When asked who he is, his automatic response is that he is a German, a Russian, a Japanese, a Christian, a Moslem, a member of a certain tribe or family. He has no purpose, worth and destiny apart from his collective body; and as long as that body lives he cannot really die.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is only one honest impulse at the bottom of Puritanism, and that is the impulse to punish the man ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52196]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is only one honest impulse at the bottom of Puritanism, and that is the impulse to punish the man with a superior capacity for happiness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52196</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In dog years, I'm dead. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12683]]></link><description><![CDATA[In dog years, I'm dead.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Why don't you come up sometime 'n see me?
