And if a man knows the law, people will find it out, tho he live in a pine shanty, and resort to him. And if a man can pipe or sing, so as to wrap the prisoned soul in an elysium; or can paint landscape, and convey into oils and ochers all the enchantments of spring or autumn; or can liberate or intoxicate all people who hear him with delicious songs and verses, 'tis certain that the secret can not be kept: the first witness tells it to a second, and men go by fives and tens and fifties to his door.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58143</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is a jest; and all things show it.

No time to stand beneath the boughs And stare as long as sheep or cows. No time to see, when woods we pass, Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass. No time to see, in broad daylight, Streams full of stars, like skies at night. No time to turn at Beauty's glance, And watch her feet, how they can dance. No time to wait till her mouth can Enrich that smile her eyes began. A poor life this if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Keep a cow, and the milk won't have to be watered but once. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16647]]></link><description><![CDATA[Keep a cow, and the milk won't have to be watered but once.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remorse is the echo of a lost virtue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53799]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remorse is the echo of a lost virtue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One rose says more than the dozen ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17454]]></link><description><![CDATA[One rose says more than the dozen]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Alike all ages: dames of ancient days Have led their children through the mirthful maze,  And the gay grandsire, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11033]]></link><description><![CDATA[Alike all ages: dames of ancient days Have led their children through the mirthful maze,  And the gay grandsire, skill'd in gestic lore,   Has frisk'd beneath the burden of threescore.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11033</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[American people have the ability to laugh at themselves.

It is because His sufferings, His death and cross, were the fulness of His victory over all the works of the devil. Not an evil in flesh and blood, not a misery of life, not a chain of death, not a power of hell and darkness, but were all baffled, broken, and overcome by the process of a suffering and dying Christ. Well, therefore, may the cross of Christ be the glory of Christians!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6975</guid></item></channel></rss>
