The real questions refuse to be placated. They barge into your life at the times when it seems most important for them to stay away. They are the questions asked most frequently and answered most inadequately, the ones that reveal their true natures slowly, reluctantly, most often against your will. -Ingrid Bengis.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are all in the same boat in a stormy sea, and we owe each other a terrible loyalty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25989]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are all in the same boat in a stormy sea, and we owe each other a terrible loyalty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25989</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hope is a waking dream. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19785]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hope is a waking dream.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19785</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And as, when all the summer trees are seen So bright and green,  The Holly leaves a sober hue ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19584]]></link><description><![CDATA[And as, when all the summer trees are seen So bright and green,  The Holly leaves a sober hue display   Less bright than they,    But when the bare and wintry woods we see,     What then so cheerful as the Holly-tree?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lot of mental health has to do with environment.

Or dare we do what our Lord did, and see the Name hallowed in all life that is real and honest and good? Indeed, it was a scandal to the religious men of Jesus' day when they saw what He did with sacred things. With Jesus all life was sacred and nothing was profane until sin entered in. And so it was that the word "common," which used to mean profane and unclean, became the New-Testament word for the Communion of Saints and for the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6484</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No doubt they rose up early to observe The rite of May; and, hearing our intent,  Came here in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26619]]></link><description><![CDATA[No doubt they rose up early to observe The rite of May; and, hearing our intent,  Came here in grace of our solemnity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Always remember this: 'A kiss will never miss, and after many kisses a miss becomes a misses'. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11102]]></link><description><![CDATA[Always remember this: 'A kiss will never miss, and after many kisses a miss becomes a misses'.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11102</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As to the pure mind all things are pure, so to the poetic mind all things are poetical. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64906]]></link><description><![CDATA[As to the pure mind all things are pure, so to the poetic mind all things are poetical.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64906</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So holy and so perfect is my love, And I in such a poverty of grace,  That I shall ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18766]]></link><description><![CDATA[So holy and so perfect is my love, And I in such a poverty of grace,  That I shall think it a most plenteous crop   To glean the broken ears after the man    That the main harvest reaps.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Well, I decided earlier this year that I would run for president, and obviously I needed something to run on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32241]]></link><description><![CDATA[Well, I decided earlier this year that I would run for president, and obviously I needed something to run on.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A real leader faces the music, even when he doesn't like the tune. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47282]]></link><description><![CDATA[A real leader faces the music, even when he doesn't like the tune.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47282</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's in the middle of the whole tour, so we'll get to go out and change it up a little ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37644]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's in the middle of the whole tour, so we'll get to go out and change it up a little bit.

The skeptical Greek philosopher may remind us that, after all, the image of Athena is only a symbol, only a means of fixing one's rambling thoughts upon the spirit that is Athena. Yet the idolater will persist in losing sight of the forest for the trees, and the god for the image. The gold and ivory statue of Athena becomes holy in itself, an answerer of prayer, a mysterious source of power, a material object somehow different from other objects. The crucifix, the plaster image, the saint's relic or miraculous medal or cheaply and illegibly printed Bible may become themselves things considered holy and magical, able to stop a bullet. Worse yet, the god confined in an image is a shrunken and powerless god. Because you have limited your concept of God to a man shape on a carved crucifix, you may be in danger of inferring that you are free to outrage the man shapes walking and breathing around you. Because you worship the god in a specially baked wafer and a specially designed chalice, you may forget to worship the God of all bread and all wine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Absence from those we love is self from self - a deadly banishment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/134]]></link><description><![CDATA[Absence from those we love is self from self - a deadly banishment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/134</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the posteriors of this day, which the rude multitude call the afternoon. -Love's Labour 's Lost.
