But there in hell--that is, beyond a fixed boundary set by God--all the securities and safeguards disappear into thin air. What here is only a tiny flame of secret self-reproach that flickers up occasionally and is quickly smothered, there becomes a scorching fire. What here is no more than a slight ticking sound in our conscience suddenly becomes the trumpet tone of judgment which can no longer be ignored. Lazarus is permitted to see what he believed, but the rich man is compelled to see what he did not believe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A "good" family, it seems, is one that used to be better. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32018]]></link><description><![CDATA[A "good" family, it seems, is one that used to be better.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32018</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For courage mounteth with occasion. -King John.

It is where people of different traditions, outlook and creeds mingle freely and exchange ideas that religious beliefs begin to be eroded. No one changes his beliefs without some instigation, some novel experience, some modification of the customary course of things, and in a closed society people believe what all their fellows obviously believe. Only when they are brought into contact with persons whom they respect holding different views do they begin to look at their inherited beliefs critically.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learn to laugh at your troubles and you'll never run out of things to laugh at ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24512]]></link><description><![CDATA[Learn to laugh at your troubles and you'll never run out of things to laugh at]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24512</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What men prize most is a privilege, even if it be that of chief mourner at a funeral. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52960]]></link><description><![CDATA[What men prize most is a privilege, even if it be that of chief mourner at a funeral.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52960</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reality is something you rise above. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53062]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reality is something you rise above.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53062</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When age chills the blood, when our pleasures are past-- For years fleet away with the wings of the dove-- ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23825]]></link><description><![CDATA[When age chills the blood, when our pleasures are past-- For years fleet away with the wings of the dove--  The dearest remembrance will still be the last,   Our sweetest memorial the first kiss of love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23825</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And if I laugh at any mortal thing, 'Tis that I may not weep. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24221]]></link><description><![CDATA[And if I laugh at any mortal thing, 'Tis that I may not weep.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24221</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'ld charm her with the magic of a switch. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48695]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'ld charm her with the magic of a switch.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There was no fire.
