They do not find it among Christians, because these Christians are talking where they should be listening. But he who can no longer listen to his brother will soon be no longer listening to God, either; he will be doing nothing but prattle in the presence of God, too. This is the beginning of the death of the spiritual life, and in the end there will be nothing left but spiritual chatter and clerical condescension arrayed in pious words ... never really speaking to others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do not want a plain box, I want a sarcophagusWith tigery stripes, and a face on itRound as the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15237]]></link><description><![CDATA[I do not want a plain box, I want a sarcophagusWith tigery stripes, and a face on itRound as the moon, to stare up.I want to be looking at them when they comePicking among the dumb minerals, the roots.I see them already-the pale, star-distance faces.Now they are nothing, they are not even babies.I imagine them without fathers or mothers, like the first gods.They will wonder if I was important.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15237</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best prophet is common sense, our native wit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1103]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best prophet is common sense, our native wit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward in the same direction. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25862]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward in the same direction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the kids go back to school, you start seeing a lot of backpacks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40697]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the kids go back to school, you start seeing a lot of backpacks.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lawn as white as driven snow, Cyprus black as e'er was crow,  Gloves as sweet as damask roses,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56720]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lawn as white as driven snow, Cyprus black as e'er was crow,  Gloves as sweet as damask roses,   Masks for faces and for noses,    Bugle bracelet, necklace amber,     Perfume for a lady's chamber,      Golden quoifs and stomachers       For my lads to give their dears,        Pins and poking-sticks of steel,         What maids lack from head to heel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I ever woke up with a dead hooker in my hotel room, Matt would be the first person I'd ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29981]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I ever woke up with a dead hooker in my hotel room, Matt would be the first person I'd call.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We grant no dukedoms to the few, We hold like rights and shall;  Equal on Sunday in the pew, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16679]]></link><description><![CDATA[We grant no dukedoms to the few, We hold like rights and shall;  Equal on Sunday in the pew,   On Monday in the mall.    For what avail the plough or sail,     Or land, or life, if freedom fail?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They love him, gentlemen, and they respect him, not only for himself, but for his character, for his integrity and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13843]]></link><description><![CDATA[They love him, gentlemen, and they respect him, not only for himself, but for his character, for his integrity and judgment and iron will; but they love him most for the enemies he has made.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One who journeying Along a way he knows not, having crossed  A place of drear extent, before him sees ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59620]]></link><description><![CDATA[One who journeying Along a way he knows not, having crossed  A place of drear extent, before him sees   A river rushing swiftly toward the deep,    And all its tossing current white with foam,     And stops and turns, and measures back his way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't smother each other.

This obsession with roots will be felt especially keenly by foundlings, who often have no way of exploring their family histories.] I notice that genealogical sites now have warnings on them saying people should be ready for little surprises, ...

This is rather strange because it was pretty taken for granted a few generations ago that families had all kinds of little moments where things had gone not according to the book. It was just one of those things. You tried to accommodate it. There was no social welfare. You just had to sort it out within villages, the families, the parish. Children went to the workhouse, but people knew about it. Nowadays, there's a kind of surprise that these cases were so commonplace.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Adrian, the Emperor, exclaimed incessantly, when dying, "That the crowd of physicians had killed him." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26701]]></link><description><![CDATA[Adrian, the Emperor, exclaimed incessantly, when dying, "That the crowd of physicians had killed him."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That sounds like we're doing short-track or something.
