But there was always some obstacle in the way. Something to be got through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. -Fr. Alfred D'Souza.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25014</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People compose for many reasons: to become immortal; because the pianoforte happens to be open; because they want to become ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9271]]></link><description><![CDATA[People compose for many reasons: to become immortal; because the pianoforte happens to be open; because they want to become a millionaire; because of the praise of friends; because they have looked into a pair of beautiful eyes; for no reason whatsoever.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9271</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many things happen between the cup and the lip. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15380]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many things happen between the cup and the lip.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15380</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Punctuality is the art of guessing how late the other fellow is going to be ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52526]]></link><description><![CDATA[Punctuality is the art of guessing how late the other fellow is going to be]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not a million miles away from rock and roll, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36656]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's not a million miles away from rock and roll,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36656</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O, my lord, You said that idle weeds are fast in growth:  The prince my brother hath outgrown me ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18402]]></link><description><![CDATA[O, my lord, You said that idle weeds are fast in growth:  The prince my brother hath outgrown me far.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18402</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If anything were FULLY explained, everything would be explained. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56970]]></link><description><![CDATA[If anything were FULLY explained, everything would be explained.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56970</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He deserves praise who does not what he may, but what he ought. [Lat., Id facere laus est quod decet, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48024]]></link><description><![CDATA[He deserves praise who does not what he may, but what he ought. [Lat., Id facere laus est quod decet, non quod licet.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48024</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I feel real good, not tired at all.

Thine I am, O spotless Lamb; I will suffer naught to hide Thee,  Ask for naught beside Thee. In Thine arm I rest me; foes who would molest me  Cannot reach me here. Though the earth be shaking, every heart be quaking,  God dispels our fear. Sin and hell in conflict fell With their heaviest storms assail us:  Jesus will not fail us. Hence, all thoughts of sadness! For the Lord of gladness,  Jesus, enters in: Those who love the Father, though the storms may gather,  Still have peace within; Yes, whate'er we here must bear, Still in Thee lies purest pleasure,  Jesus, priceless treasure!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it.

He desires his transcript to be faithful to the meaning of the original, so far as he can reach that meaning, and also to do some justice to its literary qualities. But he is well aware that his aim often exceeds his grasp. Translation may be a fascinating task, yet no discipline is more humbling. You may be translating oracles, but soon you learn the risk and folly of posing as an oracle yourself. If your readers are dissatisfied at any point, they may be sure that the translator is still more dissatisfied, if not there, then elsewhere -- all the more so, because, in the nature of the case, he has always to appear dogmatic in print.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not to alter one's faults is to be faulty indeed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22737]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not to alter one's faults is to be faulty indeed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22737</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Force rules the world, and not opinion; but opinion is that which makes use of force. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16446]]></link><description><![CDATA[Force rules the world, and not opinion; but opinion is that which makes use of force.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16446</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To have a liberal temperament is a kind of psychological boon, To be able to understand that someone you disagree ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58865]]></link><description><![CDATA[To have a liberal temperament is a kind of psychological boon, To be able to understand that someone you disagree with is not just a terrible creature but somebody with whom you disagree]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58865</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No great deed is done By falterers who ask for certainty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18252]]></link><description><![CDATA[No great deed is done By falterers who ask for certainty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18252</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Villain and he be many miles asunder. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60650]]></link><description><![CDATA[Villain and he be many miles asunder.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Michael had one of his best years in many ways, although the fumbles were a great negative to the team. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30752]]></link><description><![CDATA[Michael had one of his best years in many ways, although the fumbles were a great negative to the team.
