And knowing that we are profiting by the blood, sweat, and tears of the many, we feel wrath rising in us whenever it is proposed that religion touches the thing in question.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Charity should begin at home, but should not stay there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5722]]></link><description><![CDATA[Charity should begin at home, but should not stay there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5722</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Rose has but a Summer reign, The daisy never dies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10995]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Rose has but a Summer reign, The daisy never dies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Agitation is the marshalling of the conscience of a nation to mold its laws. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1912]]></link><description><![CDATA[Agitation is the marshalling of the conscience of a nation to mold its laws.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1912</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have forty-four defenses for him, but he has forty-five ways to score. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28625]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have forty-four defenses for him, but he has forty-five ways to score.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28625</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O bed!
