When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we're still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on--series polygamy--until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you first meet him you often find him to be annoying, and you have to control yourself not to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33647]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you first meet him you often find him to be annoying, and you have to control yourself not to say anything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Albrecht's Law: Social innovations tend to the level of minimum tolerable well being. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24353]]></link><description><![CDATA[Albrecht's Law: Social innovations tend to the level of minimum tolerable well being.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As far as we are concerned, we Syria have not changed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29880]]></link><description><![CDATA[As far as we are concerned, we Syria have not changed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our land, the first garden of liberty's tree-- It has been, and shall be, the land of the free. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45767]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our land, the first garden of liberty's tree-- It has been, and shall be, the land of the free.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are a lot of minor holes around the city, but nothing that's a major problem for people driving. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33189]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are a lot of minor holes around the city, but nothing that's a major problem for people driving.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nor sequent centuries could hit Orbit and sum of Shakespeare's wit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55317]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nor sequent centuries could hit Orbit and sum of Shakespeare's wit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55317</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What exile from his country is able to escape from himself? [Lat., Patriae quis exul se quoque fugit.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25963]]></link><description><![CDATA[What exile from his country is able to escape from himself? [Lat., Patriae quis exul se quoque fugit.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25963</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mathematics allows for no hypocrisy and no vagueness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20215]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mathematics allows for no hypocrisy and no vagueness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To make necessity a virtue (a virtue of necessity). [Lat., Necessitatem in virtutem commutarum.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44048]]></link><description><![CDATA[To make necessity a virtue (a virtue of necessity). [Lat., Necessitatem in virtutem commutarum.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44048</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Three men, together riding, Can win new worlds at their will;  Resolute, ne'er dividing,   Lead, and be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58137]]></link><description><![CDATA[Three men, together riding, Can win new worlds at their will;  Resolute, ne'er dividing,   Lead, and be victors still.    Three can laugh and doom a king,     Three can make the planets sing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["A library is not a luxury but one of the necessities of life." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24753]]></link><description><![CDATA["A library is not a luxury but one of the necessities of life."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24753</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I want to get a job as someone who names kitchen appliances.

He desires his transcript to be faithful to the meaning of the original, so far as he can reach that meaning, and also to do some justice to its literary qualities. But he is well aware that his aim often exceeds his grasp. Translation may be a fascinating task, yet no discipline is more humbling. You may be translating oracles, but soon you learn the risk and folly of posing as an oracle yourself. If your readers are dissatisfied at any point, they may be sure that the translator is still more dissatisfied, if not there, then elsewhere -- all the more so, because, in the nature of the case, he has always to appear dogmatic in print.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By a series of violent shocks, the nations in succession have struggled to shake off the Past, to reverse the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38397]]></link><description><![CDATA[By a series of violent shocks, the nations in succession have struggled to shake off the Past, to reverse the action of Time and the verdict of success, and to rescue the world from the reign of the dead.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The good mother sayes not, Will you? but gives. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49861]]></link><description><![CDATA[The good mother sayes not, Will you? but gives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49861</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She trains with the boys.
