Clearly the more premature an infant is when he is born, the greater likelihood of complications. In fact, according to the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services National Center for Health Statistics, complications stemming from short gestation and low birth weight are the second leading causes of infant mortality in the United States. Ironically, the advanced medical technologies used in the United States tend to increase our infant mortality rate, not decrease it. In the United States, advanced technologies and procedures have made it more practical in recent years for medical professionals to attempt to save severely premature infants. Such attempts do not always succeed, adding to the rate of infant mortality.] Resuscitation is more likely to be attempted on extremely premature babies born in the United States than in many other countries, ... The extremely premature babies on whom resuscitation is unsuccessful are then counted as infant deaths, whereas they are counted as fetal deaths when resuscitation has not been attempted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38393</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the factory we make cosmetics; in the store we sell hope. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22187]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the factory we make cosmetics; in the store we sell hope.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's enough to send shivers down your spine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29169]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's enough to send shivers down your spine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29169</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever, in middle age, attempts to realize the wishes and hopes of his early youth, invariably deceives himself.

It thus comes about that in practice it is regularly the theoretical collectivist who extols individual reason and demands that all forces of society be made subject to the direction of a single mastermind, while it is the individualist who recognizes the limitations of the powers of individual reason and consequently advocates freedom as a means for the fullest development of the powers of the interindividual process.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47393</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here; My heart's in the Highlands a-chasing the deer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19038]]></link><description><![CDATA[My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here; My heart's in the Highlands a-chasing the deer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19038</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The grand aim of all science is to cover the greatest number of empirical facts by logical deduction from the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54820]]></link><description><![CDATA[The grand aim of all science is to cover the greatest number of empirical facts by logical deduction from the smallest number of hypotheses or axioms.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54820</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I felt like we executed our offense pretty well in the first half and did just enough to keep the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38606]]></link><description><![CDATA[I felt like we executed our offense pretty well in the first half and did just enough to keep the lead comfortable in the second half.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Knowledge is folly, except grace guide it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49586]]></link><description><![CDATA[Knowledge is folly, except grace guide it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49586</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'll be merry and free, I'll be sad for nae-body;  If nae-body cares for me,   I'll care ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9938]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'll be merry and free, I'll be sad for nae-body;  If nae-body cares for me,   I'll care for nae-body.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9938</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Were it not for the bone in the legge, all the world would turne Carpenters (to make them crutches). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50054]]></link><description><![CDATA[Were it not for the bone in the legge, all the world would turne Carpenters (to make them crutches).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50054</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be a spot on the ground where nothing is growing, where somethingmight be planted, a seed, from the Absolute. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21113]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be a spot on the ground where nothing is growing, where somethingmight be planted, a seed, from the Absolute.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21113</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nature made him, and then broke the mold. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41133]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nature made him, and then broke the mold.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41133</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As the master so the valet.
