We allowed you a charade of trivial freedoms in order to avoid making those impositions on you that are in the end both the training ground and proving ground for true independence. We pronounced you strong when you were still weak in order to avoid the struggles with you that would have fed your true strength. We proclaimed you sound when you were foolish in order to avoid taking part in the long, slow, slogging effort that is the only route to genuine maturity of mind and feeling. Thus, it was no small anomaly of your growing up that while you were the most indulged generation, you were also in many ways the most abandoned to your own meager devices by those into whose safe-keeping you had been given.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If God has created us in His image, we have more than returned the compliment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17728]]></link><description><![CDATA[If God has created us in His image, we have more than returned the compliment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17728</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/75]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/75</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you have ten thousand regulations you destroy all respect for the law. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47560]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you have ten thousand regulations you destroy all respect for the law.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5895]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The spinsters and the knitters in the sun And the free maids that weave their thread with bones Do use ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55751]]></link><description><![CDATA[The spinsters and the knitters in the sun And the free maids that weave their thread with bones Do use to chant it: it is silly sooth, And dallies with the innocence of love, Like the old age. -Twelfth Night.

Do not take up the vain excuse of your rawness of inexperience which you may imagine or assume. For sterile modesty is never pleasing, not that humility laudable which passes the bounds of reason. Attend to your work; drive out bashfulness by a sense of duty, and act as a master. But I am not sufficient for these things, you say. As if your offering were not accepted from what you have, and not from what you have not. Be prepared to answer for the single talent committed to your charge, and take no thought for the test. For he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. Give all, as assuredly you shall pay to the uttermost farthing; but of a truth out of what you have, not what you have not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The future starts today, not tomorrow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66585]]></link><description><![CDATA[The future starts today, not tomorrow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At the end of my trial, I was rather hoping the judge would send me to Australia for the rest ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37724]]></link><description><![CDATA[At the end of my trial, I was rather hoping the judge would send me to Australia for the rest of my life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37724</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pansies?
