Others stay awhile, make footprints on our hearts and we are never, ever the same. •Unknown  Make new friends but keep the old ones; one is silver and the other's gold. •Anonymous   My friend, why have you drifted so far away? All motion is relative, maybe it is you who have moved away by standing still. •Anonymous   Give me one friend, just one, who meets the needs of all my varying moods.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16900</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But a few times I was getting in there, getting to the hole. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41873]]></link><description><![CDATA[But a few times I was getting in there, getting to the hole.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One man's remorse is another man's reminiscence ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53787]]></link><description><![CDATA[One man's remorse is another man's reminiscence]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53787</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Surely the best way to meet the enemy is head on in the field and not wait till they plunder ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9223]]></link><description><![CDATA[Surely the best way to meet the enemy is head on in the field and not wait till they plunder our very homes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9223</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is such a thing as a nation being so right that it it does not need to convince others ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43729]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is such a thing as a nation being so right that it it does not need to convince others by force that it is right]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43729</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never be ashamed to write a melody that people remember. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63811]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never be ashamed to write a melody that people remember.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63811</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Excellence is not a singular act, but a habit.

It is enormously stimulating. It is small wonder that people who have been demanding all their lives to be heard so often fall speechless when confronted with one who gravely agrees to lend an ear.
