They never would have allowed us to be inundated with traffic out here. The city never accepted responsibility for this. They do this all over. They give carte blanche to developers. I firmly believe that's why the church was annexed into the city. I firmly believe that's why they never talked to us and they never got a development order.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37462</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beauty is simply reality seen with the eyes of love ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3825]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beauty is simply reality seen with the eyes of love]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3825</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age.

And when they are wicked, the Humanitarian theory of punishment will put in their hands a finer instrument of tyranny than wickedness ever had before. For if crime and disease are to be regarded as the same thing, it follows that any state of mind which our masters choose to call 'disease' can be treated as crime, and compulsorily cured. It will be vain to plead that states of mind which displease the government need not always involve moral turpitude and do not therefore always deserve forfeiture of liberty. For our masters will not be using the concepts of Desert and Punishment but those of disease and cure. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8555</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Honest criticism is hard to take - especially when it comes from a relative, a friend, an acquaintance, or a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10756]]></link><description><![CDATA[Honest criticism is hard to take - especially when it comes from a relative, a friend, an acquaintance, or a stranger.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And say to mothers what a holy charge Is theirs--with what a kingly power their love  Might rule the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43212]]></link><description><![CDATA[And say to mothers what a holy charge Is theirs--with what a kingly power their love  Might rule the fountains of the new-born mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43212</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Elijah went before the people and said, How long will you waver between two opinions?
