and sweetest pleasures.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8402</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jazz is the music of the body ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23128]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jazz is the music of the body]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23128</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody will laugh long who deals much with opium: its pleasures even are of a grave and solemn complexion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45021]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nobody will laugh long who deals much with opium: its pleasures even are of a grave and solemn complexion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Martin Luther, Teacher, Reformer, 1546  Let every man recognize what he is, and be certain that we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8306]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Martin Luther, Teacher, Reformer, 1546  Let every man recognize what he is, and be certain that we are all equally priests, that is, we have the same power in the word and in any sacrament whatever.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just as it is true that a stream cannot rise above its source, so it is true that a national ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25337]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just as it is true that a stream cannot rise above its source, so it is true that a national literature cannot rise above the moral level of the social conditions of the people from whom it derives its inspiration.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had not planned on having any vote, other than just to study (the contract), ...
