The idea is laughable. The Devil, on the other hand, laughs with demonic mirth, is possessed of a sardonic wit, and his eyes hold a glint of wicked bemusement. The farthest God, in his popular image, ever strays from sobriety is a beneficent smile. Satan sniggers with fiendish scorn at God, who sits in his ivory tower emitting nary a chuckle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unbounded morality ultimately becomes counterproductive even in terms of the same moral principles being sought.

You may have to dig deep to find it but its there. Everything is the same even though its different. Somehow everything connects back with your life. The faces in certain places may be different, but the situation is the same. Irony is a hidden factor that creeps around us in life, letting its presence felt only after it has left. Picture back to a year ago and the situation you were in. Look at how things are different yet somehow everything it still in someway cognate. Everything connects together to form the balance of life, to maintain structure. Change is and always will be inevitable, but everything is relative, and all the moments and times in your life will come back around again, you just might find yourself on the other side of the coin. Things are always changing, as fast as everything stays the same.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whether the weather be fine, Whether the weather be not, Whether the weather be cold, Whether the weather be hot, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61479]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whether the weather be fine, Whether the weather be not, Whether the weather be cold, Whether the weather be hot, We'll weather the weather, Whatever the whether, Whether we like it or not]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61479</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you haven't got the time to do it right, when will you find the time to do it over? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14521]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you haven't got the time to do it right, when will you find the time to do it over?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Reverend are ever before. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49907]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Reverend are ever before.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66524]]></link><description><![CDATA[As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think we had more energy than them throughout the night, ...

But let me tell you that herein you put an extremely difficult task upon us, in expecting that we should pour wine and oil into the wound before it be searched, and speak smooth and comfortable things to a man that is but just brought to a sense of the long course of a lewd and wicked life impenitently continued in. Alas! what comfort can we give to men in such a case? We are loth to drive them to despair; and yet we must not destroy them by presumption; pity and good nature do strongly tempt us to make the best of their case and to give them all the little hopes which with any kind of reason we can --and God knows it is but very little that we can give to such persons upon good ground, for it all depends upon the degree and sincerity of their repentance, which God only knows, and we can but guess at.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For me, insanity is super sanity.
