She had all sorts of wonderful little idiosyncrasies. She used to fart in her sleep. I thought I’d share that with you. One night it was so loud it woke the dog up. She woke up and went ‘ah was that you?’ And I didn’t have the heart to tell her. Oh!Will: She woke herself up?Sean: Ah...! But Will, she’s been dead for 2 years, and that's the shit I remember: wonderful stuff you know? Little things like that. Those are the things I miss the most. The little idiosyncrasies that only I know about: that's what made her my wife. Oh she had the goods on me too, she knew all my little peccadilloes. People call these things imperfections, but there not. Ah, that's the good stuff.~ Robin Williams as Sean Maguire, Matt Damon as Will Hunting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe that the world will wait long time for a progress and imagination equal to Tesla's. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34329]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe that the world will wait long time for a progress and imagination equal to Tesla's.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34329</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A newspaper should be the maximum of information, and the minimum of comment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44490]]></link><description><![CDATA[A newspaper should be the maximum of information, and the minimum of comment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It may be well to wait a century for a reader, as God has waited six thousand years for an ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53018]]></link><description><![CDATA[It may be well to wait a century for a reader, as God has waited six thousand years for an observer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53018</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't think we need this stuff, but we work hard during the school year, so we reward ourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35556]]></link><description><![CDATA[We don't think we need this stuff, but we work hard during the school year, so we reward ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35556</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How many have been frozen gored starved or blown apart by Hitler, LBJ, Genghis Khan, Churchill, or Bonaparte? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45987]]></link><description><![CDATA[How many have been frozen gored starved or blown apart by Hitler, LBJ, Genghis Khan, Churchill, or Bonaparte?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45987</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a danger inherent in adopting rules that sound good but have no statistical basis or significance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33126]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's a danger inherent in adopting rules that sound good but have no statistical basis or significance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33126</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say: 'Enough is enough. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64549]]></link><description><![CDATA[There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say: 'Enough is enough.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man ever yet became great by imitation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20578]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man ever yet became great by imitation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Disease is the retribution of outraged Nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12507]]></link><description><![CDATA[Disease is the retribution of outraged Nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rank is but the guinea's stamp, The man's the gowd for a' that. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26263]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rank is but the guinea's stamp, The man's the gowd for a' that.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It takes most men five years to recover from a college education, and to learn that poetry is as vital ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30715]]></link><description><![CDATA[It takes most men five years to recover from a college education, and to learn that poetry is as vital to thinking as knowledge.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As adults, we must ask more of our children than they know how to ask of themselves.

This agreement being made, the Physician, time after time, applied his salve to her eyes, and on every visit took something away, stealing all her property little by little. And when he had got all she had, he healed her and demanded the promised payment. The Old Woman, when she recovered her sight and saw none of her goods in her house, would give him nothing. The Physician insisted on his claim, and. as she still refused, summoned her before the Judge. The Old Woman, standing up in the Court, argued: This man here speaks the truth in what he says; for I did promise to give him a sum of money if I should recover my sight: but if I continued blind, I was to give him nothing. Now he declares that I am healed. I on the contrary affirm that I am still blind; for when I lost the use of my eyes, I saw in my house various chattels and valuable goods: but now, though he swears I am cured of my blindness, I am not able to see a single thing in it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I buy women shoes and they use them to walk away from me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22386]]></link><description><![CDATA[I buy women shoes and they use them to walk away from me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22386</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I prefer drawing to talking.
