We thank Thee for this place in which we dwell; for the love that unites us; for the peace accorded us this day; for the hope with which we expect the morrow; for the health, the work, the food, and the bright skies that make our lives delightful; for our friends in all parts of the earth, and our friendly helpers in this foreign isle [Samoa]... Give us courage, gaiety, and the quiet mind. Spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies. Bless us, if it may be, in all our innocent endeavors. If it may not be, give us the strength to encounter that which is to come, that we be brave in peril, constant in tribulation, temperate in wrath, and in all changes of fortune and down to the gates of death, loyal and loving to one another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the perpetual dread of fear, the fear of fear, that shapes the face of a brave man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66546]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the perpetual dread of fear, the fear of fear, that shapes the face of a brave man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66546</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Democracy is essentially anti-authoritarian--that is, it not only demands the right but imposes the responsibility of thinking for ourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11872]]></link><description><![CDATA[Democracy is essentially anti-authoritarian--that is, it not only demands the right but imposes the responsibility of thinking for ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11872</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where every something, being blent together turns to a wild of nothing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44655]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where every something, being blent together turns to a wild of nothing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44655</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men conceal the past scenes of their lives. [Lat., Vitae poscaenia celant.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54984]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men conceal the past scenes of their lives. [Lat., Vitae poscaenia celant.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54984</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A day's work is a day's work, neither more nor less, and the man who does it needs a day's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62149]]></link><description><![CDATA[A day's work is a day's work, neither more nor less, and the man who does it needs a day's sustenance, a night's repose, and due leisure, whether he be a painter or ploughman.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be cheerful, if you are wise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50616]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be cheerful, if you are wise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were looking for things to do in the downtown area that would be inexpensive but have a substantial impact, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32389]]></link><description><![CDATA[We were looking for things to do in the downtown area that would be inexpensive but have a substantial impact,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32389</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more you sweat in peacetime, the less you bleed during war. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61111]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more you sweat in peacetime, the less you bleed during war.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61111</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Knowledge of the self is the mother of all knowledge.
