In the time at their disposal, it was just not worth while. Perhaps the best hope of reviving the Christian religion would be to convince the Pope, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and other dignitaries likewise, that the world will shortly be coming to an end. A difficult undertaking, I fear, notwithstanding much evidence pointing that way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Words without actions are the assassins of idealism. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62025]]></link><description><![CDATA[Words without actions are the assassins of idealism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25980]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People want you to be a crazy, out-of-control teen brat.
