You can't have the argument both ways. If the prisoner is happy, why lock him in? If he is not, why pretend that he is?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Literature is the orchestration of platitudes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25323]]></link><description><![CDATA[Literature is the orchestration of platitudes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Holy Scriptures are our letters from home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8454]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Holy Scriptures are our letters from home.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are growing serious, and, let me tell you, that's the very next step to being dull. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58063]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are growing serious, and, let me tell you, that's the very next step to being dull.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A life of honour and of worth Has no eternity on earth,--  'Tis but a name. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50570]]></link><description><![CDATA[A life of honour and of worth Has no eternity on earth,--  'Tis but a name.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Something attempted, something done Has earned a night's repose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50578]]></link><description><![CDATA[Something attempted, something done Has earned a night's repose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The large white owl that with eye is blind, That hath sate for years in the old tree hollow,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45334]]></link><description><![CDATA[The large white owl that with eye is blind, That hath sate for years in the old tree hollow,  Is carried away in a gust of wind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45334</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The main point of the talks will be economic relations, especially cooperation in the energy sector. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29947]]></link><description><![CDATA[The main point of the talks will be economic relations, especially cooperation in the energy sector.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29947</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many plays-certainly mine-are like blank checks.

Your faith is something everyone knows, for everyone knows that Christ was [crucified], and that everywhere men pray to Him. The whole world knows that His glory has not been spread by force and weapons, but by poor fishermen. 0 wise man, do you think the poor fishermen were not clever enough for this? Where they worked, there they made hearts better; where they could not work, there men remained bad; and therefore was the faith true and from God. The signs which the Lord had promised followed their teaching: in His name they drove out the devil; they spoke in new tongues; if they drank any deadly drink, they received therefrom no harm. Even if these wonders had not occurred, there would have been the wonder of wonders, that poor fishermen without any miracle could accomplish so great a work as the faith. It came from God, and so is Christ true, and Christ is thy God, who is in heaven and awaits thee.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If humanity does not opt for integrity we are through completely.
