We are shaped by people we have never met. Yes, reading history will make you a better citizen and more appreciative of the law, and of freedom, and of how the economy works or doesn't work, but it is also an immense pleasure—the way art is, or music is, or poetry is. And it's never stale."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness is a perfume which you cannot pour on someone without getting some on yourself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18689]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happiness is a perfume which you cannot pour on someone without getting some on yourself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never less alone, than when alone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48853]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never less alone, than when alone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[heat from impending searches. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38669]]></link><description><![CDATA[heat from impending searches.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38669</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each man has his own desires; all do not possess the same inclinations. [Lat., Velle suuum cuique est, nec voto ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11956]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each man has his own desires; all do not possess the same inclinations. [Lat., Velle suuum cuique est, nec voto vivitur uno.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman moved is like a fountain troubled,— Muddy, ill-seeming, thick, bereft of beauty. -The Taming of the Shrew.

But, there was once a garret up under the roof, a poor, bare place enough. There was a table in it, and there were some benches, and a water-pot; a towel, and a basin in behind the door, but not much else -- a bare, unhomelike room. But the Lord Christ entered into it. And, from that moment, it became the holiest of all, where souls innumerable ever since have met the Lord God, in High glory, face to face. And, if you give Him entrance to that very ordinary heart of yours, it too He will transform and sanctify and touch with a splendour of glory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't make the Duchess of Windsor into Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm.
