Death and life go on their own way, carry on their own work, and stay for no opinions... What a delusion it is therefore to grow gray-headed in balancing ancient and modern opinions; to waste the precious uncertain fire of life in critical zeal and verbal animosities; when nothing but the kindling of our working will into a faith that overcometh the world, into a steadfast hope, and ever-burning love and desire of the divine life, can hinder us from falling into eternal death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7104</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you have overcome your inclination and not been overcome by it, you have reason to rejoice. [Lat., Tu si ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61602]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you have overcome your inclination and not been overcome by it, you have reason to rejoice. [Lat., Tu si animum vicisti potius quam animus te est quod gaudias.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most people are more comfortable with old problems than with new solutions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10598]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most people are more comfortable with old problems than with new solutions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dan drove like a champion, again, as he has all year long. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42478]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dan drove like a champion, again, as he has all year long.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hallo!

I remember you and recall you without effort, without exercise of will; that is, by natural impulse, indicated by a sense of duty, or of obligation. And that, I take it, is the only sort of remembering worth the having. When we think of friends, and call their faces out of the shadows, and their voices out of the echoes that faint along the corridors of memory, and do it without knowing why save that we love to do it, we content ourselves that friendship is a Reality, and not a Fancy -- that it is built upon a rock, and not upon the sands that dissolve away with the ebbing tides and carry their monuments with them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16776</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1446]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1446</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I should like to spend the whole of my life in travelling abroad, if I could anywhere borrow another life ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59577]]></link><description><![CDATA[I should like to spend the whole of my life in travelling abroad, if I could anywhere borrow another life to spend afterwards at home.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59577</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learn from you're mistakes, don't get bitten by the same dog twice coz you're the victim just the 1st time. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62894]]></link><description><![CDATA[Learn from you're mistakes, don't get bitten by the same dog twice coz you're the victim just the 1st time. after that, you're already a volunteer!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62894</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of calling shapes, and beck'ning shadows dire, And airy tongues that syllable men's names. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2782]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of calling shapes, and beck'ning shadows dire, And airy tongues that syllable men's names.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe that what women resent is not so much giving herself in pieces as giving herself purposelessly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17510]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe that what women resent is not so much giving herself in pieces as giving herself purposelessly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You must do the thing you think you cannot do. -Eleanor Roosevelt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14802]]></link><description><![CDATA[You must do the thing you think you cannot do. -Eleanor Roosevelt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14802</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thanks to words, we have been able to rise above the brutes, and thanks to words, we have sunk to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24046]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thanks to words, we have been able to rise above the brutes, and thanks to words, we have sunk to the level of the demons.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness is like a kiss.

It is surely life itself that makes against belief in most cases. It is the contradiction in real life between any image of God as good -- whether God is "above", "beneath", or "within" -- that makes men atheists. Yet how few books and how few sermons touch on this basic problem! Our theological libraries are crammed with books devoted to every aspect of textual and higher criticism of the Bible; but of genuine theological thinking about the things which drive religion from men's hearts, there is appallingly little to be found. The archaeology of Christian origins seems largely to have replaced genuine theology.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6700</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I would have backed up a foot, I'd have been out of her way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32335]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I would have backed up a foot, I'd have been out of her way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32335</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[extremely sensitive to variation and can result in different ratings in the same vehicle, such as when one has leather-covered ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28665]]></link><description><![CDATA[extremely sensitive to variation and can result in different ratings in the same vehicle, such as when one has leather-covered seats and the other has cloth-covered seats.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28665</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26574]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of a mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All decent people live beyond their incomes nowadays, and those who aren't respectable live beyond other people's.
