On the contrary, the increasingly complex processes tend to lead to increasingly simple and easily understood products. The genius of mass production is precisely in its making more products more accessible, both economically and intellectually to more people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15809</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I didn't even know he was into art.

They want desperately to perceive a vast gulf between man and the rest of creation. This mythology of human superiority justifies their doing whatever they please with the world, just the way Hitler’s mythology of Aryan superiority justified his doing whatever he pleased with Europe. But in the end this mythology is not deeply satisfying. The Takers are a profoundly lonely people. The world for them is enemy territory, and they live in it like an army of occupation, alienated and isolated by their extraordinary specialness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Peace is the deliberate adjustment of my life to the will of God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45937]]></link><description><![CDATA[Peace is the deliberate adjustment of my life to the will of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't help getting older, but you don't have to get old. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1878]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can't help getting older, but you don't have to get old.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't place too much confidence in the man who boasts of being as honest as the day is long.

Now there is something in our natural selves that may well make us wary of such a contact. The man who in his heart intends to go on being selfish or proud, or who has already decided how far his Christian convictions should carry him, is probably obeying a sound instinct when he keeps away from this glorious but perilous Sacrament. For, if the truth be told, men are often willing to put their trust in a god who in the end must be triumphant, simply because they want to be on the winning side; but they are not nearly so ready to bear any part of the cost of that winning. Yet the fellowship of the broken bread and the poured-out wine can mean no less than that.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Calvin, renewer of the Church, 1564  However these deeds of men are judged in themselves, still ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7510]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Calvin, renewer of the Church, 1564  However these deeds of men are judged in themselves, still the Lord accomplished his work through them alike when he broke the bloody scepters of arrogant kings and when he overturned intolerable governments. Let the princes hear and be afraid. But we must, in the meantime, be very careful not to despise or violate that authority of magistrates, full of venerable majesty, which God has established by the weightiest decrees, even though it may reside with the most unworthy men, who defile it as much as they can with their own wickedness. For, if the correction of unbridled despotism is the Lord's to avenge, let us not at once think that it is entrusted to us, to whom no command has been given except to obey and suffer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Microsoft isn't evil, they just make really crappy operating systems. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9386]]></link><description><![CDATA[Microsoft isn't evil, they just make really crappy operating systems.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9386</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The isles of Greece, the isles of Greece! Where burning Sappho loved and sung.  Where grew the arts of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18283]]></link><description><![CDATA[The isles of Greece, the isles of Greece! Where burning Sappho loved and sung.  Where grew the arts of war and peace,--   Where Delos rose, and Phoebus sprung!    Eternal summer gilds them yet,     But all, except their sun, is set.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Divorce should be the last possible option, rather than something we should be smoothing the passage to. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30547]]></link><description><![CDATA[Divorce should be the last possible option, rather than something we should be smoothing the passage to.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59477]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commit the oldest sins the newest kind of ways ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56367]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commit the oldest sins the newest kind of ways]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56367</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not a driven businessman, but a driven artist.
