It is often assumed that the Church exercises little such influence and ought to exercise none; it is further assumed that this assumption is self-evident and has always been made by reasonable men. As a matter of fact the assumption is entirely modern and unjustified.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If anything, things have gotten worse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42189]]></link><description><![CDATA[If anything, things have gotten worse.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have in place a process through which we are carefully reviewing a range of options to increase the value ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34165]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have in place a process through which we are carefully reviewing a range of options to increase the value of our company, including those proposed by Mr. Icahn and his group.

For it is in love that we find the greatest of strengths and the deepest of sorrows. Love can seem to be so fleeting and unachievable yet it remains well within our reach if we only learn how to embrace it's power. To experience true love, we must be willing to open ourselves up and sacrifice part of our heart and part of our soul. We must be willing to give of ourselves freely, and we must be willing to suffer. It is only when we expose our inner selves to the white hot flame of rejection, that love can burn so brightly as to join to souls, melding the two into one, creating a bond that joins forever. It is from this bond that we draw strength eternal and power ever lasting. It is in this thing that we call love that we find the means to achieve greatness, both in ourselves and in our lives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25636</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are no tragedies, just facts not recognized in time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59542]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are no tragedies, just facts not recognized in time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rest when you're weary.

But, since we are concerned with an occurrence which is by hypothesis unique in certain relevant aspects, we are most unlikely to be able to give confident answers to them. [Paul M.] van Buren's remarks about biology and the twentieth century are nothing more than rhetoric or, at best, are simply empirical statements about his own psychology. The first century knew as well as the twentieth that dead bodies do not naturally come to life again, and no amount of twentieth-century knowledge about natural processes can tell us what may happen by supernatural means.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6212</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at allTogether we stand, divided we fall. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15472]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at allTogether we stand, divided we fall.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15472</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An oyster may be crossed in love!
