He is your ally. He is our ally, be he at the other end of the world. Love all living things whose humble task is not opposed in any way to yours, to ours: men with simple hearts, honest, without vanity and malice, and all the animals, because they are beautiful, without exception and without exception indifferent to whatever "idea" there may be. Love them, and you will see the eternal in the glance of their eyes of jet, amber, or emerald. Love also the trees, the plants, the water that runs though the meadow and on to the sea without knowing where it goes; love the mountain, the desert, the forest, the immense sky, full of light or full of clouds; because all these exceed man and reveal the eternal to you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is so swift as calumny, nothing is more easily propagated, nothing more readily credited, nothing more widely circulated. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5183]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is so swift as calumny, nothing is more easily propagated, nothing more readily credited, nothing more widely circulated.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The time will come when you will hate the sight of a mirror. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50779]]></link><description><![CDATA[The time will come when you will hate the sight of a mirror.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One day the faithful will have it all!
