When I joined the army, even before the turn of the century, it was the fulfillment of all my boyish hopes and dreams. The world has turned over many times since I took the oath on the plain at West Point, and the hopes and dreams have long since vanished, but I still remember the refrain of one of the most barracks ballads of that day which proclaimed most proudly that old soldiers never die; they just fade away.  And like the old soldier of that ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty.

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[Conceit, more rich in matter than in words, brags of his substance: they are but beggars who can count their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9624]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conceit, more rich in matter than in words, brags of his substance: they are but beggars who can count their worth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've made several films that haven't been shown. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39871]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've made several films that haven't been shown.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39871</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Three things give us hardy strength: sleeping on hairy mattresses, breathing cold air, and eating dry food. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57963]]></link><description><![CDATA[Three things give us hardy strength: sleeping on hairy mattresses, breathing cold air, and eating dry food.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57963</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nobody as enslaved as the fanatic, the person in whom one impulse, one value, has assumed ascendancy over ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15256]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nobody as enslaved as the fanatic, the person in whom one impulse, one value, has assumed ascendancy over all others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Diplomacy is thinking twice before saying nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12328]]></link><description><![CDATA[Diplomacy is thinking twice before saying nothing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I will it, I order it, let my will stand for a reason. [Lat., Hoc volo, sic jubeo, sit pro ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53095]]></link><description><![CDATA[I will it, I order it, let my will stand for a reason. [Lat., Hoc volo, sic jubeo, sit pro ratione voluntas.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53095</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whether the weather be fine, Whether the weather be not, Whether the weather be cold, Whether the weather be hot, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61479]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whether the weather be fine, Whether the weather be not, Whether the weather be cold, Whether the weather be hot, We'll weather the weather, Whatever the whether, Whether we like it or not]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61479</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are a sort of men whose visages Do cream and mantle like a standing pond. -The Merchant of Venice. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55544]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are a sort of men whose visages Do cream and mantle like a standing pond. -The Merchant of Venice.
