Our art, science, medicine, literature, music and "charitable" acts seem like mere droppings from a table on which gory feasts on the spoils of conquest have engaged the attention of a system whose appetite for rule is utterly unrestrained.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There will be no talking about money because if she does that's all that's going to be talked about. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37660]]></link><description><![CDATA[There will be no talking about money because if she does that's all that's going to be talked about.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37660</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think the British have the distinction above all other nations of being able to put new wine into old ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31998]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think the British have the distinction above all other nations of being able to put new wine into old bottles without bursting them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chicago ain't no sissy town. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5869]]></link><description><![CDATA[Chicago ain't no sissy town.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5869</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Houses are built to live in and not to look on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19892]]></link><description><![CDATA[Houses are built to live in and not to look on.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19892</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music hath charm to soothe a savage breast, To soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5767]]></link><description><![CDATA[Music hath charm to soothe a savage breast, To soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: That thine alms may ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46453]]></link><description><![CDATA[But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46453</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's why many fail-because they don't get started-they don't go.

But however easy any work may be, it can not be well done without taking thought about it. And such people, instead of taking thought about their work, generally take thought about the morrow, in which no work can be done any more than in yesterday.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8193</guid></item></channel></rss>
