You may be translating oracles, but soon you learn the risk and folly of posing as an oracle yourself. If your readers are dissatisfied at any point, they may be sure that the translator is still more dissatisfied, if not there, then elsewhere -- all the more so, because, in the nature of the case, he has always to appear dogmatic in print.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We think the market is ready to tip, and when a market tips, it can accelerate very quickly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36882]]></link><description><![CDATA[We think the market is ready to tip, and when a market tips, it can accelerate very quickly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36882</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art is the triumph over chaos. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5615]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art is the triumph over chaos.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He ceased: but left so charming on their ear His voice, that listening still they seemed to hear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60913]]></link><description><![CDATA[He ceased: but left so charming on their ear His voice, that listening still they seemed to hear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You definitely have to respect this place, as we learned in the past with my father and my grandfather ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â€Âœ ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41465]]></link><description><![CDATA[You definitely have to respect this place, as we learned in the past with my father and my grandfather ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â€Âœ both had a lot of unfortunate luck here.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41465</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am not interested in power for power's sake, but I'm interested in power that is moral, that is right ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47915]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am not interested in power for power's sake, but I'm interested in power that is moral, that is right and that is good.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They met on the streets of Seattle.
