The day and the spirit of Christmas rearrange the world parade. As the world arranges it, usually there come first in importance -- leading the parade with a big blare of a band -- the Big Shots. Frequently they are also the Stuffed Shirts. That's the first of the parade. Then at the tail end, as of little importance, trudge the weary, the poor, the lame, the halt, and the blind. But in the Christmas spirit, the procession is turned around. Those at the tail end are put first in the arrangement of the Child of Christmas.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Revenge has no more quenching effect on emotions than salt water has on thirst. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54109]]></link><description><![CDATA[Revenge has no more quenching effect on emotions than salt water has on thirst.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54109</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Microsoft, by some accounts, the second most capitalized company on the planet, is the only corporate colossus in history whose ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10179]]></link><description><![CDATA[Microsoft, by some accounts, the second most capitalized company on the planet, is the only corporate colossus in history whose entire product line could be eliminated with a giant magnet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you make the sacrifice in marriage, you're sacrificing not to each other but to unity in a relationship. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60159]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you make the sacrifice in marriage, you're sacrificing not to each other but to unity in a relationship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're animals.

It may fill him with a self-righteousness which rejoices in its own superiority to those who have had no like experience. It may move a man to a Pharisaic self-isolation. There have in fact been not a few so-called conversions as a result of which a man has left the Church to belong to some smaller and holier body. The plain truth is that such a one should very seriously examine himself, if he finds what he regards as his Christian experience separating him from his fellow-men, or his fellow-Christians.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thus the castle of each feudal chieftain became a school of chivalry, into which any noble youth, whose parents were ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36598]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thus the castle of each feudal chieftain became a school of chivalry, into which any noble youth, whose parents were from poverty unable to educate him to the art of war, was readily received.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Amiens was taken by the Fox, and retaken by the Lion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49115]]></link><description><![CDATA[Amiens was taken by the Fox, and retaken by the Lion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a man is pushed, tormented, defeated, he has a chance to learn something ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24509]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a man is pushed, tormented, defeated, he has a chance to learn something]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe that being successful means having a balance of success stories across the many areas of your life.
