We allowed you a charade of trivial freedoms in order to avoid making those impositions on you that are in the end both the training ground and proving ground for true independence. We pronounced you strong when you were still weak in order to avoid the struggles with you that would have fed your true strength. We proclaimed you sound when you were foolish in order to avoid taking part in the long, slow, slogging effort that is the only route to genuine maturity of mind and feeling. Thus, it was no small anomaly of your growing up that while you were the most indulged generation, you were also in many ways the most abandoned to your own meager devices by those into whose safe-keeping you had been given.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No possession is gratifying without a companion. [Lat., Nullius boni sine sociis jucunda possessio est.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9121]]></link><description><![CDATA[No possession is gratifying without a companion. [Lat., Nullius boni sine sociis jucunda possessio est.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9121</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Get place and wealth, if possible, with grace; If not, by any means get wealth and place. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61421]]></link><description><![CDATA[Get place and wealth, if possible, with grace; If not, by any means get wealth and place.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My parents are responsible for the two things I like doing most - driving and magic tricks.

This is extremely difficult for us, because Jesus was careful to give men no external guarantee that he was, in fact, God in the flesh. Otherwise, he realized, we would not be worshipping him, but would only be worshipping or trusting in the guarantee, whatever it might be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6640</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Weak souls always set to work at the wrong time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46241]]></link><description><![CDATA[Weak souls always set to work at the wrong time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am often surprised by the cleverness, and now and again by the stupidity of my dog; and I have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58375]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am often surprised by the cleverness, and now and again by the stupidity of my dog; and I have similar experiences with mankind]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58375</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's dirty, he's dirty, he's dirty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40969]]></link><description><![CDATA[He's dirty, he's dirty, he's dirty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40969</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Energy is equal to desire and purpose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13889]]></link><description><![CDATA[Energy is equal to desire and purpose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He will go back to the old faith he learnt Beside his mother's knee. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51551]]></link><description><![CDATA[He will go back to the old faith he learnt Beside his mother's knee.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We always strive for that which is forbidden, and desire that which is denied us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50798]]></link><description><![CDATA[We always strive for that which is forbidden, and desire that which is denied us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nationality is respectable only when it is on the defense, when it is waging wars of liberation it is sacred; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43704]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nationality is respectable only when it is on the defense, when it is waging wars of liberation it is sacred; when those of domination it is accursed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43704</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To insure peace of mind ignore the rules and regulations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35531]]></link><description><![CDATA[To insure peace of mind ignore the rules and regulations.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no law more just, than that he, who plots death, should perish by his own craft. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50783]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no law more just, than that he, who plots death, should perish by his own craft.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ye rigid Ploughman! bear in mind Your labor is for future hours.  Advance! spare not! nor look behind!  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1954]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ye rigid Ploughman! bear in mind Your labor is for future hours.  Advance! spare not! nor look behind!   Plough deep and straight with all your powers!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1954</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A thorough reading and understanding of the Bible is the surest path to atheism ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3412]]></link><description><![CDATA[A thorough reading and understanding of the Bible is the surest path to atheism]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3412</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["My country, right or wrong," is a thing that no patriot would think of saying except in a desperate case. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45768]]></link><description><![CDATA["My country, right or wrong," is a thing that no patriot would think of saying except in a desperate case.
