The great Christian graces are radiant with happiness. Faith, hope, charity, there is no sadness in them; and if penitence makes the heart sad, penitence belongs to the sinner, not to the saint.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6200</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we were to ask the brain how it would like to be treated, whether shaken at a random, irregular ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52432]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we were to ask the brain how it would like to be treated, whether shaken at a random, irregular rate, or in a rhythmic, harmonious fashion, we can be sure that the brain, or for that matter the whole body, would prefer the latter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52432</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The past grows gradually around one, like a placenta for dying. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19470]]></link><description><![CDATA[The past grows gradually around one, like a placenta for dying.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19470</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I look at the future, it's so bright it burns my eyes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43346]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I look at the future, it's so bright it burns my eyes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43346</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've had a few arguments with people, but I never carry a grudge.
