Work well done rises like a hymn of praise to God. This means that the doctor on his rounds, the scientist in his laboratory, the teacher in his classroom, the musician at his music, the artist at his canvas, the shop assistant at his counter, the typist at her typewriter, the housewife in her kitchen -- all who are doing the work of the world as it should be done are joining in a great act of worship.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In answer to the question of why it happened, I offer the modest proposal that our Universe is simply one ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60183]]></link><description><![CDATA[In answer to the question of why it happened, I offer the modest proposal that our Universe is simply one of those things which happen from time to time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do not want to act unless I have a a great intimacy with the people I'm working with. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29603]]></link><description><![CDATA[I do not want to act unless I have a a great intimacy with the people I'm working with.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old unix hackers don't die, they just turn into zombie processes ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62675]]></link><description><![CDATA[Old unix hackers don't die, they just turn into zombie processes]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Acting is a question of absorbing other people's personalities and adding some of your own experience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/445]]></link><description><![CDATA[Acting is a question of absorbing other people's personalities and adding some of your own experience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/445</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Meetings are an addictive, highly self-indulgent activity that corporations and other large organizations habitually engage in only because they cannot ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26824]]></link><description><![CDATA[Meetings are an addictive, highly self-indulgent activity that corporations and other large organizations habitually engage in only because they cannot masturbate]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26824</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Soldiers are dreamers; when the guns begin they think of firelit homes, clean beds, and wives ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57117]]></link><description><![CDATA[Soldiers are dreamers; when the guns begin they think of firelit homes, clean beds, and wives]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Obviously, a little more tepid than what markets were expecting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34921]]></link><description><![CDATA[Obviously, a little more tepid than what markets were expecting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All the characters in my films are fighting these problems, needing freedom, trying to find a way to cut themselves ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42620]]></link><description><![CDATA[All the characters in my films are fighting these problems, needing freedom, trying to find a way to cut themselves loose, but failing to rid themselves of conscience, a sense of sin, the whole bag of tricks.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42620</guid></item></channel></rss>
