Those amorous thoughts which were so lightly dressed,  What are they when the double death is nigh?  The one I know for sure, the other dread. Painting nor sculpture now can lull to rest  My soul that turns to His great love on high,  Whose arms to clasp us on the cross were spread.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6544</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Accident is the name of the greatest of all inventors. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/304]]></link><description><![CDATA[Accident is the name of the greatest of all inventors.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/304</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conversation makes one what he is. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49181]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conversation makes one what he is.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49181</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Open confession is good for the soul ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9642]]></link><description><![CDATA[Open confession is good for the soul]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9642</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sweetest honey Is loathsome in his own deliciousness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2908]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sweetest honey Is loathsome in his own deliciousness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2908</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Joy's smile is much closer to tears than laughter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64658]]></link><description><![CDATA[Joy's smile is much closer to tears than laughter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The pen wherewith thou dost so heavenly sing Made of a quill from an angel's wing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46016]]></link><description><![CDATA[The pen wherewith thou dost so heavenly sing Made of a quill from an angel's wing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46016</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men fear death, as if unquestionably the greatest evil, and yet no man knows that it may not be the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11208]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men fear death, as if unquestionably the greatest evil, and yet no man knows that it may not be the greatest good.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11208</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man has received direct from God only one instrument wherewith to know himself and to know his relation to the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53135]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man has received direct from God only one instrument wherewith to know himself and to know his relation to the universe--he has no other--and that instrument is reason.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever plays the best defense is going to win this league.
