Buy the sofa, then for a couple years you're satisfied that no matter what goes wrong, at least you've got your sofa issue handled. Then the right set of dishes. Then the perfect bed. The drapes. The rug. Then you're trapped in your lovely nest, and the things you used to own, now they own you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My voice is still for war. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61123]]></link><description><![CDATA[My voice is still for war.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61123</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ill habits gather by unseen degrees, As brooks make rivers, rivers run to seas. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18529]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ill habits gather by unseen degrees, As brooks make rivers, rivers run to seas.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Want to make your computer go really fast?

Many otherwise intelligent people have never read with adult attention either the four Gospels or the Letters of the New Testament. When they so do, to my certain knowledge they not infrequently become converted. Indeed, I know of no adult who has seriously studied the New Testament and rejected the stories of Christ as mythical or the evidence of changed lives in the Letters as mere fabrication.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, tell me whence Love cometh! Love comes uncall'd, unsent.  Oh, tell me where Love goeth!   That ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25606]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, tell me whence Love cometh! Love comes uncall'd, unsent.  Oh, tell me where Love goeth!   That was not Love that went.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What song the Syrens sang, or what name Achilles assumed when he hid himself among women. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11519]]></link><description><![CDATA[What song the Syrens sang, or what name Achilles assumed when he hid himself among women.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When health is absent, wisdom cannot reveal itself, art cannot manifest, strength cannot fight, wealth becomes useless, and intelligence cannot ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18967]]></link><description><![CDATA[When health is absent, wisdom cannot reveal itself, art cannot manifest, strength cannot fight, wealth becomes useless, and intelligence cannot be applied. -Herophilus.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18967</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing contributes so much to tranquilizing the mind as a steadypurpose-a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21710]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing contributes so much to tranquilizing the mind as a steadypurpose-a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rast ich, so rost ich.

This is plainly what has happened to many otherwise intelligent people. Over the years I have had hundreds of conversations with people, many of them of higher intellectual calibre than my own, who quite obviously had no idea of what Christianity is really about. I was in no case trying to catch them out: I was simply and gently trying to find out what they knew about the New Testament. My conclusion was that they knew virtually nothing. This I find pathetic and somewhat horrifying. It means that the most important Event in human history is politely and quietly bypassed. For it is not as though the evidence had been examined and found unconvincing: it had simply never been examined.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any one who is prosperous may by the turn of fortune's wheel become most wretched before evening. [Lat., Quivis beatus, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16568]]></link><description><![CDATA[Any one who is prosperous may by the turn of fortune's wheel become most wretched before evening. [Lat., Quivis beatus, versa rota fortunae, ante vesperum potest esse miserrimus.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Abstinence is the surety of temperance ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/186]]></link><description><![CDATA[Abstinence is the surety of temperance]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a tragic mix-up when the United States spends $500,000 for every enemy soldier killed, and only $53 annually ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20937]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a tragic mix-up when the United States spends $500,000 for every enemy soldier killed, and only $53 annually on the victims of poverty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whose own hard dealings teaches them suspect The thoughts of others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51404]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whose own hard dealings teaches them suspect The thoughts of others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51404</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.'
