What dreadful noise of waters in mine ears! What ugly sights of death within mine eyes! Methought I saw a thousand fearful wrecks, Ten thousand men that fishes gnawed upon, Wedges of gold, great anchors, heaps of pearl, Inestimable stones, unvalued jewels, All scattered in the bottom of the sea: Some lay in dead men's skulls; and in those holes Where eyes did once inhabit, there were crept, As 't were in scorn of eyes, reflecting gems. -King Richard III. Act i. Sc. 4.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56004</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Judge of a tree by its fruit, not by its leaves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50841]]></link><description><![CDATA[Judge of a tree by its fruit, not by its leaves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50841</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only little people pay taxes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15790]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only little people pay taxes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15790</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time goes, you say?

There is no other means to safeguard a propitious development of human affairs than to make the masses of inferior people adopt the ideas of the elite. This has to be achieved by convincing them. It cannot be accomplished by a despotic regime that instead of enlightening the masses beats them into submission. In the long run the ideas of the majority, however detrimental they may be, will carry on. The future of mankind depends on the ability of the elite to influence public opinion in the right direction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The coward calls the brave man rash, the rash man calls him a coward. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4867]]></link><description><![CDATA[The coward calls the brave man rash, the rash man calls him a coward.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So when you are listening to somebody, completely, attentively, then you are listening not only to the words, but also ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3429]]></link><description><![CDATA[So when you are listening to somebody, completely, attentively, then you are listening not only to the words, but also to the feeling of what is being conveyed, to the whole of it, not part of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I actually think sadness and darkness can be very beautiful and healing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65124]]></link><description><![CDATA[I actually think sadness and darkness can be very beautiful and healing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65124</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some people go to priests; others to poetry; I to my friends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10931]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some people go to priests; others to poetry; I to my friends.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An inordinate passion for pleasure is the secret of remaining young ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62524]]></link><description><![CDATA[An inordinate passion for pleasure is the secret of remaining young]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Needle in a bottle of hay. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48543]]></link><description><![CDATA[Needle in a bottle of hay.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48543</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But I did that, and I created another blues scene, another something I can sing about. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41178]]></link><description><![CDATA[But I did that, and I created another blues scene, another something I can sing about.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41178</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One stops being a child when one realizes that telling one's trouble does not make it better. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26586]]></link><description><![CDATA[One stops being a child when one realizes that telling one's trouble does not make it better.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26586</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't think any of the firefighters keep this job just for the pay.
