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[My ventures are not in one bottom trusted, Nor to one place. -The Merchant of Venice.

[Continued tomorrow]  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  February 5, 1998  And let us be grateful beyond words for this: that God will not let us alone until we have learnt it and stand by His side. He troubles us, He brings His disturbing light back and back to us, showing us how coarse and heavy the dying self, seeking her own, is; how horrible it is that any feeling of unforgiveness, accepted and held on to, towards our brother, drives God from our side; how quickly we must do all we can to heal the separation, because we are out in the cold and the dark indeed, if divorced from that Love.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  February 6, 1998  Commemoration of Martyrs of Japan, 1597  Prayer is the expression of a good desire. The human heart is full of restless desires, and the prayers of men consist for the most part of the unsifted petitions which are urged by their varying passions. To desire what is right, and to desire it consistently, and passionately, is the first condition of true living; the desires can be corrected only by truth, the mind must apprehend God, and then it will say, "There is none upon earth that I desire beside Thee.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chaos is a friend of mine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5603]]></link><description><![CDATA[Chaos is a friend of mine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Giving every man a vote has no more made men wise and free than Christianity has made them good. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60983]]></link><description><![CDATA[Giving every man a vote has no more made men wise and free than Christianity has made them good.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60983</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fans want electrifying content that allows them to relive the emotional experience they get from live events.

His presence must never be used to provide a Christian justification for evil. To stand as a co-belligerent and not an ally will be to rally the middle ground for a genuine Third Way without mediocre compromise. The Third Way will not be easy. It will be lonely. Sometimes the Christian must have the courage to stand with the establishment, speaking boldly to the radicals and pointing out the destructive and counter-productive nature of their violence. At other times, he will stand as a co-belligerent with the radicals in their outrage and just demands for redress. The Christian is a co-belligerent with either or both when either or both are right, but... fearless in his opposition to either or both when they are wrong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ethnic origin and religious beliefs are not so important criteria for the future premier. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29000]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ethnic origin and religious beliefs are not so important criteria for the future premier.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are two methods, or means, and only two, whereby man's needs and desires can be satisfied.

He was not indifferent to observances, but the practices of the people bulked in His thoughts before the practices of the Church. It has been pointed out as a blemish on the immortal allegory of Bunyan that the Pilgrim never did anything -- anything but save his soul. The remark is scarcely fair, for the allegory is designedly the story of a soul in a single relation; and, besides, he did do a little. But the warning may well be weighed. The Pilgrim's one thought, his work by day, his dream by night, was escape. He took little part in the world through which he passed. He was a Pilgrim travelling through it; his business was to get through safe. Whatever this is, it is not Christianity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I assert that the cosmic religious experience is the strongest and the noblest driving force behind scientific research. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9557]]></link><description><![CDATA[I assert that the cosmic religious experience is the strongest and the noblest driving force behind scientific research.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I'm hungry, I eat.
