When you don't listen to what's being told it becomes rather frustrating. Like I told the guys, I will tell you what I want you to do and when it doesn't work, I'll take the blame but if you don't do what you are asked nothing can work.

That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the first of July be rainy weather, It will rain, more of less, for four weeks together. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23561]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the first of July be rainy weather, It will rain, more of less, for four weeks together.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23561</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ambition should be made of sterner stuff.rn ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64692]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ambition should be made of sterner stuff.rn]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no greater sign of a general decay of virtue in a nation, than a want of zeal in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62617]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no greater sign of a general decay of virtue in a nation, than a want of zeal in its inhabitants for the good of their country.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62617</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are fooles one to another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50042]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are fooles one to another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50042</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ever absent, ever near; Still I see thee, still I hear;  Yet I cannot reach thee, dear! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/144]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ever absent, ever near; Still I see thee, still I hear;  Yet I cannot reach thee, dear!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/144</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who controls the past controls the future.

God has no more wrath in Himself now than He had before the creation, when He had only Himself to love... And it was solely to quench this wrath, awakened in the human soul, that the blood of the Son of God was necessary; because nothing but a life and birth, derived from Him into the human soul, could change this darkened root of a self-tormenting fire into an amiable image of the Holy Trinity as it was at first created.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59774]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59774</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every one hath a foole in his sleeve. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49219]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every one hath a foole in his sleeve.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better lose a jest than a friend ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23218]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better lose a jest than a friend]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23218</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect.
