She smiled, and said: I know full well, my son, that all you say is true. I have the advantages you mention, but when I hear even the bark of a single dog I feel ready to faint, and fly away as fast as I can. No arguments will give courage to the coward.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think at that point, down to final four, Trump was looking for a specific thing, ...

His agony was His entrance into the last, eternal terrors of the lost soul, into the real horrors of that dreadful, eternal death which man unredeemed must have died into when he left this world. We are therefore not to consider our Lord's death upon the Cross as only the death of that mortal body which was nailed to it, but we are to look upon Him with wounded hearts, as being fixed and fastened in the state of that twofold death, which was due to the fallen nature, out of which He could not come till He could say, "It is finished; Father, into Thy hands I commend my spirit.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7067</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To support those of your rights authorized by Heaven, destroy everything rather than yield; that is the spirit of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8668]]></link><description><![CDATA[To support those of your rights authorized by Heaven, destroy everything rather than yield; that is the spirit of the Church. [Fr., Pour soutenir tes droits, que le ciel autorise,  Abime tout plutot; c'est l'esprit de l'Eglise.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43924]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of two nightingales, the sweet pea that has run wild, Creation's tears in shoulder blades.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The short- term plan, then, is an operative plan defining goals in writing and clearly indicating how these goals are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9895]]></link><description><![CDATA[The short- term plan, then, is an operative plan defining goals in writing and clearly indicating how these goals are to be carried out...]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into hard work. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63015]]></link><description><![CDATA[Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into hard work.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63015</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the silence of night I have often wished for just a few words of love from one man, rather ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2913]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the silence of night I have often wished for just a few words of love from one man, rather than the applause of thousands of people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Harriet Monsell of Clewer, Religious, 1883  The New Jerusalem, when it comes, will probably be found so ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8426]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Harriet Monsell of Clewer, Religious, 1883  The New Jerusalem, when it comes, will probably be found so far to resemble the old as to stone its prophets freely.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Burn to be great, Pay not thy praise to lofty things alone.  The plains are everlasting as the hills, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18246]]></link><description><![CDATA[Burn to be great, Pay not thy praise to lofty things alone.  The plains are everlasting as the hills,   The bard cannot have two pursuits; aught else    Comes on the mind with the like shock as though     Two worlds had gone to war, and met in air.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is like the measles.

The way to keep it in peace is to enter into it by means of inward silence. When you see yourself more sharply assaulted, retreat into that region of peace; and you will find a fortress that will enable you to triumph over all your enemies, visible and invisible, and over all their snares and temptations. Within your own soul resides divine aid, and sovereign succour. Retreat within it, and all will be quiet, secure, peaceable, and calm. Thus, by means of mental silence, which can only be attained with divine help, you may look for tranquility in tumult: for solitude in company; for light in darkness; for forgetfulness in pressures: for vigour in despondency; for courage in fear; for resistance in temptation; and for quiet in tribulation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All three of them are competitive kids and they have always been successful players.
