When it is not, he takes his mind off his own meaningless affairs by minding other people's business.This minding of other people's business expresses itself in gossip, snooping and meddling, and also in feverish interest in communal, national and racial affairs. In running away from ourselves we either fall on our neighbor's shoulder or fly at his throat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There was an ape in the days that were earlier, Centuries passed and his hair became curlier;  Centuries more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14347]]></link><description><![CDATA[There was an ape in the days that were earlier, Centuries passed and his hair became curlier;  Centuries more gave a thumb to his wrist--   Then he was a Man and a Positivist.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14347</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where ignorance is bliss, 'Tis folly to be wise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20416]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where ignorance is bliss, 'Tis folly to be wise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman who can't forgive should never have more than a nodding acquaintance with a man.

The shortest possible description of a Christian -- a description with which the New Testament would fully agree -- is that a Christian is a person who can say: "For me Jesus Christ is Lord."
