It was slow in operation, being little aided by invention or imagination, but sure in conclusion.... Perhaps the strongest feature in his character was prudence, never acting until every circumstance, every consideration, was maturely weighed; refraining if he saw doubt, but, when once decided, going through his purpose, whatever obstacles opposed. His integrity was the most pure, his justice the most inflexible I have ever known.... He was, indeed, in every sense of the words, a wise, a good and a great man ... On the whole, his character was, in its mass, perfect ... it may truly be said, that never did nature and fortune combine more perfectly to make a man great....]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the most valuable things we can do to heal one another islisten to each other's stories. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22439]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the most valuable things we can do to heal one another islisten to each other's stories.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22439</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have set my life upon a cast, And I will stand the hazard of the die: I think there ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56026]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have set my life upon a cast, And I will stand the hazard of the die: I think there be six Richmonds in the field. -King Richard III.

Unknown  Stop the mindless wishing that things would be different. Rather than wasting time and emotional and spiritual energy in explaining why we don't have what we want, we can start to pursue other ways to get it. •Greg Anderson   A man of the world must seem to be what he wishes to be thought. •Jean De La Bruyère   Wishes expand in direct proportion to the resources available for their gratification. •Robert Dato  A wish is a desire without an attempt. •Farmer Digest  Oh, the secret life of man and woman -- dreaming how much better we would be than we are if we were somebody else or even ourselves, and feeling that our estate has been unexploited to its fullest. •Zelda Fitzgerald  Men try to run life according to their wishes; life runs itself according to necessity. •Jean Toomer  Some people develop a wishbone where their backbone should be. •Anonymous  Indeed, man wishes to be happy even when he so lives as to make happiness impossible. •St. Augustine   When you love someone all your saved-up wishes start coming out. •Elizabeth Bowen   Whoever, in middle age, attempts to realize the wishes and hopes of his early youth, invariably deceives himself. Each ten years of a man's life has its own fortunes, its own hopes, its own desires. •Goethe   Destiny grants us our wishes, but in its own way, in order to give us something beyond our wishes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64609]]></link><description><![CDATA[Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A vow is fixed and unalterable determination to do a thing, when such a determination is related to something noble ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61029]]></link><description><![CDATA[A vow is fixed and unalterable determination to do a thing, when such a determination is related to something noble which can only uplift the man who makes the resolve.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cheek . . . Flushing white and mellow'd red;  Gradual tints, as when there glows   In snowy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14869]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cheek . . . Flushing white and mellow'd red;  Gradual tints, as when there glows   In snowy milk the bashful rose.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14869</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comin' through the rye, poor body, Comin' through the rye,  She draigl't a' her petticoatie,   Comin' through ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23822]]></link><description><![CDATA[Comin' through the rye, poor body, Comin' through the rye,  She draigl't a' her petticoatie,   Comin' through the rye    . . . .     Gin a body meet a body      Comin' through the rye,       Gin a body kiss a body        Need a body cry?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23822</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When one of your dreams come true, you begin to look at the others more carefully. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65539]]></link><description><![CDATA[When one of your dreams come true, you begin to look at the others more carefully.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even a blind dog can find a bone every so often. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45102]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even a blind dog can find a bone every so often.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45102</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Costa Rica team will play very strong, very fast in the beginning of the game, try to get an ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30790]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Costa Rica team will play very strong, very fast in the beginning of the game, try to get an early goal and write their ticket to Germany.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30790</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62042]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62042</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good friends are good for your health. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16815]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good friends are good for your health.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16815</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To free the mind from the habit of competition, we must see in detail the process by which the mind ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57501]]></link><description><![CDATA[To free the mind from the habit of competition, we must see in detail the process by which the mind is ensnared by competition.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's still learning how to run.
