It is not enthusiasm, but dogma, that differentiates a Christian from a pagan society.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44721]]></link><description><![CDATA[Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44721</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A cardinal principle of Total Quality escapes too many managers: you cannot continuously improve interdependent systems and processes until you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5129]]></link><description><![CDATA[A cardinal principle of Total Quality escapes too many managers: you cannot continuously improve interdependent systems and processes until you progressively perfect interdependent, interpersonal relationships.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5129</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Science is all metaphor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64444]]></link><description><![CDATA[Science is all metaphor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64444</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's got a master plan for everything, and it's still following that. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31729]]></link><description><![CDATA[He's got a master plan for everything, and it's still following that.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31729</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The depth of darkness to which you can descend and still live is an exactmeasure of the height to which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21558]]></link><description><![CDATA[The depth of darkness to which you can descend and still live is an exactmeasure of the height to which you can aspire to reach.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men of noble birth are noted to be envious towards new men when they rise.
