Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing. It's ok though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation.. so when I meet someone who's an 8-color type.. I'm like, "hey girl, magenta!" and she's like, "oh, you mean purple!" and she goes off on her purple thing, and I'm like, "no - I want magenta!"]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is richest who is content with the least, for content is the wealth of nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61463]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is richest who is content with the least, for content is the wealth of nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61463</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Water a farre off quencheth not fire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50039]]></link><description><![CDATA[Water a farre off quencheth not fire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50039</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Along with really protecting a lot of the young kids because they've been abused (in terms of usage) in high ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38905]]></link><description><![CDATA[Along with really protecting a lot of the young kids because they've been abused (in terms of usage) in high school and college, we're also going to be really aggressive with the guys that are in the system already.

The valiant Intellect went forth  To east and west and south and north, And found no trace of Him. We walked the world from sun to sun,  Logic and I, with little Faith,  But never came to Nazareth, Or found the Holy One. I sought in vain. And finally,  Back to the heart's small house I crept,  And fell upon my knees, and wept; And lo! -- He came to me!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7787</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thurber did not write the way a surgeon operates, he wrote the way a child skips rope, the way a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3244]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thurber did not write the way a surgeon operates, he wrote the way a child skips rope, the way a mouse waltzes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3244</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Martha has been a terrific partner.
