And those who have grasped the vanity of such a pretension have cast you down into the other abyss by making you believe that your nature was like that of the beasts of the field, and have led you to seek your good in lust, which is the lot of animals.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fear of life is the favorite disease of the twentieth century. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12508]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fear of life is the favorite disease of the twentieth century.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12508</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a time for departure even when there's no certain place to go. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59273]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a time for departure even when there's no certain place to go.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was more interested in having a discussion on Proust than on Welles, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36928]]></link><description><![CDATA[He was more interested in having a discussion on Proust than on Welles,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36928</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Extravagance is the luxury of the poor; penury is the luxury of the rich. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14777]]></link><description><![CDATA[Extravagance is the luxury of the poor; penury is the luxury of the rich.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14777</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the time of year people start shopping for space heaters, but business hasn't been above normal, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30281]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the time of year people start shopping for space heaters, but business hasn't been above normal,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think the silhouette of the kimono costume will become engraved in people's minds.
