Press the brain a little, its light goes out, followed by both the others. Stop the heart a minute, and out go all three of the wicks. Choke the air out of the lungs, and presently the fluid ceases to supply the other centres of flame, and all is soon stagnation, cold, and darkness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18922</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where are the rough brave Britons to be found With Hearts of Oak, so much of old renowned? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13914]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where are the rough brave Britons to be found With Hearts of Oak, so much of old renowned?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13914</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The right word may be effective, but no word was ever as effective as a rightly timed pause. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62060]]></link><description><![CDATA[The right word may be effective, but no word was ever as effective as a rightly timed pause.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62060</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together; our virtues would be proud if ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51222]]></link><description><![CDATA[The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together; our virtues would be proud if our faults whipped them not, and our crimes would despair if they were not cherished by our virtues.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man has every season while a woman only has the right to spring. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63028]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man has every season while a woman only has the right to spring.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tyranny and despotism can be exercised by many, more rigourously, more vigourously, and more severely, than by one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47542]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tyranny and despotism can be exercised by many, more rigourously, more vigourously, and more severely, than by one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many men kill themselves for love, but many more women die of it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11447]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many men kill themselves for love, but many more women die of it]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I didn't have a catharsis for my childhood pain, most of us don't, and until I learned how to forgive ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64954]]></link><description><![CDATA[I didn't have a catharsis for my childhood pain, most of us don't, and until I learned how to forgive those people and let it go, I was unhappy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64954</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Heaven forming each on other to depend, A master, or a servant, or a friend,  Bids each on other ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61339]]></link><description><![CDATA[Heaven forming each on other to depend, A master, or a servant, or a friend,  Bids each on other for assistance call,   Till one man's weakness grows the strength of all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61339</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more sinful and guilty a person tends to feel, the less chance there is that he will be a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18484]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more sinful and guilty a person tends to feel, the less chance there is that he will be a happy, healthy, or law-abiding citizen.

He held that all annoyances, frustrations, disappointments, mishaps, discomforts, hardships, sorrows, pains, and even final disaster iteself, are simply God's way of teaching us lessons that we could never else learn. That circumstances do not matter, are nothing, but that the response of the spirit that meets them is everything; that there is no situation in human life, however apparently adverse, nor any human relationship, however apparently uncongenial, that cannot be made, if God be in the heart, into a thing of perfect joy; that, in order to attain this ultimate perfection, one must accept every experience and learn to love all persons... that the worth of life is is not to be measured by its results in achievement or success, but solely by the motives of the heart and the efforts of one's will.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7050</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What price Glory? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42315]]></link><description><![CDATA[What price Glory?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42315</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You don't think people would go on about my looks if I was No. 500 in the world instead of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58961]]></link><description><![CDATA[You don't think people would go on about my looks if I was No. 500 in the world instead of No.12, do you?
