Love them, and you will see the eternal in the glance of their eyes of jet, amber, or emerald. Love also the trees, the plants, the water that runs though the meadow and on to the sea without knowing where it goes; love the mountain, the desert, the forest, the immense sky, full of light or full of clouds; because all these exceed man and reveal the eternal to you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be aristocracy the only joy: Let commerce perish--let the world expire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44569]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be aristocracy the only joy: Let commerce perish--let the world expire.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing noble in being superior to some other person.
