It appears that most of the shelters ordered by FEMA have now been produced, but we do expect to see some carryover into 2006. In addition, industry sales in 2006 may increase due both to the need to replenish dealer lots that were depleted while manufacturers diverted their production capabilities to filling FEMA orders, and the permanent rebuilding of the hurricane-stricken areas.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40602</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hope with all my heart there will be painting in heaven. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53562]]></link><description><![CDATA[I hope with all my heart there will be painting in heaven.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53562</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was not born under a rhyming planet. -Much Ado about Nothing.

The Scriptures indeed were at hand for the study of those who could avail themselves of them, but St. Iranaeus does not hesitate to speak of whole races who had been converted to Christianity, without being able to read them. To be unable to read or write was in those times no evidence of want of learning; the hermits of the deserts were, in one sense of the word, illiterate, yet the great St. Anthony, though he knew not letters, was a match in disputation for the learned philosophers who came to try him.  ... John Henry Newman, "What is a University?" August 12, 2000   Any single verse of the Bible, taken in isolation, may actually be dangerous to your spiritual health. Every part of it must be read in relation to the whole message.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8465</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A few observation and much reasoning lead to error; many observations and a little reasoning to truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2112]]></link><description><![CDATA[A few observation and much reasoning lead to error; many observations and a little reasoning to truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2112</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not wait for extraordinary circumstances to do good; try to use ordinary situations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45116]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not wait for extraordinary circumstances to do good; try to use ordinary situations.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first step to eternal life, is you have to die. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20591]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first step to eternal life, is you have to die.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20591</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We will not let happen to Soldiers these days what happened to the Vietnam Soldiers when they came back. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38699]]></link><description><![CDATA[We will not let happen to Soldiers these days what happened to the Vietnam Soldiers when they came back.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38699</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who shall decide when doctors disagree, And soundest casuists doubt, like you and me? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26708]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who shall decide when doctors disagree, And soundest casuists doubt, like you and me?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some die too young, some die too old; the precept sounds strange, but die at the right age ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11461]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some die too young, some die too old; the precept sounds strange, but die at the right age]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And behind every man who's a failure there's a woman, too! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27135]]></link><description><![CDATA[And behind every man who's a failure there's a woman, too!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wisdom is the reward for a lifetime of listening ... when you'd have preferred to talk. -D.J.
