Half of the secular unrest and dismal, profane sadness of modern society comes from the vain idea that every man is bound to be a critic of life, and to let no day pass without finding some fault with the general order of things, or projecting some plan for its general improvement. And the other half comes from the greedy notion that a man's life does consist, after all, in the abundance of things that he possesseth, and that it is, somehow or other, more respectable and pious to be always at work trying to make a larger living, than it is to lie on your back in the green pastures and beside the still waters, and thank God that you are alive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is called a sincere work is one that is endowed with enough strength to give reality to an illusion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63829]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is called a sincere work is one that is endowed with enough strength to give reality to an illusion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63829</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now the good gods forbid That our renowned Rome, whose gratitude  Towards her deserved children is enrolled   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18164]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now the good gods forbid That our renowned Rome, whose gratitude  Towards her deserved children is enrolled   In Jove's own book, like an unnatural dam    Should now eat up her own!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18164</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Brave men were living before Agamemnon. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4843]]></link><description><![CDATA[Brave men were living before Agamemnon.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A litle wind kindles; much puts out the fire. [A little wind kindles; much puts out the fire.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49044]]></link><description><![CDATA[A litle wind kindles; much puts out the fire. [A little wind kindles; much puts out the fire.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49044</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our winners make you laugh ? but they also make you think, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41396]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our winners make you laugh ? but they also make you think,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41396</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He treats us like men.
