You dare not wholly neglect Religion, but then you take no more than is just sufficient to keep you from being a terror to yourself, and you are as loth to be very good as you are fearful to be very bad.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Lyons skin is never cheape. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49052]]></link><description><![CDATA[A Lyons skin is never cheape.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49052</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Parliament is nothing less than a big meeting of more or less idle people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45542]]></link><description><![CDATA[A Parliament is nothing less than a big meeting of more or less idle people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Think, ye may buy the joys o'er dear, Remember Tam o'Shanter's mare. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48703]]></link><description><![CDATA[Think, ye may buy the joys o'er dear, Remember Tam o'Shanter's mare.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48703</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Engrave this Quote 	He dreamed he was eating shredded wheat and woke up to find the mattress half gone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65540]]></link><description><![CDATA[Engrave this Quote 	He dreamed he was eating shredded wheat and woke up to find the mattress half gone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65540</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nursing her wrath to keep it warm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2534]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nursing her wrath to keep it warm.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I were better to be eaten to death with a rust than to be scoured to nothing with perpetual motion. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55913]]></link><description><![CDATA[I were better to be eaten to death with a rust than to be scoured to nothing with perpetual motion. -King Henry IV.
