My attitude is if somebody blunders into the level of popularity, at least remember the human factor. These guys are still human beings and hopefully still have hearts and if you keep in touch with them rather than vilify them you may be able to encourage them to go in the right direction. What I'm hoping will eventually happen is that they will grasp the amount of power and financial clout that is now at their fingertips and use those as tools to help real people with real things the way punk politics was always designed to do before, but nobody had any money.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am the eagle, I live in high country, in rocky cathedrals that reach to the sky;I am the hawk ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61581]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am the eagle, I live in high country, in rocky cathedrals that reach to the sky;I am the hawk and there's blood on my feathers, but time is still turning they soon will be dry;All those who see me, and all who believe in me, share in the freedom I feel when I fly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind.

But, since we are concerned with an occurrence which is by hypothesis unique in certain relevant aspects, we are most unlikely to be able to give confident answers to them. [Paul M.] van Buren's remarks about biology and the twentieth century are nothing more than rhetoric or, at best, are simply empirical statements about his own psychology. The first century knew as well as the twentieth that dead bodies do not naturally come to life again, and no amount of twentieth-century knowledge about natural processes can tell us what may happen by supernatural means.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6212</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good heart cannot lye. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49028]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good heart cannot lye.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was surprised at the fact that AXA Financial had spent so much time and money trying to build DLJ, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42445]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was surprised at the fact that AXA Financial had spent so much time and money trying to build DLJ, especially build its presence in Europe the last couple of years and now it's pulling the ripcord.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42445</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Go play golf.

St. John of the Cross  December 15, 2000   Two thousand years of failure have not taught some reformers that you can't stop sin by declaring it illegal. Two thousand years have not taught them that you can't save a man's soul by force -- you can only lose your own in the attempt. Drunkenness and gambling and secularism and lechery -- various hopeful churchmen have earnestly tried to outlaw them all; and what is the result? A drunken nation, a gambling nation, a secularist nation, an adulterous nation. And, often, a ruined Church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7556</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not necessarily the amount of time you spend at practice that counts; it's what you put into the practice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47977]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's not necessarily the amount of time you spend at practice that counts; it's what you put into the practice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47977</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Black is a pearl in a woman's eye. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23257]]></link><description><![CDATA[Black is a pearl in a woman's eye.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hear not ill of a friend, nor speak any of an enemy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13825]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hear not ill of a friend, nor speak any of an enemy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13825</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a small segment complaining on their own.

Therefore he must not feel too keenly the burden of responsibility, because at the end of the day all he can say is, "We are unprofitable servants". This knowledge, far from inhibiting action, actually releases the Christian from that appalling feeling of responsibility that has driven so many high-minded humanists to despair, even to suicide... Work done conscientiously by the Christian is his share in Christ's service; but it is Christ's service, and therefore the Christian need neither be proud because it has succeeded or overwhelmed because it has failed. The service of Christ is supremely expressed in the apparent failure of the Cross.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think that everyone would feel that a renegotiation that allows for a percentage of revenue would be the optimal ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28801]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think that everyone would feel that a renegotiation that allows for a percentage of revenue would be the optimal outcome.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28801</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You come to Michigan to play teams like Notre Dame.
