Over the last year we've had a little of this indigestion from a lot of mergers over a short period. We needed to take a little breather to refocus on organic revenue growth, and we think we're near that period of time where our internal operations are where we want, so we're looking at getting back into the (M&A) business.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The function of vice is to keep virtue within reasonable bounds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60536]]></link><description><![CDATA[The function of vice is to keep virtue within reasonable bounds.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The longer I live the more I see that I am never wrong about anything, and that all the pains ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20032]]></link><description><![CDATA[The longer I live the more I see that I am never wrong about anything, and that all the pains that I have so humbly taken to verify my notions have only wasted my time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20032</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poetry is a mirror which makes beautiful that which is distorted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46817]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poetry is a mirror which makes beautiful that which is distorted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46817</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our very freedom is secure because we're a nation governed by laws, not by men.

And that, queerly enough as you might think, the man was not discomfited but heartened. Here at last, he felt, is one who understands and knows the facts. And since His desperate diagnosis is so accurate, may not His optimism also justify itself even in me. Well does He know what is in human nature, and yet, knowing the worst, He still has confident hope.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8389</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are all ready to be savage in some cause.

When, unarmed and defenseless, He said to the Roman power, "My Kingdom is not of this world," He spoke the word of inauguration. Over the kingdom of the elemental forces, over the kingdom of the animal, over the kingdom of the intellect, He beheld rising, with Himself as prophet and embodiment, that kingdom of the spiritual whose forces should be those of purity and sacrifice, love and trust, obedience and service. It is the last of the kingdoms because it is the highest; it will be the most enduring for there is nothing that can take its place.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without economy none can be rich, and with it few will be poor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13342]]></link><description><![CDATA[Without economy none can be rich, and with it few will be poor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And bold and hard adventures t' undertake, Leaving his country for his country's sake. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45778]]></link><description><![CDATA[And bold and hard adventures t' undertake, Leaving his country for his country's sake.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45778</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They just have different customs, and we want to be knowledgeable and accept those customs.

The real questions refuse to be placated. They barge into your life at the times when it seems most important for them to stay away. They are the questions asked most frequently and answered most inadequately, the ones that reveal their true natures slowly, reluctantly, most often against your will. -Ingrid Bengis.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12245</guid></item></channel></rss>
