Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths, Our bruised arms hung up for monuments, Our stern alarums changed to merry meetings, Our dreadful marches to delightful measures. Grim-visaged war hath smoothed his wrinkled front; And now, instead of mounting barbed steeds To fright the souls of fearful adversaries, He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber To the lascivious pleasing of a lute. But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks, Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass; I, that am rudely stamped, and want love's majesty To strut before a wanton ambling nymph; I, that am curtailed of this fair proportion, Cheated of feature by dissembling nature, Deformed, unfinished, sent before my time Into this breathing world, scarce half made up, And that so lamely and unfashionable That dogs bark at me as I halt by them,— Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace, Have no delight to pass away the time, Unless to spy my shadow in the sun. -King Richard III. Act i. Sc. 1.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your sacred space is where you can find yourself again and again. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65297]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your sacred space is where you can find yourself again and again.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65297</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Her years Were ripe, they might make six-and-twenty springs;  But there are forms which Time to touch forbears.  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62564]]></link><description><![CDATA[Her years Were ripe, they might make six-and-twenty springs;  But there are forms which Time to touch forbears.   And turns aside his scythe to vulgar things.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm going to get in there.

For where unification has been able to establish unity of ideas it has usually ended in uniformity, paralysing the growth of new ideas. And where the unification has merely brought about an artificial or imposed unity, its irksomeness has led through discord to disruption.Vitality springs from diversity- which makes for real progress so long as there is mutual toleration, based on the recognition that worse may come from an attempt to suppress differences than from acceptance of them. For this reason, the kind of peace that makes progress possible is best assured by the mutual checks created by a balance of forces- alike in the sphere of internal politics and of international relations.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is much better to have your gold in the hand than in the heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9403]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is much better to have your gold in the hand than in the heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Self-defense is the clearest of all laws, and for this reason: lawyers didn't make it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24365]]></link><description><![CDATA[Self-defense is the clearest of all laws, and for this reason: lawyers didn't make it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We do not know who planted the explosive device and cannot speculate at this time, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34022]]></link><description><![CDATA[We do not know who planted the explosive device and cannot speculate at this time,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34022</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wynken, Blynken and Nod one night Sailed off in a wooden shoe--  Sailed on a river of crystal light ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5908]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wynken, Blynken and Nod one night Sailed off in a wooden shoe--  Sailed on a river of crystal light   Into a sea of dew.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5908</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A moderate addiction to money may not always be hurtful; but when taken in excess it is nearly always bad ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/588]]></link><description><![CDATA[A moderate addiction to money may not always be hurtful; but when taken in excess it is nearly always bad for the health.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our greatest good, and what we least can spare, Is hope: the last of all our evils, fear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19758]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our greatest good, and what we least can spare, Is hope: the last of all our evils, fear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19758</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Influencing people is dangerous.
