One of them was young, and the other well advanced in years. The elder woman, ashamed to be courted by a man younger than herself, made a point, whenever her admirer visited her, to pull out some portion of his black hairs. The younger, on the contrary, not wishing to become the wife of an old man, was equally zealous in removing every gray hair she could find. Thus it came to pass that between them both he very soon found that he had not a hair left on his head. Those who seek to please everybody please nobody.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The advantage of a classical education is that it enables you to despise the wealth which it prevents you from ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13487]]></link><description><![CDATA[The advantage of a classical education is that it enables you to despise the wealth which it prevents you from achieving.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All I'd heard for two months in the trenches was the hissing, cracking and whining of bullets in flight, machine-gun ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28880]]></link><description><![CDATA[All I'd heard for two months in the trenches was the hissing, cracking and whining of bullets in flight, machine-gun fire and distant German voices.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48302]]></link><description><![CDATA[Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of John of the Cross, Mystic, Poet, Teacher, 1591   A Christian should always remember that the value ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7556]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of John of the Cross, Mystic, Poet, Teacher, 1591   A Christian should always remember that the value of his good works is not based on their number and excellence, but on the love of God which prompts him to do these things.   St. John of the Cross  December 15, 2000   Two thousand years of failure have not taught some reformers that you can't stop sin by declaring it illegal. Two thousand years have not taught them that you can't save a man's soul by force -- you can only lose your own in the attempt. Drunkenness and gambling and secularism and lechery -- various hopeful churchmen have earnestly tried to outlaw them all; and what is the result? A drunken nation, a gambling nation, a secularist nation, an adulterous nation.
