Then everybody would leave the Cricket Boy alone, and I'd invite him over to spend the night at my house, but after about five minutes of that loud chirping I'd have to kick him out. Maybe later we could get up a petition to get the Cricket Family run out of town. Bye, Cricket Boy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am gradually approaching the period in my life when work comes first. . . .

The intellectual heritage of the race belongs to the minority, and to the minority only. The majority has no more to do with it than it has to do with ecclesiastic politics on Mars. In so far as that heritage is apprehended, it is viewed with enmity. But in the main it is not apprehended at all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52198</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Peter Chanel, Religious, Missionary in the South Pacific, Martyr, 1841  Tell God all that is in your ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6455]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Peter Chanel, Religious, Missionary in the South Pacific, Martyr, 1841  Tell God all that is in your heart, as one unloads one's heart, its pleasures and its pains, to a dear friend. Tell Him your troubles, that He may comfort you; tell Him your joys, that He may sober them; tell Him your longings, that He may purify them; tell Him your dislikes, that He may help you conquer them; talk to Him of your temptations, that He may shield you from them: show Him the wounds of your heart, that He may heal them; lay bare your indifference to good, your depraved tastes for evil, your instability. Tell Him how self-love makes you unjust to others, how vanity tempts you to be insincere, how pride disguises you to yourself and others.  If you thus pour out all your weaknesses, needs, troubles, there will be no lack of what to say. You will never exhaust the subject. It is continually being renewed. People who have no secrets from each other never want for subjects of conversation. They do not weigh their words, for there is nothing to be held back; neither do they seek for something to say. They talk out of the abundance of the heart, without consideration they say just what they think. Blessed are they who attain to such familiar, unreserved intercourse with God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let justice be done, though the heavens fall. [Lat., Fiat justitia, ruat coelum.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51849]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let justice be done, though the heavens fall. [Lat., Fiat justitia, ruat coelum.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All parties without exception, when they seek for power, are varieties of absolutism. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45587]]></link><description><![CDATA[All parties without exception, when they seek for power, are varieties of absolutism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perseverance is more prevailing than violence; and many things which cannot be overcome when they are together yield themselves up ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46192]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perseverance is more prevailing than violence; and many things which cannot be overcome when they are together yield themselves up when taken little by little.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46192</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't see this development as a government crisis.
