The possession of family wealth and of the distinction which attends hereditary possessions (as most concerned in it,) are the natural securities for this transmission.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You will be judges of the fact.

Most emphatically, the Psalms must be read as poems -- as lyrics, with all the licenses and all the formalities, the hyperboles, the emotional rather than logical connections, which are proper to lyric poetry... Otherwise we shall miss what is in them and think we see what is not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Spring makes its own statement, so loud and clear that the gardener seems to be only one of the instruments, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63019]]></link><description><![CDATA[Spring makes its own statement, so loud and clear that the gardener seems to be only one of the instruments, not the composer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63019</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't let something that doesn't matter cause you to lose something that does. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63084]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't let something that doesn't matter cause you to lose something that does.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I had them lay on the ground until the sheriff's department got there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38672]]></link><description><![CDATA[I had them lay on the ground until the sheriff's department got there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An economist is an expert who will know tomorrow why the things he predicted yesterday didn't happen today. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15704]]></link><description><![CDATA[An economist is an expert who will know tomorrow why the things he predicted yesterday didn't happen today.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15704</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So may glory from defect arise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17539]]></link><description><![CDATA[So may glory from defect arise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is missing someone whenever you're apart, but somehow feeling warm inside because you're close in heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19006]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is missing someone whenever you're apart, but somehow feeling warm inside because you're close in heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19006</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[who will shuffle when he's not going anywhere, scratch when he's not itching and grin when he's not tickled. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33478]]></link><description><![CDATA[who will shuffle when he's not going anywhere, scratch when he's not itching and grin when he's not tickled.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vnder water, famine;
