But a rational life, the life of a valuer, does not consist essentially in reaction. It consists in action. Man does not find his values, like the other animals; he creates them. The primary focus of a valuer is not to take the world as it comes and pass judgment. His primary focus is to identify what might and ought to exist, to uncover potentialities that he can exploit, to find ways of reshaping the world in the image of his values.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think what the [lawsuit] is going to do is have people realize that the government is there to protect ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40001]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think what the [lawsuit] is going to do is have people realize that the government is there to protect consumers, not to protect one competitor over another,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we're trying to do on a personal level is to make connections so that more kids, especially in low-income ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40991]]></link><description><![CDATA[What we're trying to do on a personal level is to make connections so that more kids, especially in low-income areas, have more adults in their life.

His road home lay across a stream into which his Ass, making a false step, fell by accident and rose up again with his load considerably lighter, as the water melted the sack. The Peddler retraced his steps and refilled his panniers with a larger quantity of salt than before. When he came again to the stream, the Ass fell down on purpose in the same spot, and, regaining his feet with the weight of his load much diminished, brayed triumphantly as if he had obtained what he desired. The Peddler saw through his trick and drove him for the third time to the coast, where he bought a cargo of sponges instead of salt. The Ass, again playing the fool, fell down on purpose when he reached the stream, but the sponges became swollen with water, greatly increasing his load. And thus his trick recoiled on him, for he now carried on his back a double burden.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45404]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45404</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism, to steal ideas from many is research. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4692]]></link><description><![CDATA[To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism, to steal ideas from many is research.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The art of taxation consists in so plucking the goose as to obtain the largest possible amount of feathers with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58682]]></link><description><![CDATA[The art of taxation consists in so plucking the goose as to obtain the largest possible amount of feathers with the smallest possible amount of hissing]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58682</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prudence is an attitude that keeps life safe, but does not often make it happy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51980]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prudence is an attitude that keeps life safe, but does not often make it happy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For emulation hath a thousand sons That one by one pursue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51275]]></link><description><![CDATA[For emulation hath a thousand sons That one by one pursue.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51275</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Very often the quiet fellow has said all he knows. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52802]]></link><description><![CDATA[Very often the quiet fellow has said all he knows.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52802</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[Ben Adams, founder and director of the program, was pleased with the turnout.] We estimated 1,000 people but we had ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29965]]></link><description><![CDATA[[Ben Adams, founder and director of the program, was pleased with the turnout.] We estimated 1,000 people but we had about 2 or 3 thousand come today, ...
