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[There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54758]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that it hardly becomes any one of us to talk about the rest of us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54758</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Doesn't matter at all.

Her brains are made of gingerbread. Whenthe judgement day comes, God will find six crumbs. Stooping by the coffinlid waiting for something to rise as the something's always did. ImagineHis surprise, bellowing above the general noise, "Where is Effie? Shewas dead." Back to God in a tiny voice: "My name's Maybe."The first crumb said. The number two crumb picked up the song."Might, I'm called. I've done no wrong." Cried the third crumb,"I am Should. Here's our little brother Could and my big sisterWould. Don't punish us for we've been good." And the last crumb, withsome shame, whispered unto God, "My name is Must and with the others,we've been Effie, who isn't alive and never was.

Too often, alas, conversion has been the end as well as the beginning, with the result that some Christians have looked back, with mingled delight and wistfulness to a past event that now seems to have diminished relevance to daily living. We can fully understand, then, the appeal of a movement which promises a new dimension of Christian living, there in the New Testament, and now available in everyday experience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There was always a dark element to our songs, some social commentary. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41404]]></link><description><![CDATA[There was always a dark element to our songs, some social commentary.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41404</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thus can the demigod Authority Make us pay down for our offense by weight  The words of heaven; on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3494]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thus can the demigod Authority Make us pay down for our offense by weight  The words of heaven; on whom it will, it will,   On whom it will not, so: yet still 'tis just.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13842]]></link><description><![CDATA[Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13842</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most important thing is to enjoy your life - to be happy - it's all that matters. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64696]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most important thing is to enjoy your life - to be happy - it's all that matters.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64696</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A little girl at the wedding afterwards asked her mother why the bride changed her mind.
