All the measures of the law should protect property and punish plunder.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47657</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who loves practice without theory is like the sailor who boards ship without a rudder and compass and never ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59104]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who loves practice without theory is like the sailor who boards ship without a rudder and compass and never knows where he may cast.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59104</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And always we had wars, and more wars, and still other wars — all over Europe, all over the world. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61142]]></link><description><![CDATA[And always we had wars, and more wars, and still other wars — all over Europe, all over the world.

No, it is not so; all-important as His work on earth was -- the only foundation of our hope and blessedness -- let us adore the revealed mystery that God gave us His Son, never to recall Him, as it were, and take Him away from us; He spared Him not and gave Him to us, allowing Him to become man, exalting Him as the Son of Man, enthroning Him because of his obedience unto death, and giving unto Him as the Son of Man all power in heaven and earth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After another moment's silence, she mumbled that I was peculiar, that that was probably why she loved me but that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25727]]></link><description><![CDATA[After another moment's silence, she mumbled that I was peculiar, that that was probably why she loved me but that one day I might disgust her for the very same reason.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25727</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think it's going to be very difficult for the judge to find penalties that could indeed be construed as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42054]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think it's going to be very difficult for the judge to find penalties that could indeed be construed as forward-looking.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42054</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Have you noticed that life, real honest to goodness life, with murders and catastrophes and fabulous inheritances, happens almost exclusively ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37518]]></link><description><![CDATA[Have you noticed that life, real honest to goodness life, with murders and catastrophes and fabulous inheritances, happens almost exclusively in newspapers?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yet, so far from laboring to know the forbidden tree of worldly pleasures and its various fruits, man gives himself ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38324]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yet, so far from laboring to know the forbidden tree of worldly pleasures and its various fruits, man gives himself up to a careless and thoughtless state of life, and yields to the lust of the flesh, not considering that this lust is really the forbidden tree.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Willingness opens the doors to knowledge, direction, and achievement.Be willing to know, be willing to do, be willing to create ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21477]]></link><description><![CDATA[Willingness opens the doors to knowledge, direction, and achievement.Be willing to know, be willing to do, be willing to create a positiveresult.
