The cool name, that is. We worked very hard on creating a name that would appeal to the majority of people, and it certainly paid off: thousands of people are using linux just to be able to say "OS/2? Hah. I've got Linux. What a cool name". 386BSD made the mistake of putting a lot of numbers and weird abbreviations into the name, and is scaring away a lot of people just because it sounds too technical.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25152</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64298]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A few, a few, too few for drums and yells,May creep back, silent, to still village wellsUp half-known roads. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62243]]></link><description><![CDATA[A few, a few, too few for drums and yells,May creep back, silent, to still village wellsUp half-known roads.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62243</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you don't quit, and don't cheat, and don't run home when trouble arrives, you can only win. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5820]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you don't quit, and don't cheat, and don't run home when trouble arrives, you can only win.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5820</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Pandita Mary Ramabai, Translator of the Scriptures, 1922   Ultimate confidence in the goodness of life cannot ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8100]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Pandita Mary Ramabai, Translator of the Scriptures, 1922   Ultimate confidence in the goodness of life cannot rest upon confidence in the goodness of man. If that is where it rests, it is an optimism which will suffer ultimate disillusionment. Romanticism will be transmuted into cynicism, as it has always been in the world's history. The faith of a Christian is something quite different from this optimism. It is trust in God, in a good God who created a good world, though the world is not now good; in a good God, powerful and good enough finally to destroy the evil that men do and redeem them of their sins. This kind of faith is not optimism. It does not, in fact, arise until optimism breaks down and men cease to trust in themselves that they are righteous.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As selfishness and complaint pervert the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63460]]></link><description><![CDATA[As selfishness and complaint pervert the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63460</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conversation makes one what he is. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49181]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conversation makes one what he is.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49181</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Satiety is a mongrel that barks at the heels of plenty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15766]]></link><description><![CDATA[Satiety is a mongrel that barks at the heels of plenty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are closer to the ants than to the butterflies.
