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[If a man cannot be a Christian in the place where he is, he cannot be a Christian anywhere. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8007]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a man cannot be a Christian in the place where he is, he cannot be a Christian anywhere.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8007</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Work is a necessary evil to be avoided. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62152]]></link><description><![CDATA[Work is a necessary evil to be avoided.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62152</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Language exerts hidden power, like the moon on the tides. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24072]]></link><description><![CDATA[Language exerts hidden power, like the moon on the tides.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24072</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is reading, but silent conversation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4576]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is reading, but silent conversation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You cannot live without lawyers, and certainly you cannot die without them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11243]]></link><description><![CDATA[You cannot live without lawyers, and certainly you cannot die without them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11243</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People generally quarrel because they can't argue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52705]]></link><description><![CDATA[People generally quarrel because they can't argue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52705</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sunwands turn rain droplets into blackberry drupelets as enkindled okra seeds acknowledge heliocracy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24454]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sunwands turn rain droplets into blackberry drupelets as enkindled okra seeds acknowledge heliocracy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no gathering the rose without being pricked by the thorns. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54421]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no gathering the rose without being pricked by the thorns.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God is becoming bitter, he envies man his mortality. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11191]]></link><description><![CDATA[God is becoming bitter, he envies man his mortality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Absence of occupation is not rest; A mind quite vacant is a mind distressed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46352]]></link><description><![CDATA[Absence of occupation is not rest; A mind quite vacant is a mind distressed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[18 straight whiskies - I think that's a record. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24150]]></link><description><![CDATA[18 straight whiskies - I think that's a record.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Respect yourself if you would have others respect you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66567]]></link><description><![CDATA[Respect yourself if you would have others respect you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If half thy outward graces had been placed About the thoughts and counsels of thy heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51432]]></link><description><![CDATA[If half thy outward graces had been placed About the thoughts and counsels of thy heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51432</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Listening is an attitude of the heart, a genuine desire to be with another which both attracts and heals. -J. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25188]]></link><description><![CDATA[Listening is an attitude of the heart, a genuine desire to be with another which both attracts and heals. -J.
