She had all sorts of wonderful little idiosyncrasies. She used to fart in her sleep. I thought I’d share that with you. One night it was so loud it woke the dog up. She woke up and went ‘ah was that you?’ And I didn’t have the heart to tell her. Oh!Will: She woke herself up?Sean: Ah...! But Will, she’s been dead for 2 years, and that's the shit I remember: wonderful stuff you know? Little things like that. Those are the things I miss the most. The little idiosyncrasies that only I know about: that's what made her my wife. Oh she had the goods on me too, she knew all my little peccadilloes. People call these things imperfections, but there not. Ah, that's the good stuff.~ Robin Williams as Sean Maguire, Matt Damon as Will Hunting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some of mankind's most terrible misdeeds have been committed under the spell of certain magic words or phrases. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48423]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some of mankind's most terrible misdeeds have been committed under the spell of certain magic words or phrases.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48423</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Despite a voluminous and often fervent literature on "income distribution," the cold fact is that most income is not distributed: ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48477]]></link><description><![CDATA[Despite a voluminous and often fervent literature on "income distribution," the cold fact is that most income is not distributed: It is earned.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's only arrogance if you're wrong ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3118]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's only arrogance if you're wrong]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All of the books in the world contain no more information than is broadcast as video in a single large ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54859]]></link><description><![CDATA[All of the books in the world contain no more information than is broadcast as video in a single large American city in a single year.

But such a formula, though it truly represented one side of their situation, can never represent the whole of any human situation. For God is also a Being whom it ill suits any of us to find but from whom we cannot escape. Part of the reason why men cannot find God is that there is that in Him which they do not desire to find, so that the God whom they are seeking and cannot find is not the God who truly is. Perhaps we could not fail to find God, if it were really God whom we were seeking. And indeed the deepest reality of the situation is that contained in the discovery, which alone is likely at last to resolve our perplexity, that when we were so distressfully seeking that which was not really God, the true God had already found us, though at first we did not know that it was He by whom we had been found. There is a saying, "Be careful what you seek; you might find it." And some who have sought God only as a complacent ally of their own ambitions have found Him a consuming fire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No more the mounting larks, while Daphne sings, Shall, list'ning, in mid-air suspend their wings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24100]]></link><description><![CDATA[No more the mounting larks, while Daphne sings, Shall, list'ning, in mid-air suspend their wings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is useful cannot be base ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60300]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is useful cannot be base]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60300</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We get too soon old and too late smart. -Pennsylvania Dutch proverb. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1825]]></link><description><![CDATA[We get too soon old and too late smart. -Pennsylvania Dutch proverb.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1825</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We wanted to see where they had died.
