The elimination of the weak is the death of the fellowship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8582</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fondly we think we honor merit then, When we but praise ourselves in other men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63770]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fondly we think we honor merit then, When we but praise ourselves in other men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63770</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lie has speed, but truth has endurance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13802]]></link><description><![CDATA[A lie has speed, but truth has endurance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13802</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So when a great man dies, For years beyond our ken,  The light he leaves behind him lies  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20865]]></link><description><![CDATA[So when a great man dies, For years beyond our ken,  The light he leaves behind him lies   Upon the paths of men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20865</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Go ahead, make my day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44275]]></link><description><![CDATA[Go ahead, make my day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44275</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nowadays, manners are easy and life is hard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26363]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nowadays, manners are easy and life is hard.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26363</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Television is an invention that permits you to be entertained in your living room by people you wouldn't have in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58829]]></link><description><![CDATA[Television is an invention that permits you to be entertained in your living room by people you wouldn't have in your home.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58829</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Put your talent into your work, but your genius into your life ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58577]]></link><description><![CDATA[Put your talent into your work, but your genius into your life]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58577</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, say! what is that thing call'd light, Which I must ne'er enjoy?  What are the blessings of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4336]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, say! what is that thing call'd light, Which I must ne'er enjoy?  What are the blessings of the sight?   Oh, tell your poor blind boy!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This would be the biggest pipeline built in the last 20 years. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37785]]></link><description><![CDATA[This would be the biggest pipeline built in the last 20 years.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37785</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All genius is a conquering of chaos and mystery. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5613]]></link><description><![CDATA[All genius is a conquering of chaos and mystery.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let frantic Talbot triumph for a while And like a peacock sweep along his tail;  We'll pull his plumes ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46004]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let frantic Talbot triumph for a while And like a peacock sweep along his tail;  We'll pull his plumes and take away his train,   If Dauphin and the rest will be but ruled.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46004</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wouldn't say I'm a very controlling person.
