The former are those which live from hunting, fishing, or merely gleaning. By their economic activities they do not increase, but rather decrease, the amount of wealth in the world. The second kind of societies, producing societies, live by agricultural and pastoral activities. By these activities they seek to increase the amount of wealth in the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Though men determine, the gods doo dispose: and oft times many things fall out betweene the cup and the lip. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17750]]></link><description><![CDATA[Though men determine, the gods doo dispose: and oft times many things fall out betweene the cup and the lip.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17750</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nature herself was proud of his designs, And joyed to wear the dressing of his lines!  Which were so ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55327]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nature herself was proud of his designs, And joyed to wear the dressing of his lines!  Which were so richly spun, and woven so fit,   As since, she will vouchsafe no other wit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55327</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've been a woman for a little over 50 years and have gotten over my initial astonishment.

He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly as necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Can anyone picture God telling, taking, or enjoying a good joke?

The idea is laughable. The Devil, on the other hand, laughs with demonic mirth, is possessed of a sardonic wit, and his eyes hold a glint of wicked bemusement. The farthest God, in his popular image, ever strays from sobriety is a beneficent smile. Satan sniggers with fiendish scorn at God, who sits in his ivory tower emitting nary a chuckle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all others because you were born in it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45753]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all others because you were born in it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45753</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fair tresses man's imperial race ensnare, And beauty draws us with a single hair. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50923]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fair tresses man's imperial race ensnare, And beauty draws us with a single hair.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50923</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I was at fault, I could see paying.
