It’s not that you refer to them constantly. In fact, for people who do not live in the past, you almost never say, Do you remember that night we...? But you don’t have to. That is the best of all. You know that the other person does remember. Thus, the past is part of the present as long as the other person lives. It is better than any scrapbook, because you are both living scrapbooks.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26908</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As like a church and an ale-house, God and the devell, they manie times dwell neere to ether. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8682]]></link><description><![CDATA[As like a church and an ale-house, God and the devell, they manie times dwell neere to ether.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8682</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The universe is made of stories, not atoms. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60201]]></link><description><![CDATA[The universe is made of stories, not atoms.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With a gentleman I am always a gentleman and a half, and with a fraud I try to be a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3993]]></link><description><![CDATA[With a gentleman I am always a gentleman and a half, and with a fraud I try to be a fraud and a half.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3993</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love's like the measles, all the worse when it comes late. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25663]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love's like the measles, all the worse when it comes late.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25663</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They have literally stuck their hands into a hornets' nest.
