Whatever their impact, they must not be seen as a substitute for more wide-ranging reforms aimed at the complete abolition of the death penalty in China.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41752</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Clearly the barrier to the use of the drug off label has been raised, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32922]]></link><description><![CDATA[Clearly the barrier to the use of the drug off label has been raised,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32922</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hell, there are no rules here - we're trying to accomplish something. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5113]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hell, there are no rules here - we're trying to accomplish something.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5113</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the habitually even-tempered suddenly fly into a passion, that explosion is apt to be more impressive than the outburst ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45627]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the habitually even-tempered suddenly fly into a passion, that explosion is apt to be more impressive than the outburst of the most violent amongst us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45627</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some people wanted champagne and caviar when they should have had beer and hot dogs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11973]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some people wanted champagne and caviar when they should have had beer and hot dogs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11973</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Polycarp, Bishop of Smyrna, Martyr, c.155  Jesus evidently felt deeply the emptiness and futility of much... religious ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7140]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Polycarp, Bishop of Smyrna, Martyr, c.155  Jesus evidently felt deeply the emptiness and futility of much... religious talk. He was interested only in those emotions and professions which could get themselves translated into character and action. Words have always been the bane of religion as well as its vehicle. Religious emotion has enormous motive force, but it is the easiest thing in the world for it to sizzle away in high professions and wordy prayers. In that case, it is a substitute and counterfeit, and a damage to the Reign of God among men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7140</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They were selling as soon as they hit the ground. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36088]]></link><description><![CDATA[They were selling as soon as they hit the ground.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36088</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Talk to a man about himself and he will listen for hours. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52184]]></link><description><![CDATA[Talk to a man about himself and he will listen for hours.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52184</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To the humblest among them, who may be listening to me now, I want to say that the masterpiece to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66653]]></link><description><![CDATA[To the humblest among them, who may be listening to me now, I want to say that the masterpiece to which you are paying historic homage this evening is a painting which he has saved.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The happiest business in all the world is that of making friends, And no investment on the street pays larger ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17004]]></link><description><![CDATA[The happiest business in all the world is that of making friends, And no investment on the street pays larger dividends, For life is more than stocks and bonds, and love than rate percent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17004</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48302]]></link><description><![CDATA[Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And let our barks across the pathless flood Hold different courses. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56183]]></link><description><![CDATA[And let our barks across the pathless flood Hold different courses.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Iran is ready to provide any guarantees that our nuclear activities are not geared toward nuclear weapon production. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35721]]></link><description><![CDATA[Iran is ready to provide any guarantees that our nuclear activities are not geared toward nuclear weapon production.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35721</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Phillips Brooks, Bishop of Massachusetts, spiritual writer, 1893   In prayer we express deep penitence and contrition ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8001]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Phillips Brooks, Bishop of Massachusetts, spiritual writer, 1893   In prayer we express deep penitence and contrition for our shortcomings, using sorrowful and self-accusing words. And this often in all sincerity. But, at other times, we are not really much disturbed about it; or, at least, not nearly so much as our heaped-up language would imply. What we imagine that we are achieving through this unreality I do not know. We shall not fool the All-wise; nor induce Him to believe that we are anything other, or better, than we actually are! Were it not saner to tell Him the truth, exactly as it is -- not that we are overwhelmed with sorrow for our sinfulness, if it is not so; but rather this, that, to all our other sinfulness, we have added this last and crowning sinfulness, that we are not much worried about it, or, at least, not nearly as much as we ought to be. Be pleased, in pity, to grant us such measure of sorrow for our failures as will lead us to a true repentance; and, through that, to a new way of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It just broke their backs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36077]]></link><description><![CDATA[It just broke their backs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36077</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is going to be an interesting budget year.
