It is easy enough to own to a general depravity; under cover of it, you and I would escape.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Incens'd with indignation Satan stood Unterrified, and like a comet burn'd,  That fires the length of Ophiucus huge  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12159]]></link><description><![CDATA[Incens'd with indignation Satan stood Unterrified, and like a comet burn'd,  That fires the length of Ophiucus huge   In th' artic sky, and from his horrid hair    Shakes pestilence and war.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The deputy auditor has done a great job, but it's difficult to get things done without him around. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42108]]></link><description><![CDATA[The deputy auditor has done a great job, but it's difficult to get things done without him around.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42108</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24220]]></link><description><![CDATA[Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24220</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is part of our compliance with the Press Law, which bans all obscene publications.
