Let us live while we live; let us be alive and doing; let us act on what we have, since we have not what we wish. Let us believe what we do not see and know. Let us forestall knowledge by faith. Let us maintain before we have demonstrated. This seeming paradox is the secret of happiness. Why should we be unwilling to go by faith? We do all things in this world by faith in the word of others. By faith only do we know our position in the world, our circumstances, our rights and privileges, our fortunes, our parents, our brothers and sisters, our age, our mortality. Why should Religion be an exception? Why should we be unwilling to use for heavenly objects what we daily use for earthly?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The trouble with this country is that there are too many politicians who believe, with a conviction based on experience, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35110]]></link><description><![CDATA[The trouble with this country is that there are too many politicians who believe, with a conviction based on experience, that you can fool all of the people all of the time]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35110</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Understanding is curing ignorance and curing ignorance is abolishing fear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60056]]></link><description><![CDATA[Understanding is curing ignorance and curing ignorance is abolishing fear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60056</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we could have a little patience, we should escape much mortification; time takes away as much as it gives. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45742]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we could have a little patience, we should escape much mortification; time takes away as much as it gives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He cannot be vertuous that is not rigorous. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49311]]></link><description><![CDATA[He cannot be vertuous that is not rigorous.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our faith and our friendships are not shattered by one big act, but by many small neglects. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6660]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our faith and our friendships are not shattered by one big act, but by many small neglects.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6660</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This budget is like an Enron budget -- smoke the numbers, cook the books, hide the truth and hope no ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12536]]></link><description><![CDATA[This budget is like an Enron budget -- smoke the numbers, cook the books, hide the truth and hope no one finds out.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At every close she made, th' attending throng Replied, and bore the burden of the song:  So just, so ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56450]]></link><description><![CDATA[At every close she made, th' attending throng Replied, and bore the burden of the song:  So just, so small, yet in so sweet a note,   It seemed the music melted in the throat.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even with all my wrinkles!
