It is a hard thing to break through a habit, and a yet harder thing to go contrary to our own will. Yet, if thou overcome not slight and easy obstacles, how wilt thou overcome greater ones? Withstand thy will at the beginning, and unlearn an evil habit, lest it lead thee little by little into worse difficulties. Oh, if thou knewest what peace to thyself thy holy life should bring, ... and what joy to others, methinketh thou wouldst be more zealous for spiritual profit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Plato divinely calls pleasure the bait of evil, inasmuch as men are caught by it as fish by a hook. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46698]]></link><description><![CDATA[Plato divinely calls pleasure the bait of evil, inasmuch as men are caught by it as fish by a hook. [Lat., Divine Plato escam malorum appeliat voluptatem, quod ea videlicet homines capiantur, ut pisces hamo.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46698</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God's finger touched him, and he slept. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11405]]></link><description><![CDATA[God's finger touched him, and he slept.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43524]]></link><description><![CDATA[Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Today's vote deals a severe blow to the ambitions of the terrorists and sends a clear message to the world ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28970]]></link><description><![CDATA[Today's vote deals a severe blow to the ambitions of the terrorists and sends a clear message to the world that the people of Iraq will decide the future of their country through peaceful elections, not violent insurgency.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28970</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is good for the Internet, because it means more and more companies will have confidence that their content can ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28798]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is good for the Internet, because it means more and more companies will have confidence that their content can be securely streamed to end-users.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more connections that can be made in the brain, the more integrated the experience is within memory. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14541]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more connections that can be made in the brain, the more integrated the experience is within memory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a man has no reason to trust himself, he trusts in luck. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59768]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a man has no reason to trust himself, he trusts in luck.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This article reaffirms the fact that there is a shortage of drilling rigs especially in Colorado and we are in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33006]]></link><description><![CDATA[This article reaffirms the fact that there is a shortage of drilling rigs especially in Colorado and we are in a position to help satisfy that demand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33006</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a lot of people's jobs and lives and economic well-being depending on moving water through the delta in an ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31904]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's a lot of people's jobs and lives and economic well-being depending on moving water through the delta in an ecologically sound manner.
