He knocked at the door and inquired of the inmates how they all did, saying that if they were ill, he would be happy to prescribe for them and cure them. They replied, We are all very well, and shall continue so, if you will only be good enough to go away, and leave us as we are.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1579</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This means that five days a week, we are sending our school children into environments where there is an abundance ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30852]]></link><description><![CDATA[This means that five days a week, we are sending our school children into environments where there is an abundance of high-calorie, low-nutritional-quality, inexpensive food.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30852</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13569]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide. -Ralph Waldo Emerson.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a communion with God that asks for nothing, yet asks for everything...

One day others will come who will do the same things better. And some day he will have been completely forgotten--even if he should have built the pyramids or the St. Gotthard tunnel or invented atomic fission. And one thing is even more certain: whether the achievement of a man's life is great or small, significant or insignificant, he will one day stand before his eternal judge, and everything that he has done and performed will be no more than a mole hill, and then he will have nothing better to do than hope for something he has not earned: not for a crown, but quite simply for gracious judgment which he has not deserved. That is the only thing that will count then, achievement or not. "My kindness shall not depart from you." By this man lives. By this alone can he live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[May his body rest free from evil. [Lat., Corpus requiescat a malis.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14100]]></link><description><![CDATA[May his body rest free from evil. [Lat., Corpus requiescat a malis.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dreading that climax of all earthly ills, The inflammation of his weekly bills. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48731]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dreading that climax of all earthly ills, The inflammation of his weekly bills.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
