But this life is not a season to be always taking wages in; our work is not yet done; we are not always to abide in this mount; we must down again into the battle -- fight again, cry again, complain again. Shall the soul be thought now to have lost its assurance? Not at all. It had before assurance with joy, triumph, and exultation; it hath it now, or may have, with wrestling, cries, tears, and supplications. And a man's assurance may be as good, as true, when he lies on the earth with a sense of sin, as when he is carried up to the third heaven with a sense of love and foretaste of glory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ecstasy is not really part of the scene we can do on celluloid. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13349]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ecstasy is not really part of the scene we can do on celluloid.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13349</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I seek for one as fair and gay, But find none to remind me,  How blest the hours pass'd ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25607]]></link><description><![CDATA[I seek for one as fair and gay, But find none to remind me,  How blest the hours pass'd away   With the girl I left behind me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hearts that are delicate and kind, and tongues that are neither -- these makes the finest company in the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17897]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hearts that are delicate and kind, and tongues that are neither -- these makes the finest company in the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We bought a real beauty parlor, with dryers and functioning water, and the whole bit.

It is cantankerous, and it is independent. The idea of independence is the key. It really is like colonialism. The colonies suddenly decide that they can and should exist with their own personality and should detach from the control of the mother country. At first the colony is perceived as being treacherous. It's a betrayal. Ultimately, it can be seen as the separation of a partner that could be very valuable as an equal rather than as something you dominate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just as the felon condemn'd to die-- With a very natural loathing--  Leaving the sheriff to dream of ropes, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50161]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just as the felon condemn'd to die-- With a very natural loathing--  Leaving the sheriff to dream of ropes,   From his gloomy cell in a vision elopes,    To caper on sunny greens and slopes,     Instead of the dance upon nothing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50161</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To dismiss a guest is a more ungracious act than not to admit him at all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50793]]></link><description><![CDATA[To dismiss a guest is a more ungracious act than not to admit him at all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50793</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Swithun, Bishop of Winchester, c.862 Commemoration of Bonaventure, Franciscan Friar, Bishop, Peacemaker, 1274  It is necessary to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8455]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Swithun, Bishop of Winchester, c.862 Commemoration of Bonaventure, Franciscan Friar, Bishop, Peacemaker, 1274  It is necessary to die, but nobody wants to; you don't want to, but you are going to, willy-nilly. A hard necessity that is, not to want something which can not be avoided. If it could be managed, we would much rather not die; we would like to become like the angels by some other means than death. "We have a building from God," says St. Paul, "a home not made with hands, everlasting in heaven. For indeed we groan, longing to be clothed over with our dwelling from heaven; provided, though we be found clothed, and not naked. For indeed we who are in this dwelling place groan, being burdened; in that we do not wish to be stripped, but to covered over, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life." We want to reach the kingdom of God, but we don't want to travel by way of death. And yet there stands Necessity saying: "This way, please." Do you hesitate, man, to go this way, when this is the way that God came to you?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world is governed more by appearance than realities so that it is fully as necessary to seem to know ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56927]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world is governed more by appearance than realities so that it is fully as necessary to seem to know something as to know it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56927</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Idle rumors were also added to well-founded apprehensions. [Lat., Vana quoque ad veros accessit fama timores.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54552]]></link><description><![CDATA[Idle rumors were also added to well-founded apprehensions. [Lat., Vana quoque ad veros accessit fama timores.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever has fallen from his former high estate is in his calamity the scorn even of the base. [Lat., Quicumque ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42811]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whoever has fallen from his former high estate is in his calamity the scorn even of the base. [Lat., Quicumque amisit dignitatem pristinam  Ignavis etiam jocus est in casu gravi.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42811</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My tongue within my lips I rein: For who talks much must talk in vain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58610]]></link><description><![CDATA[My tongue within my lips I rein: For who talks much must talk in vain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pornography exists for the lonesome, the ugly, the fearful - It's made for the losers ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47731]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pornography exists for the lonesome, the ugly, the fearful - It's made for the losers]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stars are the daisies that begem The blue fields of the sky,  Beheld by all, and everywhere,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10994]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stars are the daisies that begem The blue fields of the sky,  Beheld by all, and everywhere,   Bright prototypes on high.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even if you are the most evil of all sinners, you will cross over allevil on the raft of knowledge. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22770]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even if you are the most evil of all sinners, you will cross over allevil on the raft of knowledge.
