When I joined the army, even before the turn of the century, it was the fulfillment of all my boyish hopes and dreams. The world has turned over many times since I took the oath on the plain at West Point, and the hopes and dreams have long since vanished, but I still remember the refrain of one of the most barracks ballads of that day which proclaimed most proudly that old soldiers never die; they just fade away.  And like the old soldier of that ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54064</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The actual fact is that in this day Opportunity not only knocks at your door but is playing an anvil ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45076]]></link><description><![CDATA[The actual fact is that in this day Opportunity not only knocks at your door but is playing an anvil chorus on every man's door, and then lays for the owner around the corner with a club. The world is in sore need of men who can do things. Indeed, cases can easily be recalled by every one where Opportunity actually smashed in the door and collared her candidate and dragged him forth to success. These cases are exceptional, usually you have to meet Opportunity half-way. But the only place where you can get away from Opportunity is to lie down and die. Opportunity does not trouble dead men, or dead ones who flatter themselves that they are alive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45076</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But even the Christian, for all this satisfying and hopeful conviction, does not know the meaning of the mystery of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7952]]></link><description><![CDATA[But even the Christian, for all this satisfying and hopeful conviction, does not know the meaning of the mystery of life, and if he is wise he does not pretend to. He has enough light to light him on his way, but there are a great many gaps in his knowledge. When he says, "One day we shall understand", he is by no means always uttering a pious platitude. Quite frequently he is voicing a solid conviction, a genuine facet of hope. At present his vision is severely limited, and that is probably just as well, if his sanity is to be preserved. But when he is free of the limitations of temporal life, he has every hope of being able to know as surely as he is at present known.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7952</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President; I'm beginning to believe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48156]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President; I'm beginning to believe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Advice is like snow -- the softer it falls, the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper it sinks into ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/793]]></link><description><![CDATA[Advice is like snow -- the softer it falls, the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper it sinks into the mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/793</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As men, we are all equal in the presence of death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11264]]></link><description><![CDATA[As men, we are all equal in the presence of death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11264</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marriage is a mistake every man should make. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26438]]></link><description><![CDATA[Marriage is a mistake every man should make.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Anskar, Archbishop of Hamburg, Missionary to Denmark and Sweden, 865   We must be willing to accept ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8030]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Anskar, Archbishop of Hamburg, Missionary to Denmark and Sweden, 865   We must be willing to accept the bitter truth that, in the end, we may have to become a burden to those who love us. But it is necessary that we face this also. The full acceptance of our abjection and uselessness is the virtue that can make us and others rich in the grace of God. It takes heroic charity and humility to let others sustain us when we are absolutely incapable of sustaining ourselves. We cannot suffer well unless we see Christ everywhere, both in suffering and in the charity of those who come to the aid of our affliction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is the furthest from danger, who is on his guard even when in safety. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51603]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is the furthest from danger, who is on his guard even when in safety.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hearts of oak are our ships, Gallant tars are our men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44019]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hearts of oak are our ships, Gallant tars are our men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44019</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Covetousnesse breaks the bag. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49186]]></link><description><![CDATA[Covetousnesse breaks the bag.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I began wearing hats as a young lawyer because it helped me to establish my professional identity.
