Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing. It's ok though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation.. so when I meet someone who's an 8-color type.. I'm like, "hey girl, magenta!" and she's like, "oh, you mean purple!" and she goes off on her purple thing, and I'm like, "no - I want magenta!"]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It still feels like it's the NCAA Tournament.

The gospel of love -- with its emphasis upon brotherhood, equality before God, the dignity of every human being, and man's social responsibility toward man -- does not satisfy the lack that he urgently feels. That calls for something altogether different, for an assurance that he is superior, that he is right where others are wrong -- a kind of cosmic teacher's pet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7788</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A cause a day keeps reality away. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22052]]></link><description><![CDATA[A cause a day keeps reality away.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22052</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The stars which shone over Babylon and the stable in Bethlehem still shine as brightly over the Empire State Building ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60213]]></link><description><![CDATA[The stars which shone over Babylon and the stable in Bethlehem still shine as brightly over the Empire State Building and your front yard today.

We are speaking of the proper relationship to the living God who exists. In order to understand the problems of our generation, we should be very alive to this distinction. Semantics (linguistic analysis) makes up the heart of modern philosophical study in the Anglo-Saxon world. Though the Christian cannot accept this study as a total philosophy, there is no reason why he should not be glad for the concept that words need to be defined before they can be used in communication. As Christians, we must understand that there is no word so meaningless as the word "god" until it is defined. No word has been used to reach absolutely opposite concepts as much as the word "god". Consequently, let us not be confused. There is much "spirituality" about us today that would relate itself to the word god or to the idea god; but this is not what we are talking about. Biblical truth and spirituality is not a relationship to the word god, or to the idea god. It is a relationship to the one who is there, which is an entirely different concept.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the sentinel stars set their watch in the sky. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57827]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the sentinel stars set their watch in the sky.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57827</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone suffers wrongs for which there is no remedy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62443]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everyone suffers wrongs for which there is no remedy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As a child, one looks for compliments.
