But if these holy places, things, and days cease to remind us, if they obliterate our awareness that all ground is holy and every bush (could we but perceive it) a Burning Bush, then the hallows begin to do harm. Hence both the necessity, and the perennial danger, of "religion".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If fooles should not foole it, they shall lose their season. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49509]]></link><description><![CDATA[If fooles should not foole it, they shall lose their season.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sinews of business (or state). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42951]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sinews of business (or state).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bless God, America. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6808]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bless God, America.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6808</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are two things no man will admit he cannot do well: drive and make love ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27015]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are two things no man will admit he cannot do well: drive and make love]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27015</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man's got to take a lot of punishment to write a really funny book. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63427]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man's got to take a lot of punishment to write a really funny book.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything in life is connected somehow.

You may have to dig deep to find it but its there. Everything is the same even though its different. Somehow everything connects back with your life. The faces in certain places may be different, but the situation is the same. Irony is a hidden factor that creeps around us in life, letting its presence felt only after it has left. Picture back to a year ago and the situation you were in. Look at how things are different yet somehow everything it still in someway cognate. Everything connects together to form the balance of life, to maintain structure. Change is and always will be inevitable, but everything is relative, and all the moments and times in your life will come back around again, you just might find yourself on the other side of the coin. Things are always changing, as fast as everything stays the same.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sure, we got a couple lucky bounces at the end of the game, but we had to put ourselves in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38258]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sure, we got a couple lucky bounces at the end of the game, but we had to put ourselves in a position to take advantage of them.
