That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds.

That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let a good person do good deeds with the same zeal that an evil person does bad ones. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62647]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let a good person do good deeds with the same zeal that an evil person does bad ones.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world will never starve for want of wonders, but for want of wonder. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61970]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world will never starve for want of wonders, but for want of wonder.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61970</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All things are subject to interpretation whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66270]]></link><description><![CDATA[All things are subject to interpretation whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33236]]></link><description><![CDATA[It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest.
