But then I thought, if a patient said, "How's my back tooth?" and you just looked at it with your X-ray vision and said, "Oh it's okay," then the patient would probably say, "Aren't you going to take an X-ray, stupid?" and you'd say, "Aw fuck you, get outta here," and then he probably wouldn't even pay his bill.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11770</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever acquires knowledge but does not practice it, isas one who plows but does not sow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21704]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whoever acquires knowledge but does not practice it, isas one who plows but does not sow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21704</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is still complicated for all the sides in the group, not only Spain , ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41158]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is still complicated for all the sides in the group, not only Spain ,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41158</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Because a thing seems difficult for you, do not think it impossible for anyone to accomplish. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12254]]></link><description><![CDATA[Because a thing seems difficult for you, do not think it impossible for anyone to accomplish.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stone walls do not a prison make, Nor iron bars a cage,  Minds innocent and quiet take   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48264]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stone walls do not a prison make, Nor iron bars a cage,  Minds innocent and quiet take   That for an hermitage.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48264</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I can no longer bear to think of the victims of broken homes, I begin to think of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27097]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I can no longer bear to think of the victims of broken homes, I begin to think of the victims of intact ones.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27097</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unhappy, let alone angry, religious people provide more persuasive arguments for atheism and secularism than do all the arguments of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20305]]></link><description><![CDATA[Unhappy, let alone angry, religious people provide more persuasive arguments for atheism and secularism than do all the arguments of atheists.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great men are always of a nature originally melancholy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58881]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great men are always of a nature originally melancholy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58881</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult, to leave unsaid the wrong ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10110]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10110</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't make a habit of pointing out other people's flaws.

It is no use passing judgments and making scapegoats of this or that individual statesman or group of statesmen. Idealists make a great mistake in not facing the real facts sincerely and resolutely. They believe in the power of the spirit, in the goodness which is at the heart of things, in the triumph which is in store for the great moral ideals of the race. But this great faith only too often leads to an optimism which is sadly and fatally at variance with actual results. It is the realist and not the idealist who is generally justified by events. We forget that the human spirit, the spirit of goodness and truth in the world, is still only an infant crying in the night, and that the struggle with darkness is as yet mostly an unequal struggle. . . . Paris proved this terrible truth once more. It was not Wilson who failed there, but humanity itself. It was not the statesmen that failed, so much as the spirit of the peoples behind them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62235</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every year the kids learn something and I learn something.
