Even though much of what we have exists only as a series of ones and zeroes somewhere in the information sphere, we do get paper copies and we should hang on to those. The movie 'The Net,' I think, makes a very intriguing point, about this very computer literate protagonist who has few human connections, and this is precisely the reason she's vulnerable to the kind of attack she suffers. It seems to me that if we keep that in mind we'll be well served.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38707</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the midst of hopes and cares, of apprehensions and of disquietude, regard every day that dawns upon you as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24882]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the midst of hopes and cares, of apprehensions and of disquietude, regard every day that dawns upon you as if it was to be your last; then super-added hours, to the enjoyment of which you had not looked forward, will prove an acceptable boon. -Horace.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24882</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I die I want to decompose in a barrel of porter and have it served in all the pubs ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11287]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I die I want to decompose in a barrel of porter and have it served in all the pubs in Dublin.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People grow old only by deserting their ideals, Macarthur had written.

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up interest wrinkles the soul. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope as old as your despair. In the central place of every heart there is a recording chamber. So long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer and courage, so long are you young. When your heart is covered with the snows of pessimism and the ice of cynicism, then, and then only, are you grown old. And then, indeed as the ballad says, you just fade away.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62528</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These two teams match up well.

But this life is not a season to be always taking wages in; our work is not yet done; we are not always to abide in this mount; we must down again into the battle -- fight again, cry again, complain again. Shall the soul be thought now to have lost its assurance? Not at all. It had before assurance with joy, triumph, and exultation; it hath it now, or may have, with wrestling, cries, tears, and supplications. And a man's assurance may be as good, as true, when he lies on the earth with a sense of sin, as when he is carried up to the third heaven with a sense of love and foretaste of glory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A bride received into the home is like a horse that you have just bought; you break her in by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4915]]></link><description><![CDATA[A bride received into the home is like a horse that you have just bought; you break her in by constantly mounting her and continually beating her]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything was as normal as could be for something like this, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32330]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything was as normal as could be for something like this,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32330</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O, hell! to choose love by another's eyes. -A Midsummer Night's Dream.
