We have probably all done this as children. But the state of mind which desperate desire working on a strong imagination can manufacture is not faith in the Christian sense. It is a feat of psychological gymnastics.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8522</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Joy is but the sign that creative emotion is fulfilling its purpose. - What Is Literature? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10589]]></link><description><![CDATA[Joy is but the sign that creative emotion is fulfilling its purpose. - What Is Literature?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10589</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63970]]></link><description><![CDATA[We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63970</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It just goes to show you that anything that looks out of the ordinary is going to strike fear in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31014]]></link><description><![CDATA[It just goes to show you that anything that looks out of the ordinary is going to strike fear in people now.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31014</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am nothing and to nothing tend, On earth I nothing have and nothing claim,  Man's noblest works must ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62137]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am nothing and to nothing tend, On earth I nothing have and nothing claim,  Man's noblest works must have one common end,   And nothing crown the tablet of his name.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A comfortable house is a great source of happiness.

The difference between sex and death is that with death you can do it alone and no one is going to make fun of you. •Woody Allen  At the end of the game the king and the pawn go back in the same box. •Italian Proverb  Life is a great surprise. I don't see why death should not be an even greater one. •Vladimir Nabokov  Dear World, I am leaving because I am bored. I feel I have lived long enough. I am leaving you with your worries in this sweet cesspool. Good luck. •George Sanders, his suicide note  There is no cure for birth and death save to enjoy the interval. •Santayana  Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh. •George Bernard Shaw  Do not go gentle into that good night. Old age should burn and rave at close of day. Rage, rage against the dying of the light. •Dylan Thomas  To live is to dream and to die is to awaken. •Anonymous   We sometimes congratulate ourselves at the moment of waking from a troubled dream; it may be so at the moment after death. •Nathaniel Hawthorne  All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another. •Anatole France   We are bound to our bodies like an oyster is to its shell. •Plato   Dying is like getting out of a car. You leave a shell behind, but you're the same person as ever. •President Klein  The mark of your ignorance is the depth of your belief in injustice and tragedy . What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly. •Richard Bach  If there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life. •Albert Camus   We do not know what to do with this short life, yet we yearn for another that will be eternal. •Anatole France  I'm the one who has to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life, the way I want to. •Jimi Hendrix  The real malady is fear of life, not of death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Repentance is not so much remorse for what we have done as the fear of the consequences. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2838]]></link><description><![CDATA[Repentance is not so much remorse for what we have done as the fear of the consequences.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One person with a belief is equal to a force of ninety-nine who haveonly interest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21321]]></link><description><![CDATA[One person with a belief is equal to a force of ninety-nine who haveonly interest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21321</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Judge not a man by his clothes, but by his wife's clothes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2833]]></link><description><![CDATA[Judge not a man by his clothes, but by his wife's clothes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A well-bred youth neither speakes of himselfe, nor being spoken to is silent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49083]]></link><description><![CDATA[A well-bred youth neither speakes of himselfe, nor being spoken to is silent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49083</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Genius is patience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27895]]></link><description><![CDATA[Genius is patience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They know no country, own no lord, Their home the camp, their law the sword. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45806]]></link><description><![CDATA[They know no country, own no lord, Their home the camp, their law the sword.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45806</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The vote is the most powerful instrument ever devised by man for breaking down injustice and destroying the terrible walls ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60996]]></link><description><![CDATA[The vote is the most powerful instrument ever devised by man for breaking down injustice and destroying the terrible walls which imprison men because they are different from other men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Monica: I got a leg, three breasts, and a wing.
