If therefore we depart without profit, our zeal in frequenting the church will prove our condemnation. That so great a judgment comes not upon you, when ye go hence ponder the things ye have heard, and exercise yourselves in confirming our instruction -- friend with friend, fathers with their children, masters with their slaves -- so that, when ye return hither and hear from us the same counsels, ye may not be ashamed, but rejoice and be glad in the conviction that ye have put into practice the greater part of our exhortation. Not only must we meditate upon these things here -- for this short exhortation sufficeth not to eradicate the evil -- but at home let the husband be reminded of them by the wife, and the wife by the husband, and let an emulation obtain in families to the fulfilment of the divine law.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6275</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Advertising isn't a science.

One of them climbed up quickly into a tree and concealed himself in the branches. The other, seeing that he must be attacked, fell flat on the ground, and when the Bear came up and felt him with his snout, and smelt him all over, he held his breath, and feigned the appearance of death as much as he could. The Bear soon left him, for it is said he will not touch a dead body. When he was quite gone, the other Traveler descended from the tree, and jocularly inquired of his friend what it was the Bear had whispered in his ear. He gave me this advice, his companion replied. Never travel with a friend who deserts you at the approach of danger. Misfortune tests the sincerity of friends.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Impossible' is not a scientific term. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20655]]></link><description><![CDATA['Impossible' is not a scientific term.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20655</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good man, through obscurest aspirations Has still an instinct of the one true way.  [Ger., Ein guter Mensch, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17859]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good man, through obscurest aspirations Has still an instinct of the one true way.  [Ger., Ein guter Mensch, in seinem dunkeln Drange,   Ist sich des rechten Weges sohl bewusst.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17859</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm just disappointed in the whole match. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32185]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm just disappointed in the whole match.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Harmony is one phase of the law whose spiritual expression is love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26850]]></link><description><![CDATA[Harmony is one phase of the law whose spiritual expression is love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you do something, you should burn yourself up completely, like a good bonfire, leaving no trace of yourself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13656]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you do something, you should burn yourself up completely, like a good bonfire, leaving no trace of yourself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13656</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A right without an attendant responsibility is as unreal as a sheet of paper which has only one side. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47248]]></link><description><![CDATA[A right without an attendant responsibility is as unreal as a sheet of paper which has only one side.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He considers the theatrical version of Fanny and Alexander an amputated version of what his original film was, and he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30228]]></link><description><![CDATA[He considers the theatrical version of Fanny and Alexander an amputated version of what his original film was, and he doesn't really like the shorter film.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are invited to drink at any man's house more than you think is wholesome, you may say "you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12997]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are invited to drink at any man's house more than you think is wholesome, you may say "you wish you could, but so little makes you both drunk and sick; that you should only be bad company by doing so."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gravity is a contributing factor in nearly 73 percent of all accidents involving falling objects. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54787]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gravity is a contributing factor in nearly 73 percent of all accidents involving falling objects.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54787</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You two are book-men. -Love's Labour 's Lost.

Evelyn Underhill November 30, 1996 Andrew the Apostle  With his continual doctrine [Bishop Hooper] adjoined due and discreet correction, not so much severe to any as to them which for abundance of riches and wealthy state thought they might do what they listed. And doubtless he spared no kind of people, but was indifferent to all men, as well rich as poor, to the great shame of no small number of men nowadays. Whereas many we see so addicted to the pleasing of great and rich men, that in the meantime they have no regard to the meaner sort of poor people, whom Christ hath bought as dearly as the other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Existence is a strange bargain.
