When I joined the army, even before the turn of the century, it was the fulfillment of all my boyish hopes and dreams. The world has turned over many times since I took the oath on the plain at West Point, and the hopes and dreams have long since vanished, but I still remember the refrain of one of the most barracks ballads of that day which proclaimed most proudly that old soldiers never die; they just fade away.  And like the old soldier of that ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54064</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is encouraging to see a kid come up and do what he doing. He's got five home runs.

If I do not love a person I am not moved to help him by proofs that he is in need; if I do love him, I wait for no proof of a special need to urge me to help him. Knowledge of Christ is so rich a treasure that the spirit of love must necessarily desire to impart it. The mere assurance that others have it not is sufficient proof of their need. This spirit of love throws aside intellectual arguments that they can do very well without it. But if this spirit is not present, a man is easily persuaded that to impart a knowledge of Christianity (for it is noteworthy that such men always speak of Christianity rather than of Christ) is not necessary -- nay, is superfluous expense of energy which might be better used in other ways.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The whitewash'd wall, the nicely sanded floor, The varnish'd clock that click'd behind the door;  The chest contriv'd a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19622]]></link><description><![CDATA[The whitewash'd wall, the nicely sanded floor, The varnish'd clock that click'd behind the door;  The chest contriv'd a double debt to pay,   A bed by night, a chest of drawers by day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19622</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As long as I have a want, I have a reason for living. Satisfaction is death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54733]]></link><description><![CDATA[As long as I have a want, I have a reason for living. Satisfaction is death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity;

This obsession with roots will be felt especially keenly by foundlings, who often have no way of exploring their family histories.] I notice that genealogical sites now have warnings on them saying people should be ready for little surprises, ... They're not all going to find themselves descended from King Henry VIII or Richard Cur de Lion or Wellington. This is rather strange because it was pretty taken for granted a few generations ago that families had all kinds of little moments where things had gone not according to the book. It was just one of those things. You tried to accommodate it. There was no social welfare. You just had to sort it out within villages, the families, the parish. Children went to the workhouse, but people knew about it. Nowadays, there's a kind of surprise that these cases were so commonplace.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And these are joys, like beauty, but skin deep. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23415]]></link><description><![CDATA[And these are joys, like beauty, but skin deep.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23415</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vanity plays lurid tricks with our memory. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60416]]></link><description><![CDATA[Vanity plays lurid tricks with our memory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man is only as good as what he loves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25876]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man is only as good as what he loves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25876</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yet then from all my grief, O Lord, Thy mercy set me free,  Whilst in the confidence of pray'r ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48037]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yet then from all my grief, O Lord, Thy mercy set me free,  Whilst in the confidence of pray'r   My soul took hold on thee.   - Joseph Addison,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48037</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Repetition of the same thought or physical action develops into a habit which, repeated frequently enough, becomes an automatic reflex. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53850]]></link><description><![CDATA[Repetition of the same thought or physical action develops into a habit which, repeated frequently enough, becomes an automatic reflex.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We participated in an exhaustive research process to provide the services the everyone is looking for. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30678]]></link><description><![CDATA[We participated in an exhaustive research process to provide the services the everyone is looking for.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30678</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not consider it proof just because it is written in books, for a liar who will deceive with his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48409]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not consider it proof just because it is written in books, for a liar who will deceive with his tongue will not hesitate to do the same with his pen]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48409</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was dramatic.
