Let us live while we live; let us be alive and doing; let us act on what we have, since we have not what we wish. Let us believe what we do not see and know. Let us forestall knowledge by faith. Let us maintain before we have demonstrated. This seeming paradox is the secret of happiness. Why should we be unwilling to go by faith? We do all things in this world by faith in the word of others. By faith only do we know our position in the world, our circumstances, our rights and privileges, our fortunes, our parents, our brothers and sisters, our age, our mortality. Why should Religion be an exception? Why should we be unwilling to use for heavenly objects what we daily use for earthly?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He beat the bushes without taking the birds. [Fr., [Il] battoit les buissons sans predre les ozillons.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14930]]></link><description><![CDATA[He beat the bushes without taking the birds. [Fr., [Il] battoit les buissons sans predre les ozillons.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14930</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The idea was to show that if his privacy wasn't safe, none of ours were, and it clearly proved the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38658]]></link><description><![CDATA[The idea was to show that if his privacy wasn't safe, none of ours were, and it clearly proved the point.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When clouds are seen wise men put on their cloaks; When great leaves fall then winter is at hand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51513]]></link><description><![CDATA[When clouds are seen wise men put on their cloaks; When great leaves fall then winter is at hand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The thing that takes up the least amount of time and causes the most amount of trouble is sex. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28064]]></link><description><![CDATA[The thing that takes up the least amount of time and causes the most amount of trouble is sex.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28064</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even Echo speaks not on these radiant moors.   - Barry Cornwall (pseudonym of Bryan Waller Procter), ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13292]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even Echo speaks not on these radiant moors.   - Barry Cornwall (pseudonym of Bryan Waller Procter),]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13292</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be happy with a man you have to understand him a lot and love him less , but...to be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2227]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be happy with a man you have to understand him a lot and love him less , but...to be happy with a woman you must love her a lot and never ever try to understand her !.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2227</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no slavery but ignorance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47476]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no slavery but ignorance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47476</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that is his owne Counsellor knowes nothing sure but what hee hath laid out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49365]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that is his owne Counsellor knowes nothing sure but what hee hath laid out.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ordinary arts we practice every day at home are of more importance to the soul than their simplicity might ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56355]]></link><description><![CDATA[The ordinary arts we practice every day at home are of more importance to the soul than their simplicity might suggest. -Thomas More.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56355</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think there is something, more important than believing: Action!
