Of its holiness. I've learned that music is a very powerful force, not to be trivialized or watered down or maufactured into soul-less, mindless drivel. Selling out to the corporate butcher would secure me a nice little place in hell, I knew. So I determined early on to make it on my own.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of William Augustus Muhlenberg of New York, Priest, 1877  The ordinary group of worshipping Christians, as the preacher ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7155]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of William Augustus Muhlenberg of New York, Priest, 1877  The ordinary group of worshipping Christians, as the preacher sees them from the pulpit, does not look like a collection of very joyful people, in fact, they look on the whole rather sad, tired, depressed people. It is certain that such people will never win the world for Christ... It is no use trying to pretend: we may speak of joy and preach about it: but, unless we really have the joy of Christ in our hearts and manifest it, our words will carry no conviction to our hearers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7155</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I like cliffhangers, with the hero in trouble at the end.

He's good in the bullpen with the younger guys and he's free with his advice and he speaks his mind and sometimes it isn't always a kind remark.

He's the type of person who will do that.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30290</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And if you can't keep your ego under control, it's going to cost you a lot of money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28611]]></link><description><![CDATA[And if you can't keep your ego under control, it's going to cost you a lot of money.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28611</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatever you say it is, it isn't. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55092]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whatever you say it is, it isn't.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/55092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In solitude, where we are least alone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57157]]></link><description><![CDATA[In solitude, where we are least alone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In terms of the game theory, we might say the universe is so constituted as to maximize play.

The best games are not those in which all goes smoothly and steadily toward a certain conclusion, but those in which the outcome is always in doubt. Similarly, the geometry of life is designed to keep us at the point of maximum tension between certainty and uncertainty, order and chaos. Every important call is a close one. We survive and evolve by the skin of our teeth. We really wouldn't want it any other way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1161</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A satellite has no conscience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9308]]></link><description><![CDATA[A satellite has no conscience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Being right too soon is socially unacceptable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56979]]></link><description><![CDATA[Being right too soon is socially unacceptable.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They that approve a private opinion, call it opinion; but they that dislike it, heresy; and yet heresy signifies no ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19206]]></link><description><![CDATA[They that approve a private opinion, call it opinion; but they that dislike it, heresy; and yet heresy signifies no more than private opinion]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By working faithfully eight hours a day, you may get to be a boss and work twelve hours a day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62106]]></link><description><![CDATA[By working faithfully eight hours a day, you may get to be a boss and work twelve hours a day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I, whenever I see thee, thirst, and holding the cup, apply it to my lips more for thy sake than ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59408]]></link><description><![CDATA[I, whenever I see thee, thirst, and holding the cup, apply it to my lips more for thy sake than for drinking.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If your work is becoming uninteresting, so are you.

I have always wagered against God and I regard the little that I have won in this world as simply the outcome of this bet.

But there in hell--that is, beyond a fixed boundary set by God--all the securities and safeguards disappear into thin air. What here is only a tiny flame of secret self-reproach that flickers up occasionally and is quickly smothered, there becomes a scorching fire. What here is no more than a slight ticking sound in our conscience suddenly becomes the trumpet tone of judgment which can no longer be ignored. Lazarus is permitted to see what he believed, but the rich man is compelled to see what he did not believe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[like an aging Pete Townshend kind of guy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35152]]></link><description><![CDATA[like an aging Pete Townshend kind of guy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35152</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Growth will continue.
