Whether it\'s sitting down making a quilt, in a kitchen preparing a meal, in a club reading the same book, or around the table playing cards, or planning a birthday party, when women come together with a collective intention, magic happens.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66712</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To illustrate the difference between the innovator and the dull crowd of routinists who cannot even imagine that any improvement ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52022]]></link><description><![CDATA[To illustrate the difference between the innovator and the dull crowd of routinists who cannot even imagine that any improvement is possible, we need only refer to a passage in Engel's most famous book. Here, in 1878, Engels apodictically announced that military weapons are "now so perfected that no further progress of any revolutionizing influence is any longer possible." Henceforth "all further [technological] progress is by and large indifferent for land warfare. The age of evolution is in this regard essentially closed." This complacent conclusion shows in what the achievement of the innovator consists: he accomplishes what other people believe to be unthinkable and unfeasible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52022</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sing out my soul, thy songs of joy; Such as a happy bird will sing,  Beneath a Rainbow's lovely ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23421]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sing out my soul, thy songs of joy; Such as a happy bird will sing,  Beneath a Rainbow's lovely arch,   In early spring.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Edward the Confessor, 1066  If every call to Christ and His righteousness is a call to suffering, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8297]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Edward the Confessor, 1066  If every call to Christ and His righteousness is a call to suffering, the converse is equally -- every call to suffering is a call to Christ, a promotion, an invitation to come up higher.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8297</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody's going to know whether you did it or not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63196]]></link><description><![CDATA[Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody's going to know whether you did it or not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63196</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Done to death by slanderous tongues. -Much Ado about Nothing.

The "joy" that was set before Jesus was, we feel, knowing of the riches which would come to his brethren out of his death. In short, we are his joy, set before him when on the cross. As we have seen, only as the circle of the love of Jesus becomes world wide and as big as history will it be complete.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Temper your enjoyments with prudence, lest there be written on your heart that fearful word "satiety.". ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13952]]></link><description><![CDATA[Temper your enjoyments with prudence, lest there be written on your heart that fearful word "satiety.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13952</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reality is nothing but a collective hunch. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53077]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reality is nothing but a collective hunch.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53077</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They teach in academies far too many things, and far too much that is useless. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13448]]></link><description><![CDATA[They teach in academies far too many things, and far too much that is useless.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13448</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wind puffs up empty bladders; opinion, fools. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51553]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wind puffs up empty bladders; opinion, fools.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51553</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Wycliffe, Reformer, 1384  Christian men and women, old and young, should study well in the New ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6684]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Wycliffe, Reformer, 1384  Christian men and women, old and young, should study well in the New Testament, for it is of full authority, and open to understanding by simple men, as to the points that are most needful to salvation. Each part of Scripture, both open and dark, teaches meekness and charity; and therefore he that keeps meekness and charity has the true understanding and perfection of all Scripture. Therefore, no simple man of wit should be afraid to study in the text of Scripture. And no cleric should be proud of the true understanding of Scripture, because understanding of Scripture without charity that keeps God's commandments, makes a man deeper damned... and pride and covetousness of clerics is the cause of [the Church's] blindness and heresy, and deprives them of the true understanding of Scripture.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thought is borne of failure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59224]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thought is borne of failure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My family begins with me, your family ends with you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15165]]></link><description><![CDATA[My family begins with me, your family ends with you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15165</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I find that a great part of the information I have was acquired by looking up something and finding something ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28036]]></link><description><![CDATA[I find that a great part of the information I have was acquired by looking up something and finding something else on the way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28036</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Professionalism is knowing how to do it, when to do it, and doing it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22458]]></link><description><![CDATA[Professionalism is knowing how to do it, when to do it, and doing it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It hurts.
