Thou receivest over and above, that Thou mayest owe; and who hath aught that is not Thine? Thou payest debts, owing nothing; remittest debts, losing nothing. And that have I now said, my God, my life, my holy joy? or what saith any man when he speaks of Thee? Yet woe to him that speaketh not, since mute are even the most eloquent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8471</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're really hoping for a good showing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31775]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're really hoping for a good showing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31775</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The art of the indirect approach can only be mastered, and its full scope appreciated, by study of and reflection ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47262]]></link><description><![CDATA[The art of the indirect approach can only be mastered, and its full scope appreciated, by study of and reflection upon the whole history of war. But we can at least crystallize the lessons into two simple maxims- one negative, the other positive. The first is that, in face of the overwhelming evidence of history, no general is justified in launching his troops to a direct attack upon an enemy firmly in position. The second, that instead of seeking to upset the enemy's equilibrium by one's attack, it must be upset before a real attack is, or can be successfully launched.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Taste is the enemy of creativeness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58660]]></link><description><![CDATA[Taste is the enemy of creativeness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58660</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't want to end up with a situation where we both have a very stringent self-regulatory regime, [but then] ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32871]]></link><description><![CDATA[We don't want to end up with a situation where we both have a very stringent self-regulatory regime, [but then] we have to answer to their data privacy regime as well.

Melanctha was always being left when she was not leaving others. Melanctha Herbert always loved too hard and much too often. She was always full with mystery and subtle movements and denials and vague distrusts and complicated disillusions. Then Melanctha would be sudden and impulsive and unbounded in some faith, and then she would suffer and be strong in her repression. Melanctha Herbert was always seeking rest and quiet and always she could only find new ways to be in trouble.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12546</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dieu et mon droit.
