I'm not saying we invented it -- we drew influence from the Damned and the Misfits -- but it wasn't very popular when we started doing it.

Never mind if it all seems for the time very second-hand. The less you get out of it, the nearer it approaches to being something worth offering; and the humiliation of not being able to feel as devout as we want to be, is excellent for most of us. Use vocal prayer... very slowly, trying to realize the meaning with which it is charged and remember that... you are only a unit in the Chorus of the Church, so that the others will make good the shortcomings you cannot help.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7719</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The worst thing that can happen to a good cause is, not to be skillfully attacked, but to be ineptly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56935]]></link><description><![CDATA[The worst thing that can happen to a good cause is, not to be skillfully attacked, but to be ineptly defended.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56935</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hope" is the thing with feathers- that perches in the soul... -Emily Dickenson. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19817]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hope" is the thing with feathers- that perches in the soul... -Emily Dickenson.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19817</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Philosophy is a study that lets us be unhappy more intelligently. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46528]]></link><description><![CDATA[Philosophy is a study that lets us be unhappy more intelligently.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46528</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is so well calculated to produce a death-like torpor in the country as an extended system of taxation and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15786]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is so well calculated to produce a death-like torpor in the country as an extended system of taxation and a great national debt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15786</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you can't describe what you are doing as a process, you don't know what you're doing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62947]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you can't describe what you are doing as a process, you don't know what you're doing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62947</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing like a lot of exercise to make you realize you'd rather be lazy and dead sooner. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65946]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing like a lot of exercise to make you realize you'd rather be lazy and dead sooner.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Weeding is plant racism. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43690]]></link><description><![CDATA[Weeding is plant racism.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43690</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest thing a man can do in this world is to make the most possible out of the stuff ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45080]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest thing a man can do in this world is to make the most possible out of the stuff that has been given him.

In the beginning, John the Baptist had taught his disciples to expect from Christ the baptism -- not of water only, as in his baptism -- but of the Spirit. Before His death, Jesus had sought to fill His disciples' minds with the expectation of this gift... And that Spirit had come in sensible power upon them some ten days after Jesus disappeared for the last time from their eyes... And this Spirit was the Spirit of God, but also, and therefore, the Spirit of Jesus. Jesus was not then merely a past example, or a remote Lord, but an inward presence and power. A mere example in past history becomes in experience a feebler and feebler power... But the example of Jesus was something much more than a memory. For He who had taught them in the past how to live was alive in the heavenly places and was working within them by His Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8056</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our children. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15166]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our children.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Politics, n: Poly "many" + tics "blood-sucking parasites". ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47060]]></link><description><![CDATA[Politics, n: Poly "many" + tics "blood-sucking parasites".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47060</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's why we brought LaMont Jordan here, to run the ball.
