When I find that so much of my life has stolen unprofitably away, and that I can descry by retrospection scarcely a few single days properly and vigorously employed, why do I yet try to resolve again? I try, because reformation is necessary and despair is criminal. I try, in humble hope of the help of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8072</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What power had Ibefore I learned to yield?Shatter me Great Wind!I shall possess the field!Richard Wilbura stanza from his poem ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26588]]></link><description><![CDATA[What power had Ibefore I learned to yield?Shatter me Great Wind!I shall possess the field!Richard Wilbura stanza from his poem To A Milkweed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This category is fraught with issues as to whether publishers can even say go ahead and use them because they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28963]]></link><description><![CDATA[This category is fraught with issues as to whether publishers can even say go ahead and use them because they may not have the rights.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28963</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From morn To moon he fell, from noon to dewy eve,  A summer's day; and with the setting sun ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12156]]></link><description><![CDATA[From morn To moon he fell, from noon to dewy eve,  A summer's day; and with the setting sun   Dropt from the zenith like a falling star.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is so soothing to our self-esteem as to find our bad traits in our forebears.
