No, what's important is the way we say it. Art is all about craftsmanship. Others can interpret craftsmanship as style if they wish. Style is what unites memory or recollection, ideology, sentiment, nostalgia, presentiment, to the way we express all that. It's not what we say but how we say it that matters.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58088</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66138]]></link><description><![CDATA[A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[diamonds shine more brightly foiled by black velvet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/723]]></link><description><![CDATA[diamonds shine more brightly foiled by black velvet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/723</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[want to destroy him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34821]]></link><description><![CDATA[want to destroy him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17429]]></link><description><![CDATA[Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old maids sweeten their tea with scandal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54761]]></link><description><![CDATA[Old maids sweeten their tea with scandal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54761</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mother endures with greater courage the loss of one out many children, than she who, in her tears, exclaims, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50774]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mother endures with greater courage the loss of one out many children, than she who, in her tears, exclaims, "Thou wast my only one!"]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50774</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As many men, so many opinions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51734]]></link><description><![CDATA[As many men, so many opinions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51734</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I gazed upon the glorious sky And the green mountains round,  And thought that when I came to lie ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18212]]></link><description><![CDATA[I gazed upon the glorious sky And the green mountains round,  And thought that when I came to lie   At rest within the ground,    'Twere pleasant, that in flowery June     When brooks send up a cheerful tune,      And groves a joyous sound,       The sexton's hand, my grave to make,        The rich, green mountain-turf should break.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18212</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fanaticism, the false fire of an overheated mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15278]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fanaticism, the false fire of an overheated mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15278</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing permanent except change. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27956]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing permanent except change.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Americans have different ways of saying things.
