And if you do believe them, must you not put away from you, utterly and forever, any hope of dating that return?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yes, I had two strings to my bow; both golden ones, egad! and both cracked. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51969]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yes, I had two strings to my bow; both golden ones, egad! and both cracked.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51969</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are thousands of different card products, some are offered with low interest rates, some are offered with no fees, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40000]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are thousands of different card products, some are offered with low interest rates, some are offered with no fees, some are offered with a cash rebate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Truth...never comes into the world but like a Bastard, to the ignominy of him that brought her forth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52175]]></link><description><![CDATA[Truth...never comes into the world but like a Bastard, to the ignominy of him that brought her forth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52175</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Enthusiasm is the leaping lightning, not to be measured by the horse- power of the understanding. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13977]]></link><description><![CDATA[Enthusiasm is the leaping lightning, not to be measured by the horse- power of the understanding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13977</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A buddy of mine, [Atlanta rookie] Jeff Francoeur, when he hit his first home run, I saw them give him ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30634]]></link><description><![CDATA[A buddy of mine, [Atlanta rookie] Jeff Francoeur, when he hit his first home run, I saw them give him the silent treatment and ignore him.
