Which siding with invention, they together  Bear all the sway, possessing heart and brain (Thy workmanship), and give thee share in neither. Wit fancies beauty, beauty raiseth wit:  The world is theirs; they two play out the game,  Thou standing by: and though thy glorious name Wrought our deliverance from th' infernal pit, Who sings thy praise? only a scarf or glove  Doth warm our hands, and make them write of love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6949</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O Cicero, I have seen tempests when the scolding winds  Have rived the knotty oaks, and I have seen ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57905]]></link><description><![CDATA[O Cicero, I have seen tempests when the scolding winds  Have rived the knotty oaks, and I have seen   Th' ambitious ocean swell and rage and foam    To be exalted with the threat'ning clouds;     But never till to-night, never till now,      Did I go through a tempest dropping fire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is better to have a lion at the head of an army od sheep, than a sheep at the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24486]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is better to have a lion at the head of an army od sheep, than a sheep at the head of an army of lions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24486</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The law is simply expediency wearing a long white dress. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14640]]></link><description><![CDATA[The law is simply expediency wearing a long white dress.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14640</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A poore beauty finds more lovers then husbands. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49070]]></link><description><![CDATA[A poore beauty finds more lovers then husbands.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49070</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was a lucky win.
