That first foretaste satisfies us. And so we camp for life out on the confines of the Kingdom, and never press on to inherit what is there and meant for us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A nightingale dies for shame if another bird sings better. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56125]]></link><description><![CDATA[A nightingale dies for shame if another bird sings better.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56125</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A friend is a second self. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16855]]></link><description><![CDATA[A friend is a second self.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16855</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most people get a fair amount of fun out of their lives, but on balance life is suffering, and only ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25021]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most people get a fair amount of fun out of their lives, but on balance life is suffering, and only the very sound or the very foolish imagine otherwise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In God, we live every commonplace as well as the most exalted moment of our being.
