Anyone who thinks his time is too valuable to spend keeping quiet will eventually have no time for God and his brother, but only for himself and for his own follies...   We should listen with the ears of God that we may speak the Word of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Consumers deserve the option of choosing the combination of services that fits their needs and encouraging greater purchasing flexibility through ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38981]]></link><description><![CDATA[Consumers deserve the option of choosing the combination of services that fits their needs and encouraging greater purchasing flexibility through standalone DSL furthers this goal,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What do you mean, funny?
