Their feet, however, became so smeared with the honey that they could not use their wings, nor release themselves, and were suffocated. Just as they were expiring, they exclaimed, O foolish creatures that we are, for the sake of a little pleasure we have destroyed ourselves. Pleasure bought with pains, hurts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I talked to him on the phone yesterday.

That is the vainest of vain dreams. Rather is this the supreme revelation of a new way of living life; and only those who -- blunderingly, it may be, yet honestly -- seek to adopt and imitate it can be counted really Christian folk.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7718</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cholesterol in and of itself isn't harmful; it's an integral part of the normal function of our body, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38390]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cholesterol in and of itself isn't harmful; it's an integral part of the normal function of our body,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38390</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If at great things thou would'st arrive, Get riches first, get wealth, and treasure heap,  Not difficult, if thou ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2336]]></link><description><![CDATA[If at great things thou would'st arrive, Get riches first, get wealth, and treasure heap,  Not difficult, if thou hearken to me;   Riches are mine, fortune is in my hand,    They whom I favor thrive in wealth amain,     While virtue, valor, wisdom, sit in want.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sacrificing your happiness for the happiness of the one you love, is by far, the truest type of love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54597]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sacrificing your happiness for the happiness of the one you love, is by far, the truest type of love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62567]]></link><description><![CDATA[As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth.
