Noise bought, sold, or prohibited. Nothing essential happens in the absence of noise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Three things are ever silent--Thought, Destiny, and the Grave. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56272]]></link><description><![CDATA[Three things are ever silent--Thought, Destiny, and the Grave.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The real being, with no status, is always going in and out through the doors of your face. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21533]]></link><description><![CDATA[The real being, with no status, is always going in and out through the doors of your face.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An idle life always produces varied inclinations. [Lat., Variam semper dant otia mentem.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20341]]></link><description><![CDATA[An idle life always produces varied inclinations. [Lat., Variam semper dant otia mentem.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20341</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I knew the ball was going in.
