The idea is laughable. The Devil, on the other hand, laughs with demonic mirth, is possessed of a sardonic wit, and his eyes hold a glint of wicked bemusement. The farthest God, in his popular image, ever strays from sobriety is a beneficent smile. Satan sniggers with fiendish scorn at God, who sits in his ivory tower emitting nary a chuckle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Alone let him constantly meditate in solitude on that which is salutary for his soul, for he who meditates in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63911]]></link><description><![CDATA[Alone let him constantly meditate in solitude on that which is salutary for his soul, for he who meditates in solitude attains supreme bliss.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63911</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In life, as in a football game, the principle to follow is: Hit the line hard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57746]]></link><description><![CDATA[In life, as in a football game, the principle to follow is: Hit the line hard.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The water, sanitation and security seem far better than those over the past few years. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28424]]></link><description><![CDATA[The water, sanitation and security seem far better than those over the past few years.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28424</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have, in fact, two kinds of morality side by side: one which we preach but do not practice, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20246]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have, in fact, two kinds of morality side by side: one which we preach but do not practice, and another which we practice but seldom preach.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Imagine the worst stomach pain you've ever had.

His master suspended a bell about his neck so that the Dog might give notice of his presence wherever he went. Thinking it a mark of distinction, the Dog grew proud of his bell and went tinkling it all over the marketplace. One day an old hound said to him: Why do you make such an exhibition of yourself? That bell that you carry is not, believe me, any order of merit, but on the contrary a mark of disgrace, a public notice to all men to avoid you as an ill mannered dog. Notoriety is often mistaken for fame.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I got kicked on the inside at the end of the game in Portland.

Mercy is not ordinarily held to consist in pronouncing judgment on another man's deserts, but in relieving his necessities; in giving aid to the poor, not in inquiring how good they are.  .. St. Ambrose    December 8, 1997  There is a manifest want of spiritual influence on the ministry of the present day. I feel it in my own case and I see it in that of others. I am afraid there is too much of a low, managing, contriving, maneuvering temper of mind among us. We are laying ourselves out more than is expedient to meet one man's taste and another man's prejudices. The ministry is a grand and holy affair, and it should find in us a simple habit of spirit and a holy but humble indifference to all consequences. A leading defect in Christian ministers is want of a devotional habit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Under all that we think, lives all we believe, like the ultimate veilof our spirits. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21289]]></link><description><![CDATA[Under all that we think, lives all we believe, like the ultimate veilof our spirits.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To err is human, but when the eraser wears out ahead of the pencil, you're overdoing it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53280]]></link><description><![CDATA[To err is human, but when the eraser wears out ahead of the pencil, you're overdoing it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53280</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People are spending to rebuild their lives, even if they don't have a job or have lost their home.
