Mother, wife, or sister, Woman is the caress of life, the soothing sweetness of affection shed over its toils, a reflection for the individual of the loving providence which watches over Humanity. In her there is treasure enough of consoling tenderness to allay every pain. Moreover for every one of us she is the initiator of the future. The mother's first kiss teaches the child love; the first holy kiss of the woman he loves teaches man hope and faith in life; and love and faith create a desire for perfection and the power of reaching towards it step by step; create the future, in short, of which the living symbol is the child, link between us and the generations to come. Through her the Family, with its divine mystery of reproduction, points to Eternity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If evil be spoken of you and it be true, correct yourself, if it be a lie, laugh at it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4706]]></link><description><![CDATA[If evil be spoken of you and it be true, correct yourself, if it be a lie, laugh at it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Teach your child to hold his tongue, He'll learn fast enough to speak. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5909]]></link><description><![CDATA[Teach your child to hold his tongue, He'll learn fast enough to speak.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are few people who are more often in the wrong than those who cannot endure to be so. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62446]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are few people who are more often in the wrong than those who cannot endure to be so.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62446</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Because, you know what your hours are going to be and they also have periods of time off within the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28388]]></link><description><![CDATA[Because, you know what your hours are going to be and they also have periods of time off within the season, that you just don't get on an hour show.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28388</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who talks much cannot talk well. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25544]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who talks much cannot talk well.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25544</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Youth condemns; maturity condones. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26577]]></link><description><![CDATA[Youth condemns; maturity condones.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26577</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vision without a task is only a dream.

Can I really be expected to take this seriously?In fact, of course, it is necessary for it to be nonsense; if it made sense, it could be evaluated. The essence of modern intellectual snobbery is the 'emperor's new cloths' approach.
