Wherever you go, make some of those women your friends; which a very little matter will do. Ask their advice, tell them your doubts or difficulties as to your behavior; but take great care not to drop one word of their experience; for experience implies age, and the suspicion of age, no woman, let her be ever so old, ever forgives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To do a perfectly unselfish act for selfish motives. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17155]]></link><description><![CDATA[To do a perfectly unselfish act for selfish motives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17155</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He ceased: but left so charming on their ear His voice, that listening still they seemed to hear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60913]]></link><description><![CDATA[He ceased: but left so charming on their ear His voice, that listening still they seemed to hear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do not give you to posterity as a pattern to imitate, but as an example to deter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14397]]></link><description><![CDATA[I do not give you to posterity as a pattern to imitate, but as an example to deter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12177]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You look rather rash my dear your colors don't quite match your face. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32309]]></link><description><![CDATA[You look rather rash my dear your colors don't quite match your face.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I always wished for this, but it\'s almost turning into more of a nightmare than a dream. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66723]]></link><description><![CDATA[I always wished for this, but it\'s almost turning into more of a nightmare than a dream.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66723</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We tend to scoff at the beliefs of the ancients.

Thine I am, O spotless Lamb; I will suffer naught to hide Thee,  Ask for naught beside Thee. In Thine arm I rest me; foes who would molest me  Cannot reach me here. Though the earth be shaking, every heart be quaking,  God dispels our fear. Sin and hell in conflict fell With their heaviest storms assail us:  Jesus will not fail us. Hence, all thoughts of sadness! For the Lord of gladness,  Jesus, enters in: Those who love the Father, though the storms may gather,  Still have peace within; Yes, whate'er we here must bear, Still in Thee lies purest pleasure,  Jesus, priceless treasure!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't like giving names to generations.
