Shrinking from any deep self-scrutiny is by no means an uncommon thing, and often goes far to explain the feverish restlessness with which a world-loving heart plunges into perpetual rounds of gaieties and dissipations; they serve as an escape from troublesome questions about the soul, and help to get rid of the clamours of conscience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't have a favorite place to play. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39910]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't have a favorite place to play.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39910</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you can be well without health, you may be happy without virtue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60821]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you can be well without health, you may be happy without virtue.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes.

Life has no otherdiscipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept lifeunquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run awayfrom, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in theend. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy,and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one forhim who has the vision to recognize it as such.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is not getting, but giving, not a wild dream of pleasure, and madness of desire— ... it is goodness, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25638]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is not getting, but giving, not a wild dream of pleasure, and madness of desire— ... it is goodness, and honor, and peace and pure living.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25638</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some of us have not much time to lose [to begin loving].
