When asked who he is, his automatic response is that he is a German, a Russian, a Japanese, a Christian, a Moslem, a member of a certain tribe or family. He has no purpose, worth and destiny apart from his collective body; and as long as that body lives he cannot really die.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Through the sharp air a flaky torrent flies, Mocks the slow sight, and hides the gloomy skies;  The fleecy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56711]]></link><description><![CDATA[Through the sharp air a flaky torrent flies, Mocks the slow sight, and hides the gloomy skies;  The fleecy clouds their chilly bosoms bare,   And shed their substance on the floating air.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Wright brothers flew through the smoke screen of impossibility. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20657]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Wright brothers flew through the smoke screen of impossibility.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20657</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Boys are beyond the range of anybody's sure understanding, at least when they are between the ages of 18 months ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4800]]></link><description><![CDATA[Boys are beyond the range of anybody's sure understanding, at least when they are between the ages of 18 months and 90 years.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4800</guid></item></channel></rss>
