For this reason, the kind of peace that makes progress possible is best assured by the mutual checks created by a balance of forces- alike in the sphere of internal politics and of international relations.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Up to now I've done everything I've wanted to do the way I wanted to do myself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36362]]></link><description><![CDATA[Up to now I've done everything I've wanted to do the way I wanted to do myself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36362</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Though good faith should be banished from the rest of the world, it should be found in the mouths of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54473]]></link><description><![CDATA[Though good faith should be banished from the rest of the world, it should be found in the mouths of kings. [Fr., Si la bonne foi etait bannie du reste du monde, il faudrait qu'on la trouvat dans la bouche des rois.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54473</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Football players, like prostitutes, are in the business of ruining their bodies for the pleasure of strangers ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16400]]></link><description><![CDATA[Football players, like prostitutes, are in the business of ruining their bodies for the pleasure of strangers]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage. -Anais Nin. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10358]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage. -Anais Nin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world is not divine sport, it is divine destiny.
