When it is not, he takes his mind off his own meaningless affairs by minding other people's business.This minding of other people's business expresses itself in gossip, snooping and meddling, and also in feverish interest in communal, national and racial affairs. In running away from ourselves we either fall on our neighbor's shoulder or fly at his throat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't be a BEN brother, should have been, would have been, could have been, or might have been. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1471]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't be a BEN brother, should have been, would have been, could have been, or might have been.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1471</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I buy women shoes and they use them to walk away from me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22386]]></link><description><![CDATA[I buy women shoes and they use them to walk away from me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22386</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hate quotation.

Prosperity has power to intoxicate the imagination, to fix the mind upon the present scene, to produce confidence and elation, and to make him who enjoys affluence and honors forget the hand by which they were bestowed. It is seldom that we are otherwise than by affliction awakened to a sense of our imbecility, or taught to know how little all our acquisitions can conduce to safety or quiet, and how justly we may inscribe to the superintendence of a higher power those blessings which in the wantonness of success we considered as the attainments of our policy and courage.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8194</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never a lip is curved with pain That can't be kissed into smiles again. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45397]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never a lip is curved with pain That can't be kissed into smiles again.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remember, no human condition is ever permanent.
