Numberless in short are the ways, and sometimes imperceptible, in which the affections color and infect the understanding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52376</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56373]]></link><description><![CDATA[My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56373</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The desire to be different from the people we live with is sometimes the result of our rejection- real or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56880]]></link><description><![CDATA[The desire to be different from the people we live with is sometimes the result of our rejection- real or imagined- by them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be right, and then be easy to live with, if possible, but in that order. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45276]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be right, and then be easy to live with, if possible, but in that order.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45276</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Evil thoughts often come from idleness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20358]]></link><description><![CDATA[Evil thoughts often come from idleness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20358</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pleasure of love lasts but a moment, Pain of love lasts a lifetime. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25685]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pleasure of love lasts but a moment, Pain of love lasts a lifetime.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25685</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they're going to have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60492]]></link><description><![CDATA[The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they're going to have some pretty annoying virtues.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any time you have loose ballots, you have to worry about shenanigans.
