He had never seen the Book before. It taught him another lesson than that of fasts and vigils... Luther learned now that a man was saved not by singing masses, but by the infinite grace of God: a more credible hypothesis. He gradually got himself founded, as on the rock. No wonder he should venerate the Bible, which had brought this blessed help to him. He prized it as the Word of the Highest must be prized by such a man. He determined to hold by that, as through life and to death he firmly did.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12847]]></link><description><![CDATA[You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Annius has some two hundred tables, and servants for every table. Dishes run hither and thither, and plates fly about. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13231]]></link><description><![CDATA[Annius has some two hundred tables, and servants for every table. Dishes run hither and thither, and plates fly about.

Imagine an industry that consistently fails to do what it sets out to do. a factory where this year's product is invariably sleazier than last year's but, nevertheless, better than next year's. Imagine a corporation whose executives are always spending vast sums of money on studies designed to discover just what it is they are supposed to do and then vaster sums for further studies on just how to do it. Imagine a plant devoted to the manufacture of factory seconds to be sold at a loss. Imagine a producer of vacuum cleaners that rarely work hiring whole platoons of engineers who will, in time, report that it is, in fact, true that the vacuum cleaners rarely really work, and who will, for a larger fee, be glad to find out why, if that's possible. If you discover some such outfit, don't invest in it. Unfortunately, we are all required to invest in public education.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Writing about music is like dancing about architecture. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3008]]></link><description><![CDATA[Writing about music is like dancing about architecture.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3008</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Which, if not victory, is yet revenge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54089]]></link><description><![CDATA[Which, if not victory, is yet revenge.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54089</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most pleasing thing about the game was to see Gareth come through 30 minutes unscathed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39685]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most pleasing thing about the game was to see Gareth come through 30 minutes unscathed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39685</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What do I dislike about death?

The Jackdaw, knowing his own ugliness, searched through the woods and fields, and collected the feathers which had fallen from the wings of his companions, and stuck them in all parts of his body, hoping thereby to make himself the most beautiful of all. When the appointed day arrived, and the birds had assembled before Jupiter, the Jackdaw also made his appearance in his many feathered finery. But when Jupiter proposed to make him king because of the beauty of his plumage, the birds indignantly protested, and each plucked from him his own feathers, leaving the Jackdaw nothing but a Jackdaw.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1561</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm extremely proud of each and every one of our kids.
