When you make a choice, you mobilizevast human energies and resources which otherwise go untapped. All toooften people fail to focus their choices upon results and therefore theirchoices are ineffective.

A washing machine gave them time to do something else. It gave them time to read a book. ... A woman didn't want to cook all day. These things that were sold to Americans were actually a gift, in a very strange way. I really enjoyed having to blow that notion out of my head.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37199</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sex alleviates tension.

What dreadful noise of waters in mine ears! What ugly sights of death within mine eyes! Methought I saw a thousand fearful wrecks, Ten thousand men that fishes gnawed upon, Wedges of gold, great anchors, heaps of pearl, Inestimable stones, unvalued jewels, All scattered in the bottom of the sea: Some lay in dead men's skulls; and in those holes Where eyes did once inhabit, there were crept, As 't were in scorn of eyes, reflecting gems. -King Richard III.

It involves the conceptions of authoritative examination, of unquestionable proof, of decisive judgment, of punitive power. Whatever the final issue may be, he who "convicts" another must place the truth of the case in a clear light before him, so that it must be seen and acknowledged as truth. He who then rejects the conclusion which the exposition involves, rejects it with his eyes open and at his peril. Truth seen as truth carries with it condemnation to all who refuse to welcome it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Propaganda must not serve the truth, especially insofar as it might bring out something favorable for the opponent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48425]]></link><description><![CDATA[Propaganda must not serve the truth, especially insofar as it might bring out something favorable for the opponent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's obviously a ton of money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36027]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's obviously a ton of money.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36027</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not seek death.
