But my rapture is soon checked when I remember that all is cursed with the infernal spirit of slave-holding and wrong; When I remember that with the waters of her noblest rivers, the tears of my brethren are borne to the ocean, disregarded and forgotten; That her most fertile fields drink daily of the warm blood of my outraged sisters, I am filled with unutterable loathing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I will not make fish one and flesh of another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16066]]></link><description><![CDATA[I will not make fish one and flesh of another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16066</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Custom, that unwritten law, By which the people keep even kings in awe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57021]]></link><description><![CDATA[Custom, that unwritten law, By which the people keep even kings in awe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do what you love and the necessary resources will follow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21471]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do what you love and the necessary resources will follow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21471</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't go around saying the world owes you a living; the world owes you nothing; it was here first ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62178]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't go around saying the world owes you a living; the world owes you nothing; it was here first]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62178</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some people expect the door of opportunity to be opened with an electric eye. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45095]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some people expect the door of opportunity to be opened with an electric eye.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These most brisk and giddy-paced times. -Twelfth Night.

Despite their not-too-distant affinity to the Quakers, they think they will be heard for their much speaking. And since their organists too are equally reluctant to let any liturgical action pass without a ruminative obbligato on the Swell manual, congregations are subjected to unrelieved noise during a service which may well have begun with the reading of the sentence, "Be still, and know that I am God.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I remember, the players have often mentioned it as an honour to Shakespeare, that in his writing (whatsoever he penned) ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55323]]></link><description><![CDATA[I remember, the players have often mentioned it as an honour to Shakespeare, that in his writing (whatsoever he penned) he never plotted out a line.

We do not need to speculate on what heaven will be like. It is enough to know that we will be for ever with Him. When we love anyone with our whole hearts, life begins when we are with that person; it is only in their company that we are really and truly alive. It is so with Christ. In this world our contact with Him is shadowy, for we can only see through a glass darkly. It is spasmodic, for we are poor creatures and cannot live always on the heights. But the best definition of it is to say that heaven is that state where we will always be with Jesus, and where nothing will separate us from Him any more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65364]]></link><description><![CDATA[We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65364</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you want to shop around for the best gas prices in town, you're still going to get that rebate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32289]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you want to shop around for the best gas prices in town, you're still going to get that rebate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With a goalkeeper you can name a replacement for two weeks and just keep extending it from that point. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38424]]></link><description><![CDATA[With a goalkeeper you can name a replacement for two weeks and just keep extending it from that point.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38424</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These evils I deserve, and more . . . .  Justly, yet despair not of his final pardon,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16511]]></link><description><![CDATA[These evils I deserve, and more . . . .  Justly, yet despair not of his final pardon,   Whose ear is ever open, and his eye    Gracious to re-admit the suppliant.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Adversity is the diamond dust Heaven polishes its jewels with. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/876]]></link><description><![CDATA[Adversity is the diamond dust Heaven polishes its jewels with.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/876</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was a long time in the hot seat and I was hopeful that I might hold on, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40266]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was a long time in the hot seat and I was hopeful that I might hold on,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mercy stood in the cloud, with eye that wept Essential love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27341]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mercy stood in the cloud, with eye that wept Essential love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27341</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What can be happier than for a man, conscious of virtuous acts, and content with liberty, to despise all human ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18636]]></link><description><![CDATA[What can be happier than for a man, conscious of virtuous acts, and content with liberty, to despise all human affairs? [Lat., Quid enim est melius quam memoria recte factorum, et libertate contentum negligere humana?]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18636</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ill habits gather by unseen degrees,As brooks make rivers, rivers run to seas. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60519]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ill habits gather by unseen degrees,As brooks make rivers, rivers run to seas.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that fears you present will hate you absent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18811]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that fears you present will hate you absent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18811</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43197]]></link><description><![CDATA[Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43197</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sad truth is that opportunity doesn't knock twice.
