But surely a man's hunger does prove that he comes of a race which repairs its body by eating and inhabits a world where eatable substances exist. In the same way, though I do not believe (I wish I did) that my desire for Paradise proves that I shall enjoy it, I think it a pretty good indication that such a thing exists and that some men will. A man may love a woman and not win her; but it would be very odd if the phenomenon called `falling in love" occurred in a sexless world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a fount about to stream, There's a light about to beam,  There's a warmth about to glow,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59457]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's a fount about to stream, There's a light about to beam,  There's a warmth about to glow,   There's a flower about to blow;    There's a midnight blackness changing     Into gray;      Men of thought and men of action,       Clear the way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59457</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not call the forest that shelters you a jungle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23570]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not call the forest that shelters you a jungle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you are an Anvill, hold you still; when you are a hammer, strike your fill. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50080]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you are an Anvill, hold you still; when you are a hammer, strike your fill.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you want to study the social and political history of modern nations, study hell ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43709]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you want to study the social and political history of modern nations, study hell]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43709</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ideas are refined and multiplied in the commerce of minds.
