Every time I walk out the door, I know why I'm going where I'm going and I'm already focused on that special place where I find my peace and solitude. Running, to me, is more than just a physical exercise... it's a consistent reward for victory!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many people died from no water and no food. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29703]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many people died from no water and no food.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29703</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He Greek and Latin speaks with greater ease Than hogs eat acorns, and tame pigeons peas. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25124]]></link><description><![CDATA[He Greek and Latin speaks with greater ease Than hogs eat acorns, and tame pigeons peas.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25124</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are our dearly beloved brothers, and in a certain way, it could be said that you are our elder ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4951]]></link><description><![CDATA[You are our dearly beloved brothers, and in a certain way, it could be said that you are our elder brothers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Although I enter not, Yet round about the spot  Ofttimes I hover;   And near the sacred gate, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14636]]></link><description><![CDATA[Although I enter not, Yet round about the spot  Ofttimes I hover;   And near the sacred gate,    With longing eyes I wait,     Expectant of her.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14636</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't think there was any doubt at all.

His road home lay across a stream into which his Ass, making a false step, fell by accident and rose up again with his load considerably lighter, as the water melted the sack. The Peddler retraced his steps and refilled his panniers with a larger quantity of salt than before. When he came again to the stream, the Ass fell down on purpose in the same spot, and, regaining his feet with the weight of his load much diminished, brayed triumphantly as if he had obtained what he desired. The Peddler saw through his trick and drove him for the third time to the coast, where he bought a cargo of sponges instead of salt. The Ass, again playing the fool, fell down on purpose when he reached the stream, but the sponges became swollen with water, greatly increasing his load. And thus his trick recoiled on him, for he now carried on his back a double burden.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We conquered France, but felt our captive's charms, Her arts victorious triumph'd o'er our arms. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60591]]></link><description><![CDATA[We conquered France, but felt our captive's charms, Her arts victorious triumph'd o'er our arms.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60591</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Religion, Credit, and the Eye are not to be touched. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49731]]></link><description><![CDATA[Religion, Credit, and the Eye are not to be touched.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man builds a fine house; and now he has a master, and a task for life: he is to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19631]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man builds a fine house; and now he has a master, and a task for life: he is to furnish, watch, show it, and keep it in repair, the rest of his days.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19631</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woodland in full color is awesome as a forest fire; but a single tree is like a dancing tongue ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54962]]></link><description><![CDATA[A woodland in full color is awesome as a forest fire; but a single tree is like a dancing tongue of flame to warm the heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe this payola scandal may represent the most widespread and flagrant violation of any FCC rules in the history ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38980]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe this payola scandal may represent the most widespread and flagrant violation of any FCC rules in the history of American broadcasting, ...

It can happen to anyone who is prepared to abandon proof-texts and a closed attitude of mind, and allow not merely the stories but the quality of the Figure Who exists behind the stories to meet him afresh. Neat snippets of a few verses are of course useful in their way, but the overall sweep and much of the significance of the Gospel narratives are lost to us unless we are prepared to read the Gospels through, not once but several times.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A strange, glazed expression came into his eyes and he staggered around the cabin looking for all the world like ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62676]]></link><description><![CDATA[A strange, glazed expression came into his eyes and he staggered around the cabin looking for all the world like a zombie unwilling to take part in an experiment in advanced necromancy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62676</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is difficult for some people to accept that love is a choice.
