But the investment was so big they felt compelled to go on. Since its completion, it cost a fortune to maintain and is still in danger of collapsing. There are no plans to replace it, since it was never needed in the first place. I expect every installation has its own pet software which is analogous to the above.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Please provide the date of your death. (From An IRS Letter) ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28155]]></link><description><![CDATA[Please provide the date of your death. (From An IRS Letter)]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28155</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're very excited about these stem cells.

The foreground of prayer is the intense, immediate desire for a certain blessing which seems to be absolutely necessary for the soul to have; the background of prayer is the quiet, earnest desire that the will of God, whatever it may be, should be done. What a picture is the perfect prayer of Jesus in Gethsemane! In front burns the strong desire to escape death and to live; but behind there stands, calm and strong, the craving of the whole life for the doing of the will of God... Leave out the foreground, let there be no expression of the will of him who prays, and there is left a pure submission which is almost fatalism. Leave out the background, let there be no acceptance of the will of God, and the prayer is only an expression of self-will, a petulant claiming of the uncorrected choice of him who prays. Only when the two are there together, the special desire resting on the universal submission, the universal submission opening into the special desire, is the picture perfect and the prayer complete.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hardest thing in golf is trying to two-putt when you have to, because your brain isn't wired that way. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65398]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hardest thing in golf is trying to two-putt when you have to, because your brain isn't wired that way.

If He should now come, would He find it in us? What fruits of faith have we to show? Do we look upon this life only as a short passage to a better? Do we believe that we must suffer with Jesus Christ before we can reign with Him? Do we consider this world as a deceitful appearance, and death as the entrance to true happiness? Do we live by faith? Does it animate us? Do we relish the eternal truths it presents us with? Are we as careful to nourish our souls with those truths as to maintain our bodies with proper diet? Do we accustom ourselves to see all things in the light of faith? Do we correct all our judgements by it?  Alas! The greater part of Christians think and act like mere heathens; if we judge (as we justly may) of their faith by their practice, we must conclude they have no faith at all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I stand here before you not as a prophet, but as a humble servant of you, the people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66441]]></link><description><![CDATA[I stand here before you not as a prophet, but as a humble servant of you, the people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66441</guid></item></channel></rss>
