They cooperate because this best serves their own interests. Neither love nor charity nor any other sympathetic sentiments but rightly understood selfishness is what originally impelled man to adjust himself to the requirements of society, to respect the rights and freedoms of his fellow men and to substitute peaceful collaboration for enmity and conflict.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56957</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Strike--for your altars and your fires; Strike--for the green graves of your sires.  God--and your native land! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45781]]></link><description><![CDATA[Strike--for your altars and your fires; Strike--for the green graves of your sires.  God--and your native land!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45781</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are sitting on the next wave of technological innovation, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31560]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are sitting on the next wave of technological innovation,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't have a girlfriend.

The reaction to such a study may indeed prove to be conversion or open hostility, but it would at least mean the end of childish and ill-informed attacks upon what is supposed to be the Christian religion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An eye for an eye would make the whole world blind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54073]]></link><description><![CDATA[An eye for an eye would make the whole world blind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54073</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to get caught up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56529]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to get caught up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I will be correspondent to command. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51492]]></link><description><![CDATA[I will be correspondent to command.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65461]]></link><description><![CDATA[The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are thousands of different card products, some are offered with low interest rates, some are offered with no fees, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40000]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are thousands of different card products, some are offered with low interest rates, some are offered with no fees, some are offered with a cash rebate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Within that awful volume lies The mystery of mysteries!  Happiest they of human race,   To whom God ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54918]]></link><description><![CDATA[Within that awful volume lies The mystery of mysteries!  Happiest they of human race,   To whom God has granted grace    To read, to fear, to hope, to pray,     To lift the latch, and force the way:      And better had they ne'er been born,       Who read to doubt, or read to scorn.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54918</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why does a woman work ten years to change a man's habits and then complain that he's not the man ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26427]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why does a woman work ten years to change a man's habits and then complain that he's not the man she married?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes something worth doing is worth overdoing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62346]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes something worth doing is worth overdoing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62346</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Big egos are big shields for lots of empty space. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27878]]></link><description><![CDATA[Big egos are big shields for lots of empty space.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we win the next two games, we should be in the playoffs.

With them he trapped a Stork that had fractured his leg in the net and was earnestly beseeching the Farmer to spare his life. Pray save me, Master, he said, and let me go free this once. My broken limb should excite your pity. Besides, I am no Crane, I am a Stork, a bird of excellent character; and see how I love and slave for my father and mother. Look too, at my feathers-- they are not the least like those of a Crane.  The Farmer laughed aloud and said, It may be all as you say, I only know this: I have taken you with these robbers, the Cranes, and you must die in their company. Birds of a feather flock together.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The smaller the head, the bigger the dream. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12823]]></link><description><![CDATA[The smaller the head, the bigger the dream.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12823</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We cannot create observers by saying "observe," but by giving them the power and the means for this observation and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44781]]></link><description><![CDATA[We cannot create observers by saying "observe," but by giving them the power and the means for this observation and these means are procured through education of the senses]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44781</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are many waies to fame. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49945]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are many waies to fame.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49945</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[OBSESSED, p.p.

Vexed by an evil spirit, like the Gadarene swine and other critics. Obsession was once more common than it is now. Arasthus tells of a peasant who was occupied by a different devil for every day in the week, and on Sundays by two. They were frequently seen, always walking in his shadow, when he had one, but were finally driven away by the village notary, a holy man; but they took the peasant with them, for he vanished utterly. A devil thrown out of a woman by the Archbishop of Rheims ran through the trees, pursued by a hundred persons, until the open country was reached, where by a leap higher than a church spire he escaped into a bird. A chaplain in Cromwell's army exorcised a soldier's obsessing devil by throwing the soldier into the water, when the devil came to the surface. The soldier, unfortunately, did not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As to the pure mind all things are pure, so to the poetic mind all things are poetical. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64906]]></link><description><![CDATA[As to the pure mind all things are pure, so to the poetic mind all things are poetical.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64906</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As I was going up the stairI met a man who wasn't thereHe wasn't there again todayI wish, I wish ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25391]]></link><description><![CDATA[As I was going up the stairI met a man who wasn't thereHe wasn't there again todayI wish, I wish he'd stay away. - The Psychoed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25391</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[One option currently under consideration by SGA is to charge students who wish to use the Stingerette for off-campus travel ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33090]]></link><description><![CDATA[[One option currently under consideration by SGA is to charge students who wish to use the Stingerette for off-campus travel an additional fee.] We would like to look at the possibility of having students who rode the Stingerette swipe their BuzzCard for off-campus driving, ...
