Similarly, I have confessed ghastly uncharities with less reluctance than small unmentionables -- or those sins which happen to be ungentlemanly as well as unchristian. Our emotional reactions to our own behaviour are of limited ethical significance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Since ancient Time began, Ever on some great soul God laid an infinite burden--  The weight of all this ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61244]]></link><description><![CDATA[Since ancient Time began, Ever on some great soul God laid an infinite burden--  The weight of all this world, the hopes of man,   Conflict and pain, and fame immortal are his guerdon.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61244</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I want there to be no peasant in my kingdom so poor that he cannot have a chicken in his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1261]]></link><description><![CDATA[I want there to be no peasant in my kingdom so poor that he cannot have a chicken in his pot every Sunday.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You don't take a chance on infecting another team. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33298]]></link><description><![CDATA[You don't take a chance on infecting another team.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You walk over red-hot lava hidden beneath treacherous ashes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50402]]></link><description><![CDATA[You walk over red-hot lava hidden beneath treacherous ashes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50402</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The happiest business in all the world is that of making friends, And no investment on the street pays larger ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17004]]></link><description><![CDATA[The happiest business in all the world is that of making friends, And no investment on the street pays larger dividends, For life is more than stocks and bonds, and love than rate percent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17004</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before.
