Some were mountainous; some lay in long, monotonous rows like, the basalt precipices hanging over desert canons. Such was the background of the wonderful, cruel, enchanting, bewildering, fatal, great city. But into this background were cut myriads of brilliant parallelograms and circles and squares through which glowed many colored lights. And out of the violet and purple depths ascended like the city's soul, sound and odors and thrills that make up the civic body. There arose the breath of gaiety unrestrained, of love, of hate, of all the passions that man can know. There below him lay all things, good or bad, that can be brought from the four corners of the earth to instruct, please, thrill, enrich, elevate, cast down, nurture or kill. Thus the flavor of it came up to him and went into his blood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I am in the cellar of affliction, I look for the Lord's choicest wines. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6753]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I am in the cellar of affliction, I look for the Lord's choicest wines.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6753</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...Although the political liberty of this country is greater than that of nearly every other civilized nation, its personal liberty ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47106]]></link><description><![CDATA[...Although the political liberty of this country is greater than that of nearly every other civilized nation, its personal liberty is said to be less.

We shall find ourselves advancing in our course; we shall feel the presence of God; we shall experience His love; we shall live in the enjoyment of His favour and in the hope of His glory... You often feel that your prayers scarcely reach the ceiling; but, oh, get into this humble spirit by considering how good the Lord is, and how evil you all are, and then prayer will mount on wings of faith to heaven. The sigh, the groan of a broken heart, will soon go through the ceiling up to heaven, aye, into the very bosom of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6848</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At twenty years of age, the will reigns; at thirty, the wit; and at forty, the judgement. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62485]]></link><description><![CDATA[At twenty years of age, the will reigns; at thirty, the wit; and at forty, the judgement.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62485</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money wants no followers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49632]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money wants no followers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49632</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are talking about a horrendous terrorist attack. ...
