So he is courting the party's most loyal voters at every opportunity. At a time when there is little federal money to spread around, Gore has championed the Administration's empowerment-zone program, which pours millions of dollars into depressed areas like inner Detroit. During the fall campaign, he visited black churches on Sundays with a rousing sermon that an aide described as] very un-Al Gore, ...

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[The White House Web site is and always has been consistent with the OMB guidance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33038]]></link><description><![CDATA[The White House Web site is and always has been consistent with the OMB guidance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33038</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It might sound a paradoxical thing to say --for surely never has a generation of children occupied more sheer hours ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5976]]></link><description><![CDATA[It might sound a paradoxical thing to say --for surely never has a generation of children occupied more sheer hours of parental time --but the truth is that we neglected you. We allowed you a charade of trivial freedoms in order to avoid making those impositions on you that are in the end both the training ground and proving ground for true independence. We pronounced you strong when you were still weak in order to avoid the struggles with you that would have fed your true strength. We proclaimed you sound when you were foolish in order to avoid taking part in the long, slow, slogging effort that is the only route to genuine maturity of mind and feeling. Thus, it was no small anomaly of your growing up that while you were the most indulged generation, you were also in many ways the most abandoned to your own meager devices by those into whose safe-keeping you had been given.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time is more valuable than money.

First, that the truth of the Scriptures be inviolably maintained. Secondly, since Scripture doth admit of diverse interpretations, that no one cling to any particular exposition with such pertinacity that, if what he supposed to be the teaching of Scripture should afterward turn out to be clearly false, he should nevertheless still presume to put it forward, lest thereby the sacred Scriptures should be exposed to the derision of unbelievers and the way of salvation should be closed to them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8572</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What happens if you get scared half to death twice?. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11426]]></link><description><![CDATA[What happens if you get scared half to death twice?.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It requires more courage to suffer than to die. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58224]]></link><description><![CDATA[It requires more courage to suffer than to die.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Goatherd and the Wild GoatsA goatherd, driving his flock from their pasture at eventide, found some Wild Goats mingled ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1562]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Goatherd and the Wild GoatsA goatherd, driving his flock from their pasture at eventide, found some Wild Goats mingled among them, and shut them up together with his own for the night. The next day it snowed very hard, so that he could not take the herd to their usual feeding places, but was obliged to keep them in the fold. He gave his own goats just sufficient food to keep them alive, but fed the strangers more abundantly in the hope of enticing them to stay with him and of making them his own. When the thaw set in, he led them all out to feed, and the Wild Goats scampered away as fast as they could to the mountains. The Goatherd scolded them for their ingratitude in leaving him, when during the storm he had taken more care of them than of his own herd. One of them, turning about, said to him: That is the very reason why we are so cautious; for if you yesterday treated us better than the Goats you have had so long, it is plain also that if others came after us, you would in the same manner prefer them to ourselves. Old friends cannot with impunity be sacrificed for new ones.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1562</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Enough has... been said to show that the impoverished secularized versions of Christianity which are being urged upon us for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6558]]></link><description><![CDATA[Enough has... been said to show that the impoverished secularized versions of Christianity which are being urged upon us for our acceptance today rest not upon a serious application of the methods of scientific scholarship nor upon a serious intuitive appreciation of the Gospels as a whole in their natural context, but upon a radical distaste for the supernatural.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Common sense is perhaps the most equally divided, but surely the most under-employed, talent in the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58591]]></link><description><![CDATA[Common sense is perhaps the most equally divided, but surely the most under-employed, talent in the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58591</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Well languag'd Danyel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23995]]></link><description><![CDATA[Well languag'd Danyel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Boy, I feel bad, ...
