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. In the central place of every heart there is a recording chamber. So long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer and courage, so long are you young. 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[Rest is a good thing, but boredom is its brother. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54021]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rest is a good thing, but boredom is its brother.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Hildegard, Abbess of Bingen, Visionary, 1179  That earth and that heaven, which spent God himself, Almighty God, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8191]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Hildegard, Abbess of Bingen, Visionary, 1179  That earth and that heaven, which spent God himself, Almighty God, six days in finishing, Moses sets up in a few syllables, in one line: In the beginning God created heaven and earth. If a Livie or a Guicciardine, or such extensive and voluminous authors had had this story in hand, God must have made another world, to have made them a library to hold their books, of the making of this world. Into what wire would they have drawn out this earth! Into what leaf-gold would they have beat out these heavens! It may assist our conjecture herein, to consider, that amongst those men, who proceed with a sober modesty and limitation in their writing, & make a conscience not to clog the world with unnecessary books, yet the volumes which are written by them, upon the beginning of Genesis, are scarce less than infinite. God did no more but say, Let this & this be done; and Moses doth no more but say, that upon God's saying it was done. God required not Nature to help him to do it; Moses required not Reason to help him believe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Please do not treat Indonesia as some satellite country that America can push around.

But if this verse ("'They hated me without a cause." Ps. 69:4) occurred to Jesus as describing his enemies, surely he was also identifying with the rest of [Psalm 69] with its vivid description of overwhelming troubles and importune cries to God for deliverance. What in the upper room was still under the surface was openly expressed in the garden.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6375</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've been together now for forty years, An' it don't seem a day too much;  There ain't a lady ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26563]]></link><description><![CDATA[We've been together now for forty years, An' it don't seem a day too much;  There ain't a lady livin' in the land   As I'd swop for my dear old Dutch.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66799]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The highest form of vanity is love of fame. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15126]]></link><description><![CDATA[The highest form of vanity is love of fame.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15126</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any time I got in emotional turmoil, I felt sick all the time, like at any minute I would die. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64603]]></link><description><![CDATA[Any time I got in emotional turmoil, I felt sick all the time, like at any minute I would die.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I must not fear.

What other virtue can there be in fifty-one percent except the brute fact that fifty-one is more than forty-nine? The rule of fifty-one per cent is a convenience, it is for certain matters a satisfactory political device, it is for others the lesser of two evils, and for others it is acceptable because we do not know any less troublesome method of obtaining a political decision. But it may easily become an absurd tyranny if we regard it worshipfully, as though it were more than a political device. We have lost all sense of its true meaning when we imagine that the opinion of fifty-one per cent is in some high fashion the true opinion of the whole hundred per cent, or indulge in the sophistry that the rule of a majority is based upon the ultimate equality of man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22566]]></link><description><![CDATA[If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Puberty is a phase... fifteen years of rejection is a lifestyle.
