I remember we'd all pile into the car - I forget what kind it was - and drive and drive. I'm not sure where we'd go, but I think there were some trees there. The smell of something was strong in the air as we played whatever sport we played. I remember a bigger, older guy we called "Dad." We'd eat some stuff, or not, and then I think we went home. I guess some things never leave you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11730</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Somehow our devils are never quite what we expect when we meet them face to face. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12125]]></link><description><![CDATA[Somehow our devils are never quite what we expect when we meet them face to face.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12125</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The longer one lives, the more one realizes that nothing is a dish for every day. - The Oracle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27985]]></link><description><![CDATA[The longer one lives, the more one realizes that nothing is a dish for every day. - The Oracle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only way a woman can ever reform her husband is by boring him so completely that he loses all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26404]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only way a woman can ever reform her husband is by boring him so completely that he loses all possible interest in life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26404</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An entrepreneur assumes the risk and is dedicated and committed to the success of whatever he or she undertakes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13983]]></link><description><![CDATA[An entrepreneur assumes the risk and is dedicated and committed to the success of whatever he or she undertakes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13983</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She bears a duke's revenues on her back, And in her heart she scorns our poverty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48209]]></link><description><![CDATA[She bears a duke's revenues on her back, And in her heart she scorns our poverty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It doesn't seem like very long ago that we were the new kids on the block, and really tried to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29989]]></link><description><![CDATA[It doesn't seem like very long ago that we were the new kids on the block, and really tried to claw our way up from the rear of the pack, so it's a very exciting feeling for us to come in and be as confident as we are.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29989</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks.

So burdened were men with their wickedness that they seemed rather to be brute beasts than reasonable men, reflecting the very likeness of the Word. What, then, was God to do? What else could He possibly do, being God, but renew His Image in mankind, so that through it men might once more come to know Him? And how could this be done save by the coming of the very Image Himself, our Savior Jesus Christ?... Men had turned from the contemplation of God above, and were looking for Him in two opposite directions, down among created things, and things of sense. The Savior of us all, the Word of God, in His great love took to Himself a body and moved as Man among men, meeting their senses, so to speak, half-way. He became Himself an object for the senses, so that those who were seeking God in sensible things might apprehend the Father through the works which He, the Word of God, did in the body.

Perceiving their simplicity, he cast down a huge log into the lake. The Frogs were terrified at the splash occasioned by its fall and hid themselves in the depths of the pool. But as soon as they realized that the huge log was motionless, they swam again to the top of the water, dismissed their fears, climbed up, and began squatting on it in contempt. After some time they began to think themselves ill-treated in the appointment of so inert a Ruler, and sent a second deputation to Jupiter to pray that he would set over them another sovereign. He then gave them an Eel to govern them. When the Frogs discovered his easy good nature, they sent yet a third time to Jupiter to beg him to choose for them still another King. Jupiter, displeased with all their complaints, sent a Heron, who preyed upon the Frogs day by day till there were none left to croak upon the lake.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best weapon of a dictatorship is secrecy, but the best weapon of a democracy should be the weapon of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61468]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best weapon of a dictatorship is secrecy, but the best weapon of a democracy should be the weapon of openness]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The multitude is always in the wrong. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47492]]></link><description><![CDATA[The multitude is always in the wrong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[Larry Adams, 33, has been confined to a room in University Medical Center since April, when he received an artificial ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40395]]></link><description><![CDATA[[Larry Adams, 33, has been confined to a room in University Medical Center since April, when he received an artificial heart.
