They're fun and entertaining. But there's a limit to what consumers will spend -- they're already buying games, ring tones, videos, and music. The average cell-phone bill is already around $50. And consumers have shown [a willingness] to spend an extra 5% to 10% a month for data services. But they're not going to spend an unlimited amount for more and more services.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39334</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As many mince pies as you taste at Christmas' so many happy months will you have. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8644]]></link><description><![CDATA[As many mince pies as you taste at Christmas' so many happy months will you have.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing harder than the softness of indifference. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2700]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing harder than the softness of indifference.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2700</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sorrow is tranquillity remembered in emotion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59562]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sorrow is tranquillity remembered in emotion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59562</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we are not ashamed to think it, we should not be ashamed to say it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1321]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we are not ashamed to think it, we should not be ashamed to say it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1321</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Staying up all night is a waste of sleeping, and a waste of sleepingis a waste of dreaming, and dreaming ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22241]]></link><description><![CDATA[Staying up all night is a waste of sleeping, and a waste of sleepingis a waste of dreaming, and dreaming is important because the moredreams you have, the better chance of one coming true.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Few women care to be laughed at and men not at all, except for large sums of money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15914]]></link><description><![CDATA[Few women care to be laughed at and men not at all, except for large sums of money.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15914</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wise man loses nothing, if he but save himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25577]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wise man loses nothing, if he but save himself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25577</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm content to stand on tradition.

Nor will it take comfort in the thought that God is dead, or that mankind has come of age, or even in ecumenical negotiations for writing off Papal Infallibility against the validity of Anglican Orders.

Though now we are fallen upon another method, we have turned all religion into faith, and our faith is nothing but the production of interest or disputing; it is adhering to a party and a wrangling against all the world beside--and when it is asked of what religion he is, we understand the meaning to be what faction does he follow, what are the articles of his sect, not what is the manner of his life: and if men be zealous for their party and that interest, then they are precious men, though otherwise they be covetous as the grave, factious as Dathan, schismatical as Korah, or proud as the fallen angels.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6982</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we are honest, we freely admit that the Christian system involves difficulties; but so does every other system.

No thoughtful person gives up a position merely because he finds difficulties in it; he does not abandon it until he is able to find other and alternative systems with fewer difficulties... I learned from my professors of philosophy... that, while philosophy might not provide me with a watertight intellectual defense of the Christian faith, it would, if used aright, help me to reveal the weakness of its enemies. By careful analysis it is possible to see that there are glaring weaknesses and non-sequiturs in atheism, naturalism, positivism, scientism, and psychologism. The Christian must be a fighter, for he is always under attack. The Church will not be as strong as it ought to be until each local pastor uses his precious freedom from outside employment in order to become a scholarly participant in the intellectual struggle of our day and generation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8363</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It will free man from his remaining chains, the chains of gravity which still tie him to this planet.
