He insists he had 'legal authority derived from the Constitution and congressional resolution authorizing force.' But the Constitution explicitly requires the president to obey the law. And the post 9/11 congressional resolution authorizing 'all necessary force' in fighting terrorism was made in clear reference to military intervention. It did not scrap the Constitution and allow the president to do whatever he pleased in any area in the name of fighting terrorism.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There must be more to life than having everything.

[Continued tomorrow]  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  February 5, 1998  And let us be grateful beyond words for this: that God will not let us alone until we have learnt it and stand by His side. He troubles us, He brings His disturbing light back and back to us, showing us how coarse and heavy the dying self, seeking her own, is; how horrible it is that any feeling of unforgiveness, accepted and held on to, towards our brother, drives God from our side; how quickly we must do all we can to heal the separation, because we are out in the cold and the dark indeed, if divorced from that Love.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  February 6, 1998  Commemoration of Martyrs of Japan, 1597  Prayer is the expression of a good desire. The human heart is full of restless desires, and the prayers of men consist for the most part of the unsifted petitions which are urged by their varying passions. To desire what is right, and to desire it consistently, and passionately, is the first condition of true living; the desires can be corrected only by truth, the mind must apprehend God, and then it will say, "There is none upon earth that I desire beside Thee.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Come, for the House of Hope is built on sand: bring wine, for the fabric of life is as weak ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19794]]></link><description><![CDATA[Come, for the House of Hope is built on sand: bring wine, for the fabric of life is as weak as the wind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19794</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Guilt once harbored in the conscious breast, intimidates the brave, degrades the great. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18499]]></link><description><![CDATA[Guilt once harbored in the conscious breast, intimidates the brave, degrades the great.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18499</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Supplies of imported coal into the United States are expected to increase substantially over the next several years as power ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37666]]></link><description><![CDATA[Supplies of imported coal into the United States are expected to increase substantially over the next several years as power generators and other industrial end users work to comply with stricter air emission standards, and as production from the Central Appalachian coal basin continues to decline.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Playing safe is only playing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22324]]></link><description><![CDATA[Playing safe is only playing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History is nothing but a pack of tricks that we play upon the dead. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19424]]></link><description><![CDATA[History is nothing but a pack of tricks that we play upon the dead.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19424</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first service a child doth his father is to make him foolish. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49852]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first service a child doth his father is to make him foolish.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49852</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15075]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15075</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of praise a mere glutton, he swallow'd what came, And the puff a dunce, he mistook it for fame;  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16160]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of praise a mere glutton, he swallow'd what came, And the puff a dunce, he mistook it for fame;  Till his relish grown callous, almost to displease,   Who pepper'd the highest was surest to please.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16160</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't trust anyone over 30 who used to say "Don't trust anyone over 30.". ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1420]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't trust anyone over 30 who used to say "Don't trust anyone over 30.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To reach something good it is very useful to have gone astray, and thus acquire experience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64488]]></link><description><![CDATA[To reach something good it is very useful to have gone astray, and thus acquire experience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some have said that the power of a Redeemer would depend upon two things: first, upon the richness of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8248]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some have said that the power of a Redeemer would depend upon two things: first, upon the richness of the self that was given; and second, upon the depths of the giving. Friend and foe alike are agreed on the question of the character of Jesus Christ... Whatever our creed, we stand with admiration before the sublime character of Jesus. Character is supreme in life, and hence Jesus stood supreme in the supreme thing -- so supreme that, when we think of the ideal, we do not add virtue to virtue, but think of Jesus Christ, so that the standard of human life is no longer a code, but a character.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I learned not to blink in a close-up or move your head at all, because if you did, they wouldn't ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35101]]></link><description><![CDATA[I learned not to blink in a close-up or move your head at all, because if you did, they wouldn't use it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35101</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou breathing dial! since thy day began The present hour was ever mark'd with shade. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58315]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou breathing dial! since thy day began The present hour was ever mark'd with shade.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58315</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The deadliest foe of democracy is not autocracy but liberty frenzied. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47548]]></link><description><![CDATA[The deadliest foe of democracy is not autocracy but liberty frenzied.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have to block everything out and be extremely focused and be relaxed and mellow too. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16300]]></link><description><![CDATA[You have to block everything out and be extremely focused and be relaxed and mellow too.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16300</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The death-bed of a day, how beautiful! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58325]]></link><description><![CDATA[The death-bed of a day, how beautiful!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58325</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46256]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You'll see things "you never knew you never knew.". ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21653]]></link><description><![CDATA[You'll see things "you never knew you never knew.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's never too late to give someone a a second chance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63004]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's never too late to give someone a a second chance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63004</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The last four games we had great practices.
