Let thy holy angels pitch their tents round about and dwell here, that no illusion of the night may abuse me, the spirits of darkness may not come near to hurt me, no evil or sad accident oppress me; and let the eternal Spirit of the Father dwell in my soul and body, filling every corner of my heart with light and grace. Let no deed of darkness overtake me; and let thy blessing, most blessed God, be upon me for ever, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know that they like to run.

Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23381</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you want to catch more fish, use more hooks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35545]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you want to catch more fish, use more hooks.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35545</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unhappy the land that is in need of heroes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19253]]></link><description><![CDATA[Unhappy the land that is in need of heroes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19253</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you want an open society, you have to put up with the chaos. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26862]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you want an open society, you have to put up with the chaos.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Say to pleasure, Gentle Eve, I will none of your apple. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49735]]></link><description><![CDATA[Say to pleasure, Gentle Eve, I will none of your apple.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49735</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sad part is, there will be no problem selling out those $1,000 parties.
