And such people, instead of taking thought about their work, generally take thought about the morrow -- in which no work can be done, any more than in yesterday.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8073</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He takes the greatest ornament from friendship, who takes modesty from it. [Lat., Maximum ornamentum amicitiae tollit, qui ex ea ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42902]]></link><description><![CDATA[He takes the greatest ornament from friendship, who takes modesty from it. [Lat., Maximum ornamentum amicitiae tollit, qui ex ea tollit verecudiam.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42902</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He pitched solid.
