Thus a good heart draws amendment from the sins of others, and is guarded from all harsh judgment and wrath, and preserves an even temper; while an evil heart puts the worst interpretation on all that it sees, and turns it to its own hurt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who is so deafe, as he that will not hear? [Who is so deaf as he that will not hear?] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18983]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who is so deafe, as he that will not hear? [Who is so deaf as he that will not hear?]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18983</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Higher education must lead the march back to the fundamentals of human relationships, to the old discovery that is ever ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13451]]></link><description><![CDATA[Higher education must lead the march back to the fundamentals of human relationships, to the old discovery that is ever new, that man does not live by bread alone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13451</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have never thought that you could obtain the extremely clumpy, heterogeneous universe we have today, strongly affected by plasma ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36278]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have never thought that you could obtain the extremely clumpy, heterogeneous universe we have today, strongly affected by plasma processes, from the smooth, homogeneous one of the Big Bang, dominated by gravitation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36278</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't get rid of poverty by giving people money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56157]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can't get rid of poverty by giving people money.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[diamonds shine more brightly foiled by black velvet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/723]]></link><description><![CDATA[diamonds shine more brightly foiled by black velvet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/723</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Praying without ceasing is not ritualized, nor are there even words.
