And it's never stale."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would rather excel others in the knowledge of what is excellent than in the extent of my powers and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63777]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would rather excel others in the knowledge of what is excellent than in the extent of my powers and dominion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63777</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am bound to furnish my antagonists with arguments, but not with comprehension. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3044]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am bound to furnish my antagonists with arguments, but not with comprehension.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3044</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Barkis is willin'! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48941]]></link><description><![CDATA[Barkis is willin'!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48941</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People need trouble -- a little frustration to sharpen the spirit on, toughen it.
