When there are questions to be feared and eyes to be avoided and subjects which must not be touched, the bloom of life is gone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7822</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody is forgotten when it is convenient to remember him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16470]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nobody is forgotten when it is convenient to remember him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16470</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54972]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54972</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men are blind in their own cause. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5365]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men are blind in their own cause.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ericsson said orders as a whole remain strong, but it is just seeing a push out in most mobile system ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28428]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ericsson said orders as a whole remain strong, but it is just seeing a push out in most mobile system shipments due to economic uncertainty as well as slower subscriber growth in the U.S. as subsidies have been cut.

Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23381</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Two may talk together under the same roof for many years, yet never really meet; and two others at first ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16868]]></link><description><![CDATA[Two may talk together under the same roof for many years, yet never really meet; and two others at first speech are old friends.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to this folly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48667]]></link><description><![CDATA[As dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to this folly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48667</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would prefer even to fail with honor than to win by cheating ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5811]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would prefer even to fail with honor than to win by cheating]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5811</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Clement, Bishop of Rome, Martyr, c.100   What exactly has Christ done for you?

What is there in your life that needs Christ to explain it, and that, apart from Him, simply could not have been there at all? If there is nothing, then your religion is a sheer futility. But then that is your fault, not Jesus Christ's. For, when we open the New Testament, it is to come upon whole companies of excited people, their faces all aglow, their hearts dazed and bewildered by the immensity of their own good fortune. Apparently they find it difficult to think of anything but this amazing happening that has befallen them; quite certainly they cannot keep from laying almost violent hands on every chance passer-by, and pouring out yet once again the whole astounding story. And always, as we listen, they keep throwing up their hands as if in sheer despair, telling us it is hopeless, that it breaks through language, that it won't describe, that until a man has known Christ for himself he can have no idea of the enormous difference He makes. It is as when a woman gives a man her heart; or when a little one is born to very you; or when, after long lean years of pain and greyness, health comes back. You cannot really describe that; you cannot put it into words, not adequately. Only, the whole world is different, and life gloriously new. Well, it is like that, they say.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43350]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A nail is driven out by another nail, habit is overcome by habit. [Lat., Clavus clavo pellitur, consuetudo consuetudine vincitur.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18520]]></link><description><![CDATA[A nail is driven out by another nail, habit is overcome by habit. [Lat., Clavus clavo pellitur, consuetudo consuetudine vincitur.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25415]]></link><description><![CDATA[To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25415</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have a spelling checkerIt came with my PC;It plainly marks four my revueMistakes I cannot sea.I've run this poem ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9439]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have a spelling checkerIt came with my PC;It plainly marks four my revueMistakes I cannot sea.I've run this poem threw it,I'm sure your pleased too no,Its letter perfect in it's weigh,My checker tolled me sew.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9439</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything in excess is opposed to nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14444]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything in excess is opposed to nature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14444</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nature has been for me, for as long as I remember, a source of solace, inspiration, adventure, and delight; a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43806]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nature has been for me, for as long as I remember, a source of solace, inspiration, adventure, and delight; a home, a teacher, a companion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43806</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The essential conditions of everything you do must be choice, love,passion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21484]]></link><description><![CDATA[The essential conditions of everything you do must be choice, love,passion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21484</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18078]]></link><description><![CDATA[Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18078</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Destiny has two ways of crushing us -- by refusing our wishes and by fulfilling them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15395]]></link><description><![CDATA[Destiny has two ways of crushing us -- by refusing our wishes and by fulfilling them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15395</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Osmund, Bishop of Salisbury, 1099   Apart from God every activity is merely a passing whiff of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7875]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Osmund, Bishop of Salisbury, 1099   Apart from God every activity is merely a passing whiff of insignificance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7875</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poor souls are apt to think that all those whom they read of or hear of to be gone to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7123]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poor souls are apt to think that all those whom they read of or hear of to be gone to heaven, went thither because they were so good and so holy...
