"He sleeps perchance, or rideth to the chase, Like Baal, when his prophets holed that name From morn to noon on Carmel's smitten height." Nay, peace! I shall behold, before the night, The feet of brass, the robe more white than flame, The wounded hands, the weary human face.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8484</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whenever you have an efficient government you have a dictatorship. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27803]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whenever you have an efficient government you have a dictatorship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27803</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Opportunity comes like a snail, and once it has passed you it changes into a fleet rabbit and is gone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62909]]></link><description><![CDATA[Opportunity comes like a snail, and once it has passed you it changes into a fleet rabbit and is gone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He [Greenspan] is going to say we're not in a recession, but the risks are very, very high, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37045]]></link><description><![CDATA[He [Greenspan] is going to say we're not in a recession, but the risks are very, very high,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In everything the middle course is best; all things in excess bring trouble. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14787]]></link><description><![CDATA[In everything the middle course is best; all things in excess bring trouble.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14787</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The infant, on opening his eyes, ought to see his country, and to the hour of his death never lose ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25966]]></link><description><![CDATA[The infant, on opening his eyes, ought to see his country, and to the hour of his death never lose sight of it. [Fr., Un enfant en ouvrant ses yeux doit voir la patrie, et jusqu'a la mort ne voir qu'elle.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25966</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The central task of education is to implant a will and facility for learning; it should produce not learned but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52337]]></link><description><![CDATA[The central task of education is to implant a will and facility for learning; it should produce not learned but learning people.
