Mother, wife, or sister, Woman is the caress of life, the soothing sweetness of affection shed over its toils, a reflection for the individual of the loving providence which watches over Humanity.

The mother's first kiss teaches the child love; the first holy kiss of the woman he loves teaches man hope and faith in life; and love and faith create a desire for perfection and the power of reaching towards it step by step; create the future, in short, of which the living symbol is the child, link between us and the generations to come. Through her the Family, with its divine mystery of reproduction, points to Eternity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the standing jokes of Congress is that the new Congressman always spends the first week wondering how he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9758]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the standing jokes of Congress is that the new Congressman always spends the first week wondering how he got there and the rest of the time wondering how the other members got there]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9758</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know Kurtis is going to generate some interest (from scouts) this year, and he needs to be able to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34553]]></link><description><![CDATA[I know Kurtis is going to generate some interest (from scouts) this year, and he needs to be able to handle that mentally.
