General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your ignorance cramps my conversation ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20395]]></link><description><![CDATA[Your ignorance cramps my conversation]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20395</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes people play hard to get to know that the other person's feelings are real ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59911]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes people play hard to get to know that the other person's feelings are real]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59911</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The markets are clearly disappointed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42257]]></link><description><![CDATA[The markets are clearly disappointed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Intuition is the clear conception of the whole at once. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22979]]></link><description><![CDATA[Intuition is the clear conception of the whole at once.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where wealth and freedom reign, contentment fails, And honour sinks where commerce long prevails. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9947]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where wealth and freedom reign, contentment fails, And honour sinks where commerce long prevails.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9947</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A husband is what's left of the lover after the nerve has been extracted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20192]]></link><description><![CDATA[A husband is what's left of the lover after the nerve has been extracted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20192</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Flattery is all right if you don't inhale. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16185]]></link><description><![CDATA[Flattery is all right if you don't inhale.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The soul is that which denies the body.

How things really are --- and always will be --- is neither all-evil nor all-good but deficient, inconsistent, inferior. Principles invite us to do something about the morass of contradictions in which we function morally. Principles invite us to clean up our act; to become intolerant of moral laxity and compromise and cowardice and the turning away from what is upsetting: that secret gnawing of the heart that tells us that what we are doing is not right, and so counsels us that we'd be better off just not thinking about it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sciences may be learned by rote, but wisdom not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64974]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sciences may be learned by rote, but wisdom not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Look not mournfully into the past, it comes not back again.
