The real questions refuse to be placated. They barge into your life at the times when it seems most important for them to stay away. They are the questions asked most frequently and answered most inadequately, the ones that reveal their true natures slowly, reluctantly, most often against your will. -Ingrid Bengis.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Past and to come seems best; things present worst. -King Henry IV.

It was perfectly dry in spite of the fact that it had been immersed in water for centuries. The same is true of many people in the Western world. For centuries they have been surrounded by Christianity; they live immersed in the waters of its benefits. And yet it has not penetrated their hearts; they do not love it. The fault is not in Christianity, but in men's hearts, which have been hardened by materialism and intellectualism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love: A temporary insanity curable by marriage or by removal of the patient from the influences under which he incurred ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63217]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love: A temporary insanity curable by marriage or by removal of the patient from the influences under which he incurred the disorder.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63217</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Want, the mistress of invention. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23003]]></link><description><![CDATA[Want, the mistress of invention.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One must always draw, draw with the eyes, when one cannot draw with a pencil.rn ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63392]]></link><description><![CDATA[One must always draw, draw with the eyes, when one cannot draw with a pencil.rn]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63392</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has not heart; and any man who is over ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61756]]></link><description><![CDATA[Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has not heart; and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Denys, Bishop of Paris, & his Companions, Martyrs, 258 Commemoration of Robert Grosseteste, Bishop of Lincoln, Philosopher, Scientist, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6578]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Denys, Bishop of Paris, & his Companions, Martyrs, 258 Commemoration of Robert Grosseteste, Bishop of Lincoln, Philosopher, Scientist, 1253  It is of the greatest importance for the soul to go to prayer with confidence, and such a pure and disinterested love as seeks nothing from the Father but the ability to please Him and to do His will; for a child who only proportions his diligence to his hope of reward renders himself unworthy of all reward. Go, then, to prayer, not that ye may enjoy spiritual delights, but that ye may be full or empty, just as it pleaseth God. This will preserve you in an evenness of spirit, either in desertion or in consolation, and will prevent your being surprised at dryness, or the apparent repulses of Him who is altogether Love. Constant prayer is to keep the heart always right towards God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing succeeds like success. [Fr., Rien ne reussit comme le succes.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48954]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing succeeds like success. [Fr., Rien ne reussit comme le succes.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48954</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The stream of Time, which is continually washing the dissoluble fabrics of other poets, passes without injury by the adamant ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55322]]></link><description><![CDATA[The stream of Time, which is continually washing the dissoluble fabrics of other poets, passes without injury by the adamant of Shakespeare.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm saddened that I have to work at some fundamental areas.
