He hath many seekers of comfort, but few of tribulation. He findeth many companions of His table, but few of His fasting. All desire to rejoice with Him, few are willing to undergo anything for His sake. Many follow Jesus that they may eat of His loaves, but few that they may drink of the cup of His passion. Many are astonished at His miracles, few follow after the shame of His Cross. Many love Jesus so long as no adversities happen to them. Many praise Him and bless Him, so long as they receive any comforts from Him. But if Jesus hide Himself and withdraw a little while, they fall either into complaining or into too great dejection of mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7398</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fruit of silence is tranquillity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59565]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fruit of silence is tranquillity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59565</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nature uses as little as possible of anything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43825]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nature uses as little as possible of anything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43825</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'd rather regret the things I've done than regret the things I haven't done. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66286]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'd rather regret the things I've done than regret the things I haven't done.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66286</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not true that suffering ennobles the character; happiness does that sometimes, but suffering for the most part, makes ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58216]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not true that suffering ennobles the character; happiness does that sometimes, but suffering for the most part, makes men petty and vindictive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our lives are the only meaningful expression of what we believe and in Whom we believe.

But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43377</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A girl is Innocence playing in the mud, Beauty standing on its head, and Motherhood dragging a doll by the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43193]]></link><description><![CDATA[A girl is Innocence playing in the mud, Beauty standing on its head, and Motherhood dragging a doll by the foot]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can say Osama bin Laden, Mullah Omar, and Hekmatyar represent a threat to the world and we believe we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45312]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can say Osama bin Laden, Mullah Omar, and Hekmatyar represent a threat to the world and we believe we will catch them within the next year.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45312</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I grant you, friends, if you should fright the ladies out of their wits, they would have no more discretion ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60925]]></link><description><![CDATA[I grant you, friends, if you should fright the ladies out of their wits, they would have no more discretion but to hang us; but I will aggravate my voice so that I will roar you as gently as any suckling dove; I will roar you an 'twere any nightingale.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60925</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9045]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My idea of an agreeable person is a person who agrees with me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1926]]></link><description><![CDATA[My idea of an agreeable person is a person who agrees with me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1926</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody trips over mountains.
