In the same way, though I do not believe (I wish I did) that my desire for Paradise proves that I shall enjoy it, I think it a pretty good indication that such a thing exists and that some men will. A man may love a women and not win her; but it would be very odd if the phenomenon called "falling in love" occurred in a sexless world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are not the sum of our possessions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47781]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are not the sum of our possessions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47781</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis hard to be wretched, but worse to be knowne so. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49988]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis hard to be wretched, but worse to be knowne so.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49988</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are a lot of options with stripes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34621]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are a lot of options with stripes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world is divided into men who have wit and no religion and men who have religion and no wit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29756]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world is divided into men who have wit and no religion and men who have religion and no wit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What infinite heart's-ease Must kings neglect that private men enjoy!  And what have kings that privates have not too, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5445]]></link><description><![CDATA[What infinite heart's-ease Must kings neglect that private men enjoy!  And what have kings that privates have not too,   Save ceremony, save general ceremony?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5445</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We think that there's at least an interesting discussion to have in the industry as to whether or not there ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30652]]></link><description><![CDATA[We think that there's at least an interesting discussion to have in the industry as to whether or not there is a need to have this higher operating authority.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's never committed any acts in the United States. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42216]]></link><description><![CDATA[He's never committed any acts in the United States.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Instead of saying that man is the creature of circumstance, it would be nearer the mark to say that man ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5667]]></link><description><![CDATA[Instead of saying that man is the creature of circumstance, it would be nearer the mark to say that man is the architect of circumstance.

After some time the Cottager, afraid that the Snake would bite him also, endeavored to make peace, and placed some bread and salt in the hole. The Snake, slightly hissing, said: There can henceforth be no peace between us; for whenever I see you I shall remember the loss of my tail, and whenever you see me you will be thinking of the death of your son. No one truly forgets injuries in the presence of him who caused the injury.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My goal for this season was to go out on the mound and put my team in position to win ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30842]]></link><description><![CDATA[My goal for this season was to go out on the mound and put my team in position to win every time I step out there.
