These are commanders who have deserted their troops, and there is no more serious crime in the law of war. The Army says they never leave their wounded. The Marines say they never leave even their dead. These men have left all the casualties and retreated behind a pious shield of public rectitude. They have left the real stuff of their reputation bleaching behind them in the sun in this country.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can close your eyes to reality, but not to memories. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46331]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can close your eyes to reality, but not to memories.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46331</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who want to live, let them fight, and those who do not want to fight in this world of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15651]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who want to live, let them fight, and those who do not want to fight in this world of eternal struggle do not deserve to live.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perhaps our eyes need to be washed by our tears once in a while, so that we can see Life ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24812]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perhaps our eyes need to be washed by our tears once in a while, so that we can see Life with a clearer view again.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For old age is not honored for length of time, or measured by number of years;  but understanding is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61752]]></link><description><![CDATA[For old age is not honored for length of time, or measured by number of years;  but understanding is gray hair for anyone,   and a blameless life is ripe old age.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61752</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is very loving and a great companion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32552]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is very loving and a great companion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32552</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more I see of men, the more I admire dogs ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26990]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more I see of men, the more I admire dogs]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When May, with cowslip-braided locks, Walks through the land in green attire.  And burns in meadow-grass the phlox  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26624]]></link><description><![CDATA[When May, with cowslip-braided locks, Walks through the land in green attire.  And burns in meadow-grass the phlox   His torch of purple fire:    . . . .     And when the punctual May arrives,      With cowslip-garland on her brow,       We know what once she gave our lives,        And cannot give us now!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is much better to have your gold in the hand than in the heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9403]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is much better to have your gold in the hand than in the heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A pessimist is a man who thinks everybody is as nasty as himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46436]]></link><description><![CDATA[A pessimist is a man who thinks everybody is as nasty as himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you wish someone joy, you wish them peace,love, prosperity, happiness... all the good things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23398]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you wish someone joy, you wish them peace,love, prosperity, happiness... all the good things.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23398</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A substitute shines brightly as a king Until a king be by, and then his state  Empties itself, as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54512]]></link><description><![CDATA[A substitute shines brightly as a king Until a king be by, and then his state  Empties itself, as dot an inland brook   Into the main of waters.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54512</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No bird has ever uttered note  That was not in some first bird's throat;

What distinguishes the handling of these values in the churches is mainly the heavier dosage of religious vocabulary involved... Another way of putting this is to say that the churches operate with secular values while the secular institutions are permeated with religious terminology... An objective observer is hard put to tell the difference (at least in terms of values affirmed) between the church members and those who maintain an 'unchurched' status. Usually the most that can be said is that the church members hold the same values as everybody else, but with more emphatic solemnity. Thus, church membership in no way means adherence to a set of values at variance with those of the general society; rather, it means a stronger and more explicitly religious affirmation of the same values held by the community at large.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We cannot seek or attain health, wealth, learning, justice or kindness in general.
