You may be translating oracles, but soon you learn the risk and folly of posing as an oracle yourself. If your readers are dissatisfied at any point, they may be sure that the translator is still more dissatisfied, if not there, then elsewhere -- all the more so, because, in the nature of the case, he has always to appear dogmatic in print.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be careful what you set your heart upon - for it will surely be yours. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66144]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be careful what you set your heart upon - for it will surely be yours.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66144</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The things that have been and shall be no more, The things that are, and that hereafter shall be,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61982]]></link><description><![CDATA[The things that have been and shall be no more, The things that are, and that hereafter shall be,  The things that might have been, and yet were not,   The fading twilight of joys departed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61982</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We bank on getting those big runs.
