The players then wait until all the clever men are dead, and bury them nicely. Then they go and do something else. That is all. For a race of simple tastes, however, it is great fun.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most beautiful view is the one I share with you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66160]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most beautiful view is the one I share with you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66160</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The quality of life is determined by its activities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52638]]></link><description><![CDATA[The quality of life is determined by its activities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52638</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Iraq is an unjust war.(spoken on the Diane Rehm Show twice..stated in articles written for NY Times.. printedin USA Today). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45843]]></link><description><![CDATA[Iraq is an unjust war.(spoken on the Diane Rehm Show twice..stated in articles written for NY Times.. printedin USA Today).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who lined himself with hope, Eating the air on promise of supply. -King Henry IV.
