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[Our real enemies are the people who make us feel so good that we are slowly, but inexorably, pulled down ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13869]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our real enemies are the people who make us feel so good that we are slowly, but inexorably, pulled down into the quicksand of smugness and self-satisfaction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13869</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am as free as nature first made man, Ere the base laws of servitude began,  When wild in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16678]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am as free as nature first made man, Ere the base laws of servitude began,  When wild in woods the noble savage ran.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16678</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are three great friends: an old wife, an old dog, and ready money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16805]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are three great friends: an old wife, an old dog, and ready money.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16805</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This monument is dedicated to a man who loved his people.

From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,  Much pleasure, then from thee much more, must flow,  And soonest our best men with thee do go,  Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery. Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men, And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,  And poppy, or charms, can make us sleep as well,  And better than thy stroke. Why swell'st thou then? One short sleep past, we wake eternally,  And Death shall be no more: Death, thou shalt die.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8096</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48281]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is to be remarked that a good many people are born curiously unfitted for the fate waiting them on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27960]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is to be remarked that a good many people are born curiously unfitted for the fate waiting them on this earth. - Chance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27960</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's the way it has been all season long.
