I love riches because they afford me the means of helping the very poor. I keep faith with everybody; I do not render evil to those who wrong me, but I wish them a situation like mine, in which I receive neither good nor evil from men. I try to be just, true, sincere, and faithful to all men; I have a tender heart for those to whom God has more closely united me; and whether I am alone, or seen by people, I do all my actions in the sight of God, who must judge them, and to whom I have consecrated them all. These are my sentiments; and every day of my life, I bless my Redeemer, who has implanted them in me, and who, out of a man full of weakness, of miseries, of lust, of pride, and of ambition, has made a man free from all these evils by the power of His grace, to which all the glory of it is due, as of myself I have only misery and error.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A people free to choose will always choose peace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63422]]></link><description><![CDATA[A people free to choose will always choose peace.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the long run, we only hit what we aim at. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45109]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the long run, we only hit what we aim at.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45109</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The prosperous can not easily form a right idea of misery. [Lat., Est felicibus difficilis miserarium vera aestimatio.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48490]]></link><description><![CDATA[The prosperous can not easily form a right idea of misery. [Lat., Est felicibus difficilis miserarium vera aestimatio.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Necessity hath no law.

The gospel of love -- with its emphasis upon brotherhood, equality before God, the dignity of every human being, and man's social responsibility toward man -- does not satisfy the lack that he urgently feels. That calls for something altogether different, for an assurance that he is superior, that he is right where others are wrong -- a kind of cosmic teacher's pet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7788</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best author will be the one who is ashamed to become a writer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63626]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best author will be the one who is ashamed to become a writer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63626</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One often calms one's grief by recounting it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19058]]></link><description><![CDATA[One often calms one's grief by recounting it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Slanders are like flies, that pass all over a man's good parts to light on his sores. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56559]]></link><description><![CDATA[Slanders are like flies, that pass all over a man's good parts to light on his sores.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves; they therefore remain bound. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2287]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves; they therefore remain bound.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Accent is the soul of a language; it gives the feeling and truth to it. [Fr., L'accent est l'ame du ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24010]]></link><description><![CDATA[Accent is the soul of a language; it gives the feeling and truth to it. [Fr., L'accent est l'ame du discours, il lui donne le sentiment et la verite.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24010</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[worked together as effectively as the terrorists do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40149]]></link><description><![CDATA[worked together as effectively as the terrorists do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Then he will talk--good gods, how he will talk! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58616]]></link><description><![CDATA[Then he will talk--good gods, how he will talk!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am glad that I paid so little attention to good advice; had I abided by it I might have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1062]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am glad that I paid so little attention to good advice; had I abided by it I might have been saved from some of my most valuable mistakes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1062</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were.
