But surely a man's hunger does prove that he comes of a race which repairs its body by eating and inhabits a world where eatable substances exist. In the same way, though I do not believe (I wish I did) that my desire for Paradise proves that I shall enjoy it, I think it a pretty good indication that such a thing exists and that some men will. A man may love a woman and not win her; but it would be very odd if the phenomenon called `falling in love" occurred in a sexless world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This war has been motivated by pride or arrogance,by a desire to control oil wealth, bya desire to implant our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18299]]></link><description><![CDATA[This war has been motivated by pride or arrogance,by a desire to control oil wealth, bya desire to implant our programs.on the Diane Rehm Show.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18299</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have long since come to believe that people never mean half of what they say, and that it is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23469]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have long since come to believe that people never mean half of what they say, and that it is best to disregard their talk and judge only their actions]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23469</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've had a few arguments with people, but I never carry a grudge.
