Wealth establishes a man as a hero, and so does poverty. Virtually any circumstance in a man's life will make him a hero to some group of people and has a mythic rendering in the culture -- in literature, art, theater, or the daily newspapers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[England] a soil whose air is deemed too pure for slaves to breathe in. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56595]]></link><description><![CDATA[[England] a soil whose air is deemed too pure for slaves to breathe in.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56595</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death to all fanatics. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11429]]></link><description><![CDATA[Death to all fanatics.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Up until now, we've done little but complain.
