Luxury is the roadmaker of progress: it develops latent needs and makes people discontented. In so far as they think consistently, moralists who condemn luxury must recommend the comparatively desireless existence of the wild life roaming in the woods as the ultimate ideal of civilized life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15738</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They can't fire me because my family buys too many tickets. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57632]]></link><description><![CDATA[They can't fire me because my family buys too many tickets.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57632</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that is already corrupt is naturally suspicious, and he that becomes suspicious will quickly become corrupt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58423]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that is already corrupt is naturally suspicious, and he that becomes suspicious will quickly become corrupt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58423</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All history, of course, is the history of wars. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19358]]></link><description><![CDATA[All history, of course, is the history of wars.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We Americans live in a nation where the medical-care system is second to none in the world, unless you count ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2419]]></link><description><![CDATA[We Americans live in a nation where the medical-care system is second to none in the world, unless you count maybe 25 or 30 little scuzzball countries like Scotland that we could vaporize in seconds if we felt like it]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think self-awareness is probably the most important thing towards being a champion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3587]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think self-awareness is probably the most important thing towards being a champion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The family is the school of duties - founded on love ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15188]]></link><description><![CDATA[The family is the school of duties - founded on love]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The strength of criticism lies in the weakness of the thing criticized. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10763]]></link><description><![CDATA[The strength of criticism lies in the weakness of the thing criticized.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10763</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wit is the lowest form of humor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19336]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wit is the lowest form of humor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The languages, especially the dead, The sciences, and most of all the abstruse,  The arts, at least all such ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24529]]></link><description><![CDATA[The languages, especially the dead, The sciences, and most of all the abstruse,  The arts, at least all such as could be said   To be the most remote from common use,    In all these he was much and deeply read.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[First of all, writing at best - certainly fiction writing - more and more I think is magic. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39594]]></link><description><![CDATA[First of all, writing at best - certainly fiction writing - more and more I think is magic.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no vice so simple, but assumes Some mark of virtue on his outward parts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51414]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no vice so simple, but assumes Some mark of virtue on his outward parts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51414</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Ants and the Grasshopper THE ANTS were spending a fine winter's day drying grain collectedin the summertime.
