First, the creature's profound sense of need, of incompleteness: its steadfast desire... Next, a humble and loving acceptance of God's answer to that prayer of desire, however startling, disappointing, and unappetizing it may be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It may seem absurd to some that all desires by which man is by nature affected are so completely condemned ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7828]]></link><description><![CDATA[It may seem absurd to some that all desires by which man is by nature affected are so completely condemned -- although they have been bestowed by God himself, the author of nature. To this I reply that we do not condemn those inclinations which God so engraved upon the character of man at his first creation, that they were eradicable only with humanity itself; but only those bold and unbridled impulses which contend against God's control.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We knew coming in last year we had to guard one but he's got six or seven now that aren't ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33765]]></link><description><![CDATA[We knew coming in last year we had to guard one but he's got six or seven now that aren't shy of shooting.

Now, once again may I ask you the question, Is the Church cruel when she points this out, and demands that men should see it and take account of it in all the arrangements of this life? Surely the cruelty lies with those who talk glibly about the brotherhood of man, and superficially about peace, and romantically about marriage, as though the disturbances in Church and state and family were introduced into human life by a few evil-minded men. This is the real cruelty. How will you face up later to your married life, to your administration of affairs, to your life in the Church, in fact to any real part of your lives, if you are taught to think that your neighbour will or ought to agree with you in all points, will accept your solutions of his problems, will in fact be a reflection of your image? Once we get this stuff and nonsense into our heads, we shall never be able to live with anyone or with any group of men. We shall sulk when we are crossed, or run away from the Other -- for Other they are. We shall certainly remove ourselves from the Church when we find it full of friction and yet proclaiming the love of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6747</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It has been three years since the government published details of the options regarding the regulation of private military companies, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42455]]></link><description><![CDATA[It has been three years since the government published details of the options regarding the regulation of private military companies, yet ministers have failed to find a solution.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A new lens to look through.

Hear the pain in people's speaking. Peoplewho have an ear to hear can hear. You will no longer tolerate what youused to tolerate. A second point of reality. It's the loving thing to do.What's being revealed here? Dogs don't have things wrong. Wrongdisempowers people. Upsets indicate a "right" that's beenviolated. Notice when you are angry that you are the only one around. Theonly constant thing is you. Business is made up. It's invented. If itreally turns you on, you may want to inform your face.

Folks have been speculating about a phone from Apple for more than a year. Being that I am a wireless analyst, I don't follow Apple as closely as others do. What I do know though, is that we are not likely to know until Apple wants us to know. They are pretty good at big surprises. Do I think they are developing a phone? Probably. Probably somewhere in their labs, there are prototypes of phones. Whether or not they bring one to market commercially is another story. Whether or not they will do so on their own is another open question. Hard to imagine carrier subsidies on a device unless there are revenues to be earned through downloaded services and content.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mountain was in labour, and Jove was afraid, but it brought forth a mouse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43317]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mountain was in labour, and Jove was afraid, but it brought forth a mouse.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43317</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is a kind of military service. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25866]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is a kind of military service.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25866</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stubbornness does have its helpful features.

It may come when we least expect it; it will probably come after a period of darkness, fierce contention, utter disbelief. But the confession will only be united when we cease to confound our feeble expressions of trust and affiance, our praises and adorations, with Him to whom they rise, from whom they proceed; when we are brought to nothingness, that He may be shown to be all in all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7335</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lynn Swann respects the historic legacy of labor in Pennsylvania.

To say that we must wait for the other world, to know the mind of Him who came to this world to give Himself to us, seems to me the foolishness of a worldly and lazy spirit. The Son of God is the teacher of men, giving to them of His Spirit -- that Spirit which manifests the deep things of God, being to a man the mind of Christ. The great heresy of the Church of the present day is unbelief in this Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8225</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The deepest rivers flow with the least sound. [Lat., Altissima quaeque flumina minimo sono labuntur.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51067]]></link><description><![CDATA[The deepest rivers flow with the least sound. [Lat., Altissima quaeque flumina minimo sono labuntur.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51067</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If two men on the same job agree all the time, then one is useless.

There is no other means to safeguard a propitious development of human affairs than to make the masses of inferior people adopt the ideas of the elite. This has to be achieved by convincing them. It cannot be accomplished by a despotic regime that instead of enlightening the masses beats them into submission. In the long run the ideas of the majority, however detrimental they may be, will carry on. The future of mankind depends on the ability of the elite to influence public opinion in the right direction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that riseth betimes hath some thing in his head. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49389]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that riseth betimes hath some thing in his head.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49389</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Please accept my resignation.
