I don't think of myself as a teacher so much as an impersonator of profundities, inhabiting the wisdom of texts with the naked confidence that the value of the genius I espouse transcends the particular fraud that I am the one espousing it. And it doesn't even matter to me that no one seems to be listening; those who listen that I don't know about are enough to keep me going--soaring on the wings of borrowed metaphors.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Autumn Into earth's lap does throw  Brown apples gay in a game of play,   As the equinoctials ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3565]]></link><description><![CDATA[Autumn Into earth's lap does throw  Brown apples gay in a game of play,   As the equinoctials blow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3565</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Discontent is want of self-reliance; it is infirmity of will ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12412]]></link><description><![CDATA[Discontent is want of self-reliance; it is infirmity of will]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12412</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I expect Woman will be the last thing civilized by Man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27659]]></link><description><![CDATA[I expect Woman will be the last thing civilized by Man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27659</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes I think [my husband] is so amazing that I don't know why he's with me.

Our affections are not ours to be blighted and crucified; they are ours to be deepened and purified. The rich opportunities of life are not held out to us only to be snatched away by an invisible hand patiently waiting for the hour when the cup is sweetest; they are given to us that we may grow, alike through their rise or their withdrawal. They are real, they are sweet, and they are worthy of our longing for them; we gain nothing by calling them dross, or the world an illusion, or ourselves the victims of deception, or by exalting renunciation as the highest virtue. When these opportunities are denied us, it is a real, not an imaginary, loss which we sustain; and our part is not that of bare renunciation, of simple surrender; our part is to recognize the loss, to bear the pain, and to find a deeper and richer life in doing the will of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These guys are not young anymore.
