They know little if anything that is worth knowing, and there is not the slightest sign of a natural desire among them to increase their knowledge.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57017</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I'm having trouble loving someoneI mentally regress him to baby state.-Jan Gopal-. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16534]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I'm having trouble loving someoneI mentally regress him to baby state.-Jan Gopal-.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thus with hir fader for a certeyn space Dwelleth this flour of wyfly pacience,  That neither by hir wordes ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45714]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thus with hir fader for a certeyn space Dwelleth this flour of wyfly pacience,  That neither by hir wordes ne his face   Biforn the fold, ne eek in her absence,    Ne shewed she that hir was doon offence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45714</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nations have recently been led to borrow billions for war; no nation has ever borrowed largely for education.

If we are whimpering, and sniveling, and begging to be spared the discipline of life that is sent to knock some smatterings of manhood into us, the answer to that prayer may never come at all. Thank God! Though, indeed, it is not easy to say that, with honesty. Still, it may never come at all, thank God.
