Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up interest wrinkles the soul. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope as old as your despair.

When your heart is covered with the snows of pessimism and the ice of cynicism, then, and then only, are you grown old. And then, indeed as the ballad says, you just fade away.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62528</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be a gentleman farmer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50432]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be a gentleman farmer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50432</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Living in an age of advertisement, we are perpetually disillusioned.

Nor is the suffering God a fair ideal  Engendered in the questioning hearts of men,  A figment of the mind to help me steel  My soul to rude realities I ken.  God suffers with a love that cleanses dross;  A God like that, I see upon a cross.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is neither wealth nor splendor; but tranquillity and occupation which give happiness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44853]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is neither wealth nor splendor; but tranquillity and occupation which give happiness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without justice, courage is weak. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23617]]></link><description><![CDATA[Without justice, courage is weak.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23617</guid></item></channel></rss>
