to accept the bitter truth that, in the end, we may have to become a burden to those who love us. But it is necessary that we face this also. The full acceptance of our abjection and uselessness is the virtue that can make us and others rich in the grace of God. It takes heroic charity and humility to let others sustain us when we are absolutely incapable of sustaining ourselves. We cannot suffer well unless we see Christ everywhere, both in suffering and in the charity of those who come to the aid of our affliction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're clearly sending a message to employees that they will be rewarded for high performance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39800]]></link><description><![CDATA[They're clearly sending a message to employees that they will be rewarded for high performance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39800</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had nothing to lose.

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[We have no reason to suspect this was anything other than, well, a burglary. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40654]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have no reason to suspect this was anything other than, well, a burglary.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly American criminal class except Congress. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2437]]></link><description><![CDATA[It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly American criminal class except Congress.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2437</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is like music; it must be composed by ear, feeling, and instinct, not by rule. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43451]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is like music; it must be composed by ear, feeling, and instinct, not by rule.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43451</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Elk existed at one time in 48 of the 50 states.

One of his workmen observed his frequent visits to the spot and decided to watch his movements. He soon discovered the secret of the hidden treasure, and digging down, came to the lump of gold, and stole it. The Miser, on his next visit, found the hole empty and began to tear his hair and to make loud lamentations. A neighbor, seeing him overcome with grief and learning the cause, said, Pray do not grieve so; but go and take a stone, and place it in the hole, and fancy that the gold is still lying there. It will do you quite the same service; for when the gold was there, you had it not, as you did not make the slightest use of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If any man shall have ears to hear, let him hear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48580]]></link><description><![CDATA[If any man shall have ears to hear, let him hear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48580</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Drill for oil?
