Abraham was not even furnished with the basic Ten Commandments. And yet, when we turn to the New Testament, it is Abraham who holds the place of honor, and not Moses! Abraham is mentioned over seventy times in the New Testament, and half of these are in the Gospels.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learn to laugh at your troubles and you'll never run out of things to laugh at ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24512]]></link><description><![CDATA[Learn to laugh at your troubles and you'll never run out of things to laugh at]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24512</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All war represents a failure of diplomacy ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12310]]></link><description><![CDATA[All war represents a failure of diplomacy]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ideology has very little to do with "consciousness" -- it is profoundly unconscious. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47515]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ideology has very little to do with "consciousness" -- it is profoundly unconscious.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'd just as soon stay home and raise babies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39352]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'd just as soon stay home and raise babies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The concept is interesting and well-formed, but in order to earn better than a 'C,' the idea must be feasible. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15245]]></link><description><![CDATA[The concept is interesting and well-formed, but in order to earn better than a 'C,' the idea must be feasible. -- A Yale University management professor in response to Fred Smith's paper proposing reliable overnight delivery service.
