So I said, heck, this is crazy! Now I crank out crude imitations of what's already popular! It takes no time or thought, and most people don't care about the difference, anyway! And what good is originality if you can't crank it out?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fortune favors the bold, but abandons the timid. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4471]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fortune favors the bold, but abandons the timid.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4471</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hail to thee, far above the rest In joy of voice and pinion!  Thou, linnet! in thy green array, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25143]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hail to thee, far above the rest In joy of voice and pinion!  Thou, linnet! in thy green array,   Presiding spirit here to-day,    Dost lead the revels of the May;     And this is thy dominion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25143</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In principle, there are no problems. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28337]]></link><description><![CDATA[In principle, there are no problems.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The bowl dispels corroding cares. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50332]]></link><description><![CDATA[The bowl dispels corroding cares.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50332</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Present fears Are less than horrible imaginings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51377]]></link><description><![CDATA[Present fears Are less than horrible imaginings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51377</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If your head is wax, don't walk in the sun. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48971]]></link><description><![CDATA[If your head is wax, don't walk in the sun.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48971</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some desire is necessary to keep life in motion, and he whose real wants are supplied must admit those of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11977]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some desire is necessary to keep life in motion, and he whose real wants are supplied must admit those of fancy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11977</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time Bomb. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33191]]></link><description><![CDATA[Time Bomb.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61158]]></link><description><![CDATA[And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61158</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Directors and producers were afraid of a Dumont actor while at the same time they admired him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40638]]></link><description><![CDATA[Directors and producers were afraid of a Dumont actor while at the same time they admired him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40638</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Intellectual brilliance is no guaranty against being dead wrong. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27643]]></link><description><![CDATA[Intellectual brilliance is no guaranty against being dead wrong.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27643</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It destroys one's nerves to be amiable everyday to the same human being. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16817]]></link><description><![CDATA[It destroys one's nerves to be amiable everyday to the same human being.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16817</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every decision is liberating, even if it leads to disaster.

For that life is won only from death and the good only from the evil is a piece of thoroughly worldly knowledge which is not strange to the Christian. But all this has nothing to do with the temptation of which Christ speaks. It simply does not touch the reality which is meant here. The temptation of which the whole Bible speaks does not have to do with the testing of my strength, for it is of the very essence of temptation in the Bible that all my strength -- to my horror, and without my being able to do anything about it -- is turned against me; really all my powers, including my good and pious powers (the strength of my faith), fall into the hands of the enemy power and are now led into the field against me. Before there can be any testing of my powers, I have been robbed of them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8614</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But Satan now is wiser than of yore, And tempts by making rich, not making poor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58902]]></link><description><![CDATA[But Satan now is wiser than of yore, And tempts by making rich, not making poor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58902</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rich and rare were the gems she wore, And a bright gold ring on her wand she bore. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17778]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rich and rare were the gems she wore, And a bright gold ring on her wand she bore.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17778</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Can heavenly breasts such stormy passions feel?
