Lazarus is permitted to see what he believed, but the rich man is compelled to see what he did not believe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remember that everyone you meet is afraid of something, loves something and has lost something. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15519]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remember that everyone you meet is afraid of something, loves something and has lost something.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman who can't forgive should never have more than a nodding acquaintance with a man.
