In the same way, though I do not believe (I wish I did) that my desire for Paradise proves that I shall enjoy it, I think it a pretty good indication that such a thing exists and that some men will. A man may love a woman and not win her; but it would be very odd if the phenomenon called `falling in love" occurred in a sexless world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without a doubt, there's greater scrutiny, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41236]]></link><description><![CDATA[Without a doubt, there's greater scrutiny,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41236</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is absolutely no justification for the actions you have taken, ...
