The real milestones are less prepossessing. They come to the door of memory unannounced, stray dogs that amble in, sniff around a bit and almost never leave. Our lives are measured by those.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63192</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A soldier will fight long and hard for a bit of colored ribbon. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19695]]></link><description><![CDATA[A soldier will fight long and hard for a bit of colored ribbon.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Then the nun-like twilight came, violent vestured and still, And the night's first star outshone afar on the eve of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59935]]></link><description><![CDATA[Then the nun-like twilight came, violent vestured and still, And the night's first star outshone afar on the eve of Bunker Hill.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59935</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis true no lover has that pow'r T' enforce a desperate amour,  As he that has two strings t' ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51960]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis true no lover has that pow'r T' enforce a desperate amour,  As he that has two strings t' his bow,   And burns for love and money too.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51960</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["What is a church?"--Our honest sexton tells, 'Tis a tall building, with a tower and bells. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8672]]></link><description><![CDATA["What is a church?"--Our honest sexton tells, 'Tis a tall building, with a tower and bells.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Edward the Confessor, 1066   Our wills are not ours to be crushed and broken; they are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6411]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Edward the Confessor, 1066   Our wills are not ours to be crushed and broken; they are ours to be trained and strengthened. Our affections are not ours to be blighted and crucified; they are ours to be deepened and purified. The rich opportunities of life are not held out to us only to be snatched away by an invisible hand patiently waiting for the hour when the cup is sweetest; they are given to us that we may grow, alike through their rise or their withdrawal. They are real, they are sweet, and they are worthy of our longing for them; we gain nothing by calling them dross, or the world an illusion, or ourselves the victims of deception, or by exalting renunciation as the highest virtue. When these opportunities are denied us, it is a real, not an imaginary, loss which we sustain; and our part is not that of bare renunciation, of simple surrender; our part is to recognize the loss, to bear the pain, and to find a deeper and richer life in doing the will of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My tragic view of life... leads me to have little patience with the chronic complaining I hear in modern society ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9240]]></link><description><![CDATA[My tragic view of life... leads me to have little patience with the chronic complaining I hear in modern society from people who have so much yet act as if life and society have conspired to oppress them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9240</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If there was one thing all the losses in her life had taught her it was that life was short, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66100]]></link><description><![CDATA[If there was one thing all the losses in her life had taught her it was that life was short, fleeting, and way too precious to waste waiting around for happiness to hit you over the head and make itself known.

If we are whimpering, and sniveling, and begging to be spared the discipline of life that is sent to knock some smatterings of manhood into us, the answer to that prayer may never come at all. Thank God! Though, indeed, it is not easy to say that, with honesty. Still, it may never come at all, thank God. But if you have attained as far as Epictetus--pagan though you would call him--whose daily prayer was this: "O God, give me what Thou desirest for me, for I know that what Thou choosest for me is far better than I could choose"; if you are not bleating to get off, but asking to be given grace and strength to see this through with honour, "the very day" you pray that prayer, the answer always comes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you different. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13109]]></link><description><![CDATA[I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you different.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13109</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64374]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While the discreet advise, the foole doth his busines. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50089]]></link><description><![CDATA[While the discreet advise, the foole doth his busines.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50089</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["There beauty half her glory veils, In cabs, those gondolas on wheels." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25405]]></link><description><![CDATA["There beauty half her glory veils, In cabs, those gondolas on wheels."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In just the last two and a half or three years, I've noticed a big difference in the clientele. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34674]]></link><description><![CDATA[In just the last two and a half or three years, I've noticed a big difference in the clientele.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be thankful we're not getting all the government we're paying for. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18037]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be thankful we're not getting all the government we're paying for.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18037</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shows like CSI are teaching people that without forensic evidence you can't convict anybody. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42528]]></link><description><![CDATA[Shows like CSI are teaching people that without forensic evidence you can't convict anybody.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42528</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was close.
