But we can at least crystallize the lessons into two simple maxims- one negative, the other positive. The first is that, in face of the overwhelming evidence of history, no general is justified in launching his troops to a direct attack upon an enemy firmly in position. The second, that instead of seeking to upset the enemy's equilibrium by one's attack, it must be upset before a real attack is, or can be successfully launched.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think this will be more of a company-led expansion instead of one led by consumers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40741]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think this will be more of a company-led expansion instead of one led by consumers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man who stand on hill with mouth open will wait long time for roast duck to drop in. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47635]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man who stand on hill with mouth open will wait long time for roast duck to drop in.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47635</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Power corrupts.

It is the giving up all the former weary efforts to do or feel something good, in order to induce God to love and pardon; and the calm reception of the truth so long rejected, that God is not waiting for any such inducements, but loves and pardons of His own goodwill, and is showing that goodwill to any sinner who will come to Him on such a footing, casting away his own poor performances or goodnesses, and relying implicitly upon the free love of Him who so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6362</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The essence of all beauty, I call love, The attribute, the evidence, and end,  The consummation to the inward ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3838]]></link><description><![CDATA[The essence of all beauty, I call love, The attribute, the evidence, and end,  The consummation to the inward sense   Of beauty apprehended from without,    I still call love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's another tough loss.

We merely prevent its leaking out at a certain point, with the likely result that it will leak out at some other point. Thus by denigrating prevailing beliefs and loyalties, the militant man of words unwittingly creates in the disillusioned masses a hunger for faith. For the majority of people cannot endure the barrenness and futility of their lives unless they have some ardent dedication, or some passionate pursuit in which they can lose themselves. Thus, in spite of himself, the scoffing man of words becomes the precursor of a new faith.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53720</guid></item></channel></rss>
