The remaining birds at once forsook his fields, crying to each other, It is time for us to be off to Liliput: for this man is no longer content to scare us, but begins to show us in earnest what he can do. If words suffice not, blows must follow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Home is the girl's prison and the woman's workhouse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19634]]></link><description><![CDATA[Home is the girl's prison and the woman's workhouse.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19634</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach that person to use the Internet and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22957]]></link><description><![CDATA[Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach that person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22957</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The 'how' thinker gets problems solved effectively because he wastes no time with futile 'ifs'. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59164]]></link><description><![CDATA[The 'how' thinker gets problems solved effectively because he wastes no time with futile 'ifs'.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59164</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Please accept my resignation.

When people look at us, their reaction should be, "These are human people" -- human, because we know that we differ from the animal, the plant, and the machine; and that personality is native to what has always been [human]. If they cannot look upon us and say, "They are real people", nothing else is enough.
