No, what's important is the way we say it. Art is all about craftsmanship. Others can interpret craftsmanship as style if they wish. Style is what unites memory or recollection, ideology, sentiment, nostalgia, presentiment, to the way we express all that. It's not what we say but how we say it that matters.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58088</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is our sincere wish that the Northern Ireland institutions be restored as soon as possible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30123]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is our sincere wish that the Northern Ireland institutions be restored as soon as possible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30123</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Three groups spend other people's money: children, thieves, politicians.

Strengthen my soul so that the weakening instinct of self-preservation, which besets all of us in battle, shall not blind me to my duty to my own manhood, to the glory of my calling, and to my responsibility to my fellow soldiers. Grant to our armed forces that disciplined valor and mutual confidence which insures success in war. Let me not mourn for the men who have died fighting, but rather let me be glad that such heroes have lived. If it be my lot to die, let me do so with courage and honor in a manner which will bring the greatest harm to the enemy, and please, oh Lord, protect and guide those I shall leave behind. Give us the victory, Lord.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What this is about, I think the homosexual agenda and the Log Cabin Republicans, they're the ones at the center ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31890]]></link><description><![CDATA[What this is about, I think the homosexual agenda and the Log Cabin Republicans, they're the ones at the center of this.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31890</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've had to practically drag the kids out of there to let another group in. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40747]]></link><description><![CDATA[We've had to practically drag the kids out of there to let another group in.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40747</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God, in a man who is made partaker of His nature, desireth and taketh no revenge for all the wrong ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7175]]></link><description><![CDATA[God, in a man who is made partaker of His nature, desireth and taketh no revenge for all the wrong that is or can be done unto Him. This we see in Christ when He saith: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."  ... Theologia Germanica  June 21, 1998  Alas! day by day we ask that His Will may be done, and yet, when it comes to the doing, we find it so hard! We offer ourselves so often to God -- we continually say, "Lord, I am Thine, I give Thee my heart," and when He accepts it, we are such cowards.
