During the period we may be tempted to abandon some of the time-honored principles and commitments which have been proven during the difficult times of past generations. We must never yield to this temptation. Our American values are not luxuries, but necessities - not the salt in our bread, but the bread itself.in his farewell address.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of the needle than for a rich man to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19101]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of the needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19101</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For evil news rides post, while good news baits. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44463]]></link><description><![CDATA[For evil news rides post, while good news baits.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44463</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These $100,000 UPS systems aren't performing as they should, ...

He ran home and told his Mother, saying, Although it hurts me very much, I only touched it gently. That was just why it stung you, said his Mother.

It has failed to understand that the world is not for the beholding. It is for hearing. It is not legible, but audible. Our science has always desired to monitor, measure, abstract, and castrate meaning, forgetting that life is full of noise and that death alone is silent: work noise, noise of man, and noise of beast. Noise bought, sold, or prohibited. Nothing essential happens in the absence of noise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The circumstance which gives authors an advantage above all these great masters, is this, that they can multiply their originals; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3507]]></link><description><![CDATA[The circumstance which gives authors an advantage above all these great masters, is this, that they can multiply their originals; or rather, can make copies of their works, to what number they please, which shall be as valuable as the originals themselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have no right to ask when a sorrow comes, 'Why did this happen to me?' unless we ask the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2953]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have no right to ask when a sorrow comes, 'Why did this happen to me?' unless we ask the same question for every joy that comes our way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2953</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pools, that are used by people as they are meant to be used, are not making them (casinos) any money. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38240]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pools, that are used by people as they are meant to be used, are not making them (casinos) any money.

The Ass, as long as he traveled along the plain, carried his load with ease, but when he began to ascend the steep path of the mountain, felt his load to be more than he could bear. He entreated his companion to relieve him of a small portion, that he might carry home the rest; but the Mule paid no attention to the request. The Ass shortly afterwards fell down dead under his burden. Not knowing what else to do in so wild a region, the Muleteer placed upon the Mule the load carried by the Ass in addition to his own, and at the top of all placed the hide of the Ass, after he had skinned him. The Mule, groaning beneath his heavy burden, said to himself: I am treated according to my deserts. If I had only been willing to assist the Ass a little in his need, I should not now be bearing, together with his burden, himself as well.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1554</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Regret for time wasted can become a power for good in the time that remains, if we will only stop ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53235]]></link><description><![CDATA[Regret for time wasted can become a power for good in the time that remains, if we will only stop the waste and the idle, useless regretting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53235</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The secret of getting things done is to act! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47532]]></link><description><![CDATA[The secret of getting things done is to act!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are none more abusive to others than they that lie most open to it themselves; but the humor goes ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/268]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are none more abusive to others than they that lie most open to it themselves; but the humor goes round, and he that laughs at me today will have somebody to laugh at him tomorrow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are things that are so serious that you can only joke about them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27902]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are things that are so serious that you can only joke about them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27902</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O, then, what graces in my love do dwell That he hath turned a heaven unto a hell! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18087]]></link><description><![CDATA[O, then, what graces in my love do dwell That he hath turned a heaven unto a hell!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18087</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I feel my fingerprints will be in place on the city of Snellville for many years to come. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33767]]></link><description><![CDATA[I feel my fingerprints will be in place on the city of Snellville for many years to come.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success is always temporary.

In these days when power and size and speed are almost universally admired, it seems to me particularly important to study afresh the "weakness", the "smallness of entry", and the "slowness" of God as He begins His vast work of reconstructing His disordered world. We are all tempted to take short cuts, to work for quick results, and to evade painful sacrifice. It is therefore essential that we should look again at love incarnate in a human being, to see God Himself at work within the limitations of human personality, and to base our methods on what we see Him do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My feeling is religious insofar as I am imbued with the consciousness of the insufficiency of the human mind to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54782]]></link><description><![CDATA[My feeling is religious insofar as I am imbued with the consciousness of the insufficiency of the human mind to understand more deeply the harmony of the Universe which we try to formulate as "laws of nature]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The kind of power mothers have is enormous.
