Just because something works doesn't mean it is desirable. Concentration camps work, if your purpose is to enslave people. Stealing works, if all you care about is money. Lying works, if you don't give a damn about your personal integrity. Literally anything, no matter how monstrously immoral will work, depending on your desires and how you define the term work,.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let the rain kiss you.

When we select for serious consideration those doctrines which "transcend" the thought of his own age and are "for all time", we are assuming that the thought of our age is correct: for of course by thoughts which transcend the great man's age we really mean thoughts that agree with ours. Thus I value Shakespeare's picture of the transformation in old Lear more than I value his views about the divine right of kings, because I agree with Shakespeare that a man can be purified by suffering like Lear, but do not believe that kings (or any other rulers) have divine right in the sense required. When the great man's views do not seem to us erroneous we do not value them the less for having been shared with his contemporaries. Shakespeare's disdain for treachery and Christ's blessing on the poor were not alien to the outlook of their respective periods; but no one wishes to discredit them on that account.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm old enough to know better, but still too young to care. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6040]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm old enough to know better, but still too young to care.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6040</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's actually fairly critical that we have a definitive time frame, because as we move into the Christmas season, a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38727]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's actually fairly critical that we have a definitive time frame, because as we move into the Christmas season, a number of hotels have reservations and bookings.
