No eye hath seen such scarecrows. I 'll not march through Coventry with them, that 's flat: nay, and the villains march wide betwixt the legs, as if they had gyves on; for indeed I had the most of them out of prison. There 's but a shirt and a half in all my company; and the half-shirt is two napkins tacked together and thrown over the shoulders like an herald's coat without sleeves. -King Henry IV. Part I.

For instance, let's say you're an astronaught on the moon and you fear that your partner has been turned into Dracula. The next time he goes out for the moon pieces, wham!, you just slam the door behind him and blast off. He might call you on the radio and say he's not Dracula, but you just say, "Think again, bat man.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11764</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once he saw a youth blushing, and addressed him, "Courage, my boy; that is the complexion of virtue." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4377]]></link><description><![CDATA[Once he saw a youth blushing, and addressed him, "Courage, my boy; that is the complexion of virtue."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4377</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The pretty Lark, climbing the Welkin cleer, Chaunts with a cheer, Heer peer-I neer my Deer;  Then stooping thence ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24093]]></link><description><![CDATA[The pretty Lark, climbing the Welkin cleer, Chaunts with a cheer, Heer peer-I neer my Deer;  Then stooping thence (seeming her fall to rew)   Adieu (she saith) adieu, deer Deer, adieu.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24093</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man who waits to believe in action before acting is anything you like, but he's not a man of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/513]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man who waits to believe in action before acting is anything you like, but he's not a man of action..

Have Hope. Though clouds environ round,  And gladness hides her face in scorn,  Put off the shadow from thy brow:  No night but hath its morn. Have Faith. Where'er thy bark is driven -  The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth - Know this: God rules the hosts of heaven,  The inhabitants of earth. Have Love. Not love alone for one,  But man, as man, thy brother call;  And scatter, like a circling sun,  Thy charities on all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you reflect on Sept. 11 and the tragedy of that day, one of the things that came out of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39887]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you reflect on Sept. 11 and the tragedy of that day, one of the things that came out of that was the goodness of humanity,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39887</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tact is the ability to describe others as they see themselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1015]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tact is the ability to describe others as they see themselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1015</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nature made him, and then broke the mold. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41133]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nature made him, and then broke the mold.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41133</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The forecasts are optimistic.

People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Practical prayer is harder on the soles of your shoes than on the knees of your trousers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53608]]></link><description><![CDATA[Practical prayer is harder on the soles of your shoes than on the knees of your trousers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53608</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O Popular Applause! what heart of man Is proof against thy sweet, seducing charms? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2921]]></link><description><![CDATA[O Popular Applause! what heart of man Is proof against thy sweet, seducing charms?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Until you make peace with who you are, you'll never be content with what you have. -Doris Mortman. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4028]]></link><description><![CDATA[Until you make peace with who you are, you'll never be content with what you have. -Doris Mortman.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of all the home remedies, a good wife is best. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61565]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of all the home remedies, a good wife is best.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61565</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Consider the postage stamp, my son.
