One of them was young, and the other well advanced in years. The elder woman, ashamed to be courted by a man younger than herself, made a point, whenever her admirer visited her, to pull out some portion of his black hairs. The younger, on the contrary, not wishing to become the wife of an old man, was equally zealous in removing every gray hair she could find. Thus it came to pass that between them both he very soon found that he had not a hair left on his head. Those who seek to please everybody please nobody.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For me being depressed means you can spend all day in bed, and still not get a good night’s rest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11927]]></link><description><![CDATA[For me being depressed means you can spend all day in bed, and still not get a good night’s rest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11927</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Having a positive mental attitude is asking how something can be done rather than saying it can't be done. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3436]]></link><description><![CDATA[Having a positive mental attitude is asking how something can be done rather than saying it can't be done.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Soldiers, forty centuries are looking down upon you from these pyramids. [Fr., Soldats, du haut ces Pyramide quarante siecles vous ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43049]]></link><description><![CDATA[Soldiers, forty centuries are looking down upon you from these pyramids. [Fr., Soldats, du haut ces Pyramide quarante siecles vous contemplent.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43049</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each man has his fancy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50824]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each man has his fancy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50824</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you would be wealthy, think of saving as well as getting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48970]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you would be wealthy, think of saving as well as getting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48970</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not that the ground motions in 1906 were significantly larger than those in 1989ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â€Âit's that the area experiencing intense ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30385]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's not that the ground motions in 1906 were significantly larger than those in 1989ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â€Âit's that the area experiencing intense shaking was much, much greater.

Does anyone today remember how the emperor Constantine made Christianity the official religion? It is said that he had a vision -- saw a cross in the sky with the inscription, "In this sign shalt thou conquer." He accepted the new faith promptly, because he thought it would defeat his enemies for him. That is man's Christianity, a means to earthly triumph. And in our present crisis we are appealing to it to defeat the Russians for us. We hear of the life-and-death struggle between Christianity and Communism, the necessity of "keeping God alive as a social force" -- as if our Lord could not survive a Soviet victory! It is a poor sort of faith that imagines Christ defeated by anything men can do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He quits his place well, that leaves his friend there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49322]]></link><description><![CDATA[He quits his place well, that leaves his friend there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Mary, Martha & Lazarus, Companions of Our Lord  Ideological notions are strongest amongst people who have lost ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6564]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Mary, Martha & Lazarus, Companions of Our Lord  Ideological notions are strongest amongst people who have lost their traditional religious faith, and they provide a kind of pseudo-religion to take its place. Ideology may well be defined as religion-substitute. The fact that religious faith expresses itself in the particular ideological forms current in any given period is no reason why we should confuse religion with ideology; and, even though it requires a penetrating and candid investigation to distinguish between the genuinely religious and the merely ideological elements in the outlook of a particular period or individual, this does not mean that religion itself is an aspect of ideology. The core of religious belief is not ideological, whatever may be said of the soft pulp in which it is wrapped up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee lookes not well to himselfe that lookes not ever. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49432]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee lookes not well to himselfe that lookes not ever.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49432</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good orator is pointed and impassioned. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52499]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good orator is pointed and impassioned.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52499</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no remedy for sex but more sex. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28050]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no remedy for sex but more sex.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reason's biological function is to preserve and promote life and to postpone its extinction as long as possible.
