The high infant mortality rate on reservations is due to devastating poverty. Yet the state has not passed any laws in the last several years that would boost any of the health or education programs within the reservation community. As for tribal sovereignty, the only time the state wants to recognize it is when it benefits the state, as in this instance when it allows Senator Napoli to opt out of an intelligent response.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a natural extension of location services we've seen serving the business market to track workers and employees.

And even the cynical, the unbelieving and half-believing reader who goes with Christian to the end of the road must be a little shaken, may tremble to see something like a gate and also some of the glory of the place, and, glimpsing something of the company within the golden gates, may wish himself among them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man can become so accustomed to the thought of his own faults that he will begin to cherish them ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15434]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man can become so accustomed to the thought of his own faults that he will begin to cherish them as charming little "personal characteristics."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Instinct perfected is a faculty of using and even constructing organized instruments; intelligence perfected is the faculty of making and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22875]]></link><description><![CDATA[Instinct perfected is a faculty of using and even constructing organized instruments; intelligence perfected is the faculty of making and using unorganized instruments.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22875</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hate quotation.

But God does not require us to carry the whole at once. He mercifully unties the bundle, and gives us first one stick, which we are to carry today, and then another, which we are to carry tomorrow, and so on. This we might easily manage, if we would only take the burden appointed for each day; but we choose to increase our troubles by carrying yesterday's stick over again today, and adding tomorrow's burden to the load, before we are required to bear it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8112</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Always rise from the table with an appetite, and you will never sit down without one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/204]]></link><description><![CDATA[Always rise from the table with an appetite, and you will never sit down without one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/204</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A diplomat these days is nothing but a head-waiter who's allowed to sit down occasionally. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12319]]></link><description><![CDATA[A diplomat these days is nothing but a head-waiter who's allowed to sit down occasionally.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you count all your assets, you always show a profit ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48340]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you count all your assets, you always show a profit]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48340</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Luck is a dividend of sweat.

What a comfort it is to know the Man in charge of it all. Without Him, it would be easy to think that the whole of time and space, and life itself, are without reason, purpose, or meaning -- as H. G. Wells said, that it is "a bad joke beyond our unterstanding, a flare of vulgarity, an empty laugh braying across the mysteries." With Jesus forever between God and us, we can understand a few things, and trust Him for the rest. After all, He is one of us: a baby once, as we all were; then, and forever after, a Man, as we all shall always be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7309</guid></item></channel></rss>
