I remember you and recall you without effort, without exercise of will; that is, by natural impulse, indicated by a sense of duty, or of obligation. And that, I take it, is the only sort of remembering worth the having. When we think of friends, and call their faces out of the shadows, and their voices out of the echoes that faint along the corridors of memory, and do it without knowing why save that we love to do it, we content ourselves that friendship is a Reality, and not a Fancy -- that it is built upon a rock, and not upon the sands that dissolve away with the ebbing tides and carry their monuments with them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16776</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better the feet slip then the tongue. [Better the feet slip than the tongue.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59480]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better the feet slip then the tongue. [Better the feet slip than the tongue.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59480</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jealousy would be far less torturous if we understood that love is a passion entirely unrelated to our merits. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45640]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jealousy would be far less torturous if we understood that love is a passion entirely unrelated to our merits.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45640</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are a lot of options out there that advertisers now have besides the 30-second commercial on network television, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30403]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are a lot of options out there that advertisers now have besides the 30-second commercial on network television,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.

I am referring to the almost total ignorance of the content and implication of the Christian Faith shown by many "clever" people today. Frankly, I find it horrifying to discover that men who are experts in their own line -- in astronomy, genetics, or nuclear physics, for example -- have no adult knowledge of what the Church of Christ stands for, and a complete blank ignorance of what the Church is achieving today. It is the more horrifying because people who rightly respect the expert for his knowledge in his own field have no idea that he has not carefully examined and reluctantly discarded Christianity; but in all probability he has never studied it at all!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have to find out what's right for you, so it's trial and error.

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[I don't see that conversation going that way at this point. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37692]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't see that conversation going that way at this point.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We learn nothing from history except that we learn nothing from history. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19353]]></link><description><![CDATA[We learn nothing from history except that we learn nothing from history.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A terrorist who wants to do great damage will therefore not find anything in the article that is likely to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30737]]></link><description><![CDATA[A terrorist who wants to do great damage will therefore not find anything in the article that is likely to increase his or her certainty concerning the minimum level of toxin to use,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30737</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And ye shall know the truth,and the truth shall make you free. -John VII. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59846]]></link><description><![CDATA[And ye shall know the truth,and the truth shall make you free. -John VII.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59846</guid></item></channel></rss>
