Then everybody would leave the Cricket Boy alone, and I'd invite him over to spend the night at my house, but after about five minutes of that loud chirping I'd have to kick him out. Maybe later we could get up a petition to get the Cricket Family run out of town. Bye, Cricket Boy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be happy.

We will have such-a-one, for he sings prettily; we will invite such-a-one to a ball, for he dances well; we will have such-a-one at supper, for he is always joking and laughing; we will ask another because he plays deep at all games, or because he can drink a great deal. These are all vilifying distinctions, mortifying preferences, and exclude all ideas of esteem and regard. Whoever is had (as it is called) in company for the sake of any one thing singly, is singly that thing, and will never be considered in any other light; consequently never respected, let his merits be what they will.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no greater sign of a general decay of virtue in a nation, than a want of zeal in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62617]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no greater sign of a general decay of virtue in a nation, than a want of zeal in its inhabitants for the good of their country.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62617</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God will not look you over for medals, degrees, or diplomas, but for scars. -Elbert Hubbard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12241]]></link><description><![CDATA[God will not look you over for medals, degrees, or diplomas, but for scars. -Elbert Hubbard.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3163]]></link><description><![CDATA[The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3163</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nor can his blessed soul look down from heaven, Or break the eternal sabbath of his rest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19091]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nor can his blessed soul look down from heaven, Or break the eternal sabbath of his rest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We thought that by selling, we would have much more capital available to us to grow faster, and we thought ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42116]]></link><description><![CDATA[We thought that by selling, we would have much more capital available to us to grow faster, and we thought ultimately the company would be much more stable financially.
