We will have such-a-one, for he sings prettily; we will invite such-a-one to a ball, for he dances well; we will have such-a-one at supper, for he is always joking and laughing; we will ask another because he plays deep at all games, or because he can drink a great deal. These are all vilifying distinctions, mortifying preferences, and exclude all ideas of esteem and regard. Whoever is had (as it is called) in company for the sake of any one thing singly, is singly that thing, and will never be considered in any other light; consequently never respected, let his merits be what they will.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Defeat never comes to any man until he admits it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11806]]></link><description><![CDATA[Defeat never comes to any man until he admits it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11806</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But 'twas a maxim he had often tried, That right was right, and there he would abide. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54241]]></link><description><![CDATA[But 'twas a maxim he had often tried, That right was right, and there he would abide.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The moment you say 'I know everything' is the end of your growth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3589]]></link><description><![CDATA[The moment you say 'I know everything' is the end of your growth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3589</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friendship! mysterious cement of the soul, Sweet'ner of life, and solder of society. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16861]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friendship! mysterious cement of the soul, Sweet'ner of life, and solder of society.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16861</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing that is worth knowing can be taught. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13359]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the first competitive grant cycle where organizations had the opportunity to apply for grant funding.

The Hare, believing her assertion to be simply impossible, assented to the proposal; and they agreed that the Fox should choose the course and fix the goal. On the day appointed for the race the two started together. The Tortoise never for a moment stopped, but went on with a slow but steady pace straight to the end of the course. The Hare, lying down by the wayside, fell fast asleep. At last waking up, and moving as fast as he could, he saw the Tortoise had reached the goal, and was comfortably dozing after her fatigue. Slow but steady wins the race.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Electric telegraphs, printing, gas, Tobacco, balloons, and steam,  Are little events that have come to pass   Since ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23008]]></link><description><![CDATA[Electric telegraphs, printing, gas, Tobacco, balloons, and steam,  Are little events that have come to pass   Since the days of the old regime.    And, spite of Lempriere's dazzling page,     I'd give--though it might seem bold--      A hundred years of the Golden Age       For a year of the Age of Gold.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23008</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the hardest things in life is watching the person you love, love someone else. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12252]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the hardest things in life is watching the person you love, love someone else.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12252</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That man is worthless who knows how to receive a favor, but not how to return one. [Lat., Nam improbus ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15480]]></link><description><![CDATA[That man is worthless who knows how to receive a favor, but not how to return one. [Lat., Nam improbus est homo qui beneficium scit sumere et reddere nescit.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15480</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Warms in the sun, refreshes in the breeze, Glows in the stars, and blossoms in the trees. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51931]]></link><description><![CDATA[Warms in the sun, refreshes in the breeze, Glows in the stars, and blossoms in the trees.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In trying to be concise I become obscure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50278]]></link><description><![CDATA[In trying to be concise I become obscure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50278</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If there are multiple complaints, then my suspicion would be somewhere between the refinery and the tank, the blend encountered ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33796]]></link><description><![CDATA[If there are multiple complaints, then my suspicion would be somewhere between the refinery and the tank, the blend encountered water.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Persuasion is better than force. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46412]]></link><description><![CDATA[Persuasion is better than force.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46412</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The miser is as much in want of what he has, as of what he has not. [Lat., Tam deest ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42746]]></link><description><![CDATA[The miser is as much in want of what he has, as of what he has not. [Lat., Tam deest avaro quod habet, quam quod non habet.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In addition, it has been less successful than we had hoped in selling consumer electronics in its mall stores. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30436]]></link><description><![CDATA[In addition, it has been less successful than we had hoped in selling consumer electronics in its mall stores.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When danger approaches, sing to it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29551]]></link><description><![CDATA[When danger approaches, sing to it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's going to take awhile, I know.
