He's like this ball of energy. His name was Lawrence Mathis, a manager. He said. 'I like what you're doing, and I'd like to talk to you. What are your plans? What are you doing?' I said, 'You caught me at a bad time, because I'm probably moving home in a couple of months.' But I met with him that next Monday and told him what was going on. He said, 'Give me a year to work with you.' I said, 'l don't have a year. I've got six months, at best.' He said, 'All right. Six months.' Five weeks later we got offered a deal from Broken Bow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37315</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The culture used to move relatively slowly, so you could take aim.

Encased in the skin of a sheep, he pastured with the flock deceiving the shepherd by his costume. In the evening he was shut up by the shepherd in the fold; the gate was closed, and the entrance made thoroughly secure. But the shepherd, returning to the fold during the night to obtain meat for the next day, mistakenly caught up the Wolf instead of a sheep, and killed him instantly. Harm seek.

He returned to his den, and lying down there, pretended to be sick, taking care that his sickness should be publicly known. The beasts expressed their sorrow, and came one by one to his den, where the Lion devoured them. After many of the beasts had thus disappeared, the Fox discovered the trick and presenting himself to the Lion, stood on the outside of the cave, at a respectful distance, and asked him how he was. I am very middling, replied the Lion, but why do you stand without? Pray enter within to talk with me. No, thank you, said the Fox. I notice that there are many prints of feet entering your cave, but I see no trace of any returning. He is wise who is warned by the misfortunes of others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1543</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis better to suffer wrong than do it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62441]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis better to suffer wrong than do it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23453]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23453</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is easy for a somebody to be modest, but it is difficult to be modest when one is a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42926]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is easy for a somebody to be modest, but it is difficult to be modest when one is a nobody.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42926</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a body meet a body going to the Fair, If a body kiss a body need a body care? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23827]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a body meet a body going to the Fair, If a body kiss a body need a body care?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23827</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If one takes pride in one's craft, you won't let a good thing die.

Our argument does not claim that evidences are so clear that faith is not needed. We do intend to imply, however, that the choice of a set of assumptions is a moral choice. Adherence to an epistemology is not something which merely "happens to" a person, but instead it reflects a component of his moral development. In some sense he is, in my judgment, morally responsible for adopting an epistemology even though it can be neither proved nor disproved to the satisfaction of those who oppose it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sharing food with another human being is an intimate act that should not be indulged in lightly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56155]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sharing food with another human being is an intimate act that should not be indulged in lightly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56155</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Humble things become the humble. [Lat., Parvum parva decent.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20023]]></link><description><![CDATA[Humble things become the humble. [Lat., Parvum parva decent.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20023</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like every man of sense and good feeling, I abominate work. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63735]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like every man of sense and good feeling, I abominate work.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63735</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What in the hell would they do with the farm program without us? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34125]]></link><description><![CDATA[What in the hell would they do with the farm program without us?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34125</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Kennedy cooked the soup that Johnson had to eat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40225]]></link><description><![CDATA[Kennedy cooked the soup that Johnson had to eat.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40225</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mathematicians are like Frenchmen: whatever you say to them they translate into their own language and forthwith it is something ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9509]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mathematicians are like Frenchmen: whatever you say to them they translate into their own language and forthwith it is something entirely different.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that's ungrateful has no guilt but one; All other crimes may pass for virtues in him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20905]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that's ungrateful has no guilt but one; All other crimes may pass for virtues in him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20905</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The biggest fool in the world is he who merely does his work supremely well, without attending to appearance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1336]]></link><description><![CDATA[The biggest fool in the world is he who merely does his work supremely well, without attending to appearance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Call it Nature, Fate, Fortune; all these are names of the one and selfsame God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15403]]></link><description><![CDATA[Call it Nature, Fate, Fortune; all these are names of the one and selfsame God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Somebody should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are dying.

But they are not repentance at all... It is the simple truth that that sorrow of heart, that healing and sanctifying pain in which sin is really put away, is not ours in independence of God; it is a saving grace which is begotten in the soul under the impression of sin it owes to the revelation of God in Christ. A man can no more repent than he can do anything else without a motive; and the motive which makes evangelic repentance possible does not enter into his world till he sees God as God makes Himself known in the death of Christ. All true penitents are children of the Cross. Their penitence is not their own creation: it is the reaction towards God produced in their souls by this demonstration of what sin is to Him, and of what His love does to reach and win the sinful.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Complaint is the largest tribute Heaven receives. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9246]]></link><description><![CDATA[Complaint is the largest tribute Heaven receives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Assassinations has never changed the history of the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19327]]></link><description><![CDATA[Assassinations has never changed the history of the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19327</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He wanted to be a Buccaneer, and we want him to be a Buccaneer.
