But surely a man's hunger does prove that he comes of a race which repairs its body by eating and inhabits a world where eatable substances exist. In the same way, though I do not believe (I wish I did) that my desire for Paradise proves that I shall enjoy it, I think it a pretty good indication that such a thing exists and that some men will. A man may love a woman and not win her; but it would be very odd if the phenomenon called `falling in love" occurred in a sexless world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the grandfather of the grandfather of Jesus had known what was hidden within him, he would have stood humble ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53526]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the grandfather of the grandfather of Jesus had known what was hidden within him, he would have stood humble and awe-struck before his soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man provokes me with impunity. [Lat., Nemo me impune lacessit.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2547]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man provokes me with impunity. [Lat., Nemo me impune lacessit.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything on the earth has a purpose, every disease an herb to cure it, and every person a mission. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1204]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything on the earth has a purpose, every disease an herb to cure it, and every person a mission.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1204</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12229]]></link><description><![CDATA[Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12229</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What Harris Teeter looks for is a certain demographic, household income and education level, and Columbia really fit the demographic. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39958]]></link><description><![CDATA[What Harris Teeter looks for is a certain demographic, household income and education level, and Columbia really fit the demographic.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Vincent de Paul, Founder of the Congregation of the Mission (Lazarists), 1660  If I mistake, He will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8192]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Vincent de Paul, Founder of the Congregation of the Mission (Lazarists), 1660  If I mistake, He will forgive me.
