Promoting self under the guise of promoting Christ is currently so common as to excite little notice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. - De Legibus, 1240. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17212]]></link><description><![CDATA[An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. - De Legibus, 1240.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17212</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58741]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The block of granite which is an obstacle in the pathway of the weak, becomes a stepping-stone in the pathway ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53972]]></link><description><![CDATA[The block of granite which is an obstacle in the pathway of the weak, becomes a stepping-stone in the pathway of the strong.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53972</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber; for a bird ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4224]]></link><description><![CDATA[Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber; for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The common practice of keeping up appearances with society is a mere selfish struggle of the vain with the vain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60395]]></link><description><![CDATA[The common practice of keeping up appearances with society is a mere selfish struggle of the vain with the vain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60395</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old Dublin City there is no doubtin' Bates every city upon the say.  'Tis there you'd hear O'Connell spoutin' ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23046]]></link><description><![CDATA[Old Dublin City there is no doubtin' Bates every city upon the say.  'Tis there you'd hear O'Connell spoutin'   And Lady Morgan making tay.    For 'tis the capital of the finest nation,     With charmin' pisintry upon a fruitful sod,      Fightin' like devils for conciliation,       And hatin' each other for the Love of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Join voices, all ye living souls: ye birds, That singing up to heaven-gate ascend,  Bear on your wings and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48016]]></link><description><![CDATA[Join voices, all ye living souls: ye birds, That singing up to heaven-gate ascend,  Bear on your wings and in your notes his praise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48016</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45328]]></link><description><![CDATA[Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A sculptor wields The chisel, and the stricken marble grows  To beauty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54927]]></link><description><![CDATA[A sculptor wields The chisel, and the stricken marble grows  To beauty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54927</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best people renounce all for one goal, the eternal fame of mortals; but most people stuff themselves like cattle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64899]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best people renounce all for one goal, the eternal fame of mortals; but most people stuff themselves like cattle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64899</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who waits to do a great deal of good at once, will never do anything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5740]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who waits to do a great deal of good at once, will never do anything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hit some bad shots but didn't let it get to me.
