The trouble with steeling yourself against the harshness of reality is that the same steel that secures your life against being destroyed secures your life also against being opened up and transformed by the holy power that life itself comes from. You can even prevail on your own. But you cannot become human on your own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That is not the best sermon which makes the hearers go away talking to one another, and praising the speaker, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55204]]></link><description><![CDATA[That is not the best sermon which makes the hearers go away talking to one another, and praising the speaker, but which makes them go away thoughtful and serious, and hastening to be alone]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55204</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Temptation is a woman's weapon and man's excuse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58928]]></link><description><![CDATA[Temptation is a woman's weapon and man's excuse.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58928</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that is once borne, once must dy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49368]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that is once borne, once must dy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49368</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let no man value at a little price A virtuous woman's counsel; her wing'd spirit  Is feather'd oftentimes with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/777]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let no man value at a little price A virtuous woman's counsel; her wing'd spirit  Is feather'd oftentimes with heavenly words.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/777</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A room without books is a body without soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28140]]></link><description><![CDATA[A room without books is a body without soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28140</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We’re busy exporting Democracy abroad to Afghanistan and Iraq, which is fine, but what we really need to do is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1682]]></link><description><![CDATA[We’re busy exporting Democracy abroad to Afghanistan and Iraq, which is fine, but what we really need to do is a better job at making our Democracy work right here at home.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1682</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not human nature we should accuse but the despicable conventions that pervert it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20009]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not human nature we should accuse but the despicable conventions that pervert it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20009</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Diseases desperate grown By desparate appliance are relieved,  Or not at all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12497]]></link><description><![CDATA[Diseases desperate grown By desparate appliance are relieved,  Or not at all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Certainly Katrina eliminated boating activities in that part of the Gulf Coast, but for West Marine, 15 stores were directly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34138]]></link><description><![CDATA[Certainly Katrina eliminated boating activities in that part of the Gulf Coast, but for West Marine, 15 stores were directly affected by the hurricane.
