The country was only recently reunited, back in 1990. You have about 16 to 17 million people; you have about 50 million guns. It's basically a country that is pretty trigger happy.

And yet the saving principles of the world are rooted in Christ, implanted in him; the Truth by which men live is the Truth as taught and lived by Jesus.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6504</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yes, there are times when something is legitimately not our fault.

In the winter of 1824, there set in a great flood upon that town--the tide rose to an incredible height: the waves rushed in upon the houses, and everything was threatened with destruction. In the midst of this sublime and terrible storm, Dame Partington, who lived upon the beach, was seen at the door of her house with mop and pattens, trundling her mop, squeezing out the sea water, and vigorously pushing away the Atlantic Ocean. The Atlantic was roused. Mrs. Partington's spirit was up; but I need not tell you that the contest was unequal. The Atlantic Ocean beat Mrs. Partington. She was excellent at a slop or a puddle, but she should not have meddled with a tempest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36748]]></link><description><![CDATA[The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36748</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My personal feeling is weÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â„Â¢re not going to see the price of oil and the price at the pump go ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31139]]></link><description><![CDATA[My personal feeling is weÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â„Â¢re not going to see the price of oil and the price at the pump go down for a long time, ...
