He must discipline himself not to act on problems his managers can solve, and never to act on problems when he is explicitly reviewing status. I once knew a boss who invariably picked up the phone to give orders before the end of the first paragraph in a status report. That response is guaranteed to squelch full disclosure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we let people see that kind of thing, there would never again be any war. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47274]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we let people see that kind of thing, there would never again be any war.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47274</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It takes a long time to bring excellence to maturity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26576]]></link><description><![CDATA[It takes a long time to bring excellence to maturity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Communism possesses a language which every people can understand - its elements are hunger, envy, and death ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9086]]></link><description><![CDATA[Communism possesses a language which every people can understand - its elements are hunger, envy, and death]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9086</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60129]]></link><description><![CDATA[Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60129</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While technically I did not commit a crime, an impeachable offense... these are legalisms, as far as the handling of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47312]]></link><description><![CDATA[While technically I did not commit a crime, an impeachable offense... these are legalisms, as far as the handling of this matter is concerned; it was so botched up, I made so many bad judgments.

And one of the games to which it is most attached is called, ''Keep tomorrow dark,'' and which is also named (by the rustics in Shropshire, I have no doubt) ''Cheat the Prophet.'' The players listen very carefully and respectfully to all that the clever men have to say about what is to happen in the next generation. The players then wait until all the clever men are dead, and bury them nicely. Then they go and do something else. That is all. For a race of simple tastes, however, it is great fun.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To perpetuate the clerical role of answer man, the layman when inside the church building must act as if he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6356]]></link><description><![CDATA[To perpetuate the clerical role of answer man, the layman when inside the church building must act as if he has only half a brain, while outside, in the world, he is expected to be an ambassador for Christ, a lay transmitter of faith. Outside, he is to be informed and vocal; inside, he must appear ignorant and mute as a sheep. Christians have within them many questions -- questions that are at once elementary and profound, questions that would ripple the water were they raised. However, because a Christian is supposed to have "answers", life's important questions are not discussed outside the church building; and, because the pastor is the educated, spiritual authority, they are not discussed inside either.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Long-range planning works best in the short term. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9879]]></link><description><![CDATA[Long-range planning works best in the short term.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9879</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The history of the denial of the Armenian genocide has passed through several phases... all characterized by efforts to avoid ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17357]]></link><description><![CDATA[The history of the denial of the Armenian genocide has passed through several phases... all characterized by efforts to avoid responsibility and the moral, material, and political consequences of admission.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we wanted to do more than anything was to get people in there and into our jeans. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34622]]></link><description><![CDATA[What we wanted to do more than anything was to get people in there and into our jeans.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34622</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Abrams's Advice: When eating an elephant, take one bite at a time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24343]]></link><description><![CDATA[Abrams's Advice: When eating an elephant, take one bite at a time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61746]]></link><description><![CDATA[No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61746</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The last struggle for our rights, the battle for our civilization is entirely with ourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57998]]></link><description><![CDATA[The last struggle for our rights, the battle for our civilization is entirely with ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We feel completely vindicated by the sentencing.
