This creates a chasm between us that admittedly will be very hard to bridge ... Our job is not to give the public what they think they want because what they want changes or is wrong. Look at how it changed after 9/11. Before 9/11 the public was less interested, according to every survey, in Islam or international news. After 9/11, they asked, 'How come you didn't tell us more about Islam and what was going on?' What the public wants is more about Brad and Angelina.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tact is the art of making a point without making an enemy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58540]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tact is the art of making a point without making an enemy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58540</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Museums are the cemeteries of the arts ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43413]]></link><description><![CDATA[Museums are the cemeteries of the arts]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43413</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.

I think that the Catholic Church ought to have maintained and used ecclesiastical and sacerdotal authority, but that its maintenance and its use ought to have been accompanied with a continual fear. Because they had before them this fact, that however divinely authoritative, however securely resting on a basis of legitimate and genuine inspiration, yet the ecclesiastical authority of the Old Covenant, by no process of sudden revolution, but simply by a process of gradual development, was capable of becoming something so utterly alien in spirit from what it was intended to be, that when the Christ came, to prepare for whom and to welcome whom was the one reason for which it existed, it did in fact reject Him utterly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each night the Tree of Nutout of naught knits neat nuts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62658]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each night the Tree of Nutout of naught knits neat nuts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They say life's what happens when you're busy making other plans.

But, since we are concerned with an occurrence which is by hypothesis unique in certain relevant aspects, we are most unlikely to be able to give confident answers to them. [Paul M.] van Buren's remarks about biology and the twentieth century are nothing more than rhetoric or, at best, are simply empirical statements about his own psychology. The first century knew as well as the twentieth that dead bodies do not naturally come to life again, and no amount of twentieth-century knowledge about natural processes can tell us what may happen by supernatural means.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6212</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the mind is in a state of uncertainty the smallest impulse directs it to either side. [Lat., Dum in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60022]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the mind is in a state of uncertainty the smallest impulse directs it to either side. [Lat., Dum in dubio est animus, paulo momento huc illuc impellitur.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60022</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We saw Pang's application and it seemed she would be a very good fit for this family. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30497]]></link><description><![CDATA[We saw Pang's application and it seemed she would be a very good fit for this family.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Superstitions are, for the most part, but the shadows of great truths. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58363]]></link><description><![CDATA[Superstitions are, for the most part, but the shadows of great truths.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58363</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The news of the open military help to Franco from Hitler and Mussolini, and the heroic resistance of the people ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30177]]></link><description><![CDATA[The news of the open military help to Franco from Hitler and Mussolini, and the heroic resistance of the people of Madrid, Barcelona and the big cities fired a widespread wish to help the Republic and its people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An imitative creature is man; whoever is foremost, leads the herd. [Ger., Der Mensch ist ein nachahmendes Geschopf.  Und ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20573]]></link><description><![CDATA[An imitative creature is man; whoever is foremost, leads the herd. [Ger., Der Mensch ist ein nachahmendes Geschopf.  Und wer Vorderste ist, fuhrt die Heerde.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're essentially at the same location as the old Isthmus Playhouse.
