What amazes me is that no matter how obscure or generic a TV show might be, there's always someone who'll buy it. As long as the studios recognize this, they can manufacture modest quantities and generate respectable sales.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31641</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All sorts and conditions of men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26259]]></link><description><![CDATA[All sorts and conditions of men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26259</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who boasts of his ancestry praises the merits of another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2504]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who boasts of his ancestry praises the merits of another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2504</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have discovered the secret formula for a carefree old age: iycri = fi (if you cant recall it, forget ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35886]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have discovered the secret formula for a carefree old age: iycri = fi (if you cant recall it, forget it).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35886</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While forbidden fruit is said to taste sweeter, it usually spoils faster. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16428]]></link><description><![CDATA[While forbidden fruit is said to taste sweeter, it usually spoils faster.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Faith, enthusiasm, and passionate intensity in general are substitutes for the self-confidence born of experience and the possession of skill. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53656]]></link><description><![CDATA[Faith, enthusiasm, and passionate intensity in general are substitutes for the self-confidence born of experience and the possession of skill.

Sentimental tears over the happy, simple Christendom of their fathers are a thing of the past. They are proclaiming now their contempt for Christ's character, and their disgust at the very name of love. Scorn and hatred, difference and division, must be more than ever our lot, if we would be the followers of Christ in these days. Conventional religion and polite unbelief are gone forever.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O Conscience, into what abyss of fears And horrors hast thou driven me, out of which  I find no ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9807]]></link><description><![CDATA[O Conscience, into what abyss of fears And horrors hast thou driven me, out of which  I find no way, from deep to deeper plunged.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wise boldly pick up a truth as soon as they hear it.

This happens to us all the time with computers, and nobody thinks of complaining. •Jeff Raskin   Applying computer technology is simply finding the right wrench to pound in the correct screw. •Anonymous   The Programmer's Time-Space Continuum is defined as "Programmers continuously space the time." •Leon Lanthier   Computers are useless - they only give you answers. •Pablo Picasso   "Paradosfunctionoracle" is the term used by technicians to describe the reason no one knows why your computer won't work. •J.
