That is, we need our problems, though this does not imply that we should purposely create additional problems for ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15736</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The diamond's virtues well might grace The epigram, and both excel  In brilliancy in smallest space,   And ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14057]]></link><description><![CDATA[The diamond's virtues well might grace The epigram, and both excel  In brilliancy in smallest space,   And power to cut as well.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14057</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Consider well what your shoulders are able to bear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50203]]></link><description><![CDATA[Consider well what your shoulders are able to bear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50203</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The happy bells shall ring Marguerite; The summer birds shall sing Marguerite;  You smile but you shall wear  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16239]]></link><description><![CDATA[The happy bells shall ring Marguerite; The summer birds shall sing Marguerite;  You smile but you shall wear   Orange blossoms in your hair, Marguerite.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16239</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're certainly a lot deeper.

But surely a man's hunger does prove that he comes of a race which repairs its body by eating and inhabits a world where eatable substances exist. In the same way, though I do not believe (I wish I did) that my desire for Paradise proves that I shall enjoy it, I think it a pretty good indication that such a thing exists and that some men will. A man may love a woman and not win her; but it would be very odd if the phenomenon called `falling in love" occurred in a sexless world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One man meets an infamous punishment for that crime which confers a diadem on others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52576]]></link><description><![CDATA[One man meets an infamous punishment for that crime which confers a diadem on others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We welcome moves towards reforms such as these, but it remains to be seen whether they will lead to better ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41752]]></link><description><![CDATA[We welcome moves towards reforms such as these, but it remains to be seen whether they will lead to better quality trials and a significant reduction in the number of people sentenced to death.
