Withstand thy will at the beginning, and unlearn an evil habit, lest it lead thee little by little into worse difficulties. Oh, if thou knewest what peace to thyself thy holy life should bring, ... and what joy to others, methinketh thou wouldst be more zealous for spiritual profit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hindsight is always twenty-twenty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19280]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hindsight is always twenty-twenty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19280</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I truly believe that before I retire from public office, I'll be voting for a woman for president. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61021]]></link><description><![CDATA[I truly believe that before I retire from public office, I'll be voting for a woman for president.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A sad thing in life is that sometimes you meet someone who means a lot to you only to find ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53259]]></link><description><![CDATA[A sad thing in life is that sometimes you meet someone who means a lot to you only to find out in the end that it was never bound to be and you just have to let go.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53259</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a scientific fact that your body will not absorb cholesterol if you take it from another person's plate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54791]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a scientific fact that your body will not absorb cholesterol if you take it from another person's plate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are three things men can do with women: love them, suffer for them, or turn them into literature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27316]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are three things men can do with women: love them, suffer for them, or turn them into literature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27316</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[REPENTANCE, n.

Or recall the infinite pains that have been taken, down the centuries, to preserve minute orthodoxy in all points of mental belief while ugly evils flaunt along the streets and are accepted meekly as part of the makeup of things! Or recollect how easy it is to assume that we, ourselves, are Christian people. Why? Oh, well, just the usual reasons: we say our prayers, when we are not too sleepy; and we come to church, when there is nothing much to do; and so, of course, there is no doubt of it, although our tempers may remain uncurbed, and our characters are not the least like Jesus Christ's, nor growing any nearer it! Do we not need that solemn warning that Christ gives us when He tells us bluntly that many people lose their lives and souls, because they are always laying the emphasis and stress on the wrong points?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The opera ain't over till the fat lady sings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59319]]></link><description><![CDATA[The opera ain't over till the fat lady sings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What are our lame praises in comparison with His love?
