The Christian hope finds ambivalence in death: that which destroys, also redeems.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The protean nature of the computer is such that it can act like a machine or like a language to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9374]]></link><description><![CDATA[The protean nature of the computer is such that it can act like a machine or like a language to be shaped and exploited.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better to be blinde, then to see ill. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49162]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better to be blinde, then to see ill.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sad dislike those who are cheerful, and the cheerful dislike the melancholy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50355]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sad dislike those who are cheerful, and the cheerful dislike the melancholy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50355</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These are begot in the ventricle of memory, nourished in the womb of pia mater, and delivered upon the mellowing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55493]]></link><description><![CDATA[These are begot in the ventricle of memory, nourished in the womb of pia mater, and delivered upon the mellowing of occasion. -Love's Labour 's Lost.
