It is cantankerous, and it is independent. The idea of independence is the key. It really is like colonialism. The colonies suddenly decide that they can and should exist with their own personality and should detach from the control of the mother country. At first the colony is perceived as being treacherous. It's a betrayal. Ultimately, it can be seen as the separation of a partner that could be very valuable as an equal rather than as something you dominate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone. -Coco Chanel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4034]]></link><description><![CDATA[How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone. -Coco Chanel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4034</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Discipline is the refining fire by which talent becomes ability. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12393]]></link><description><![CDATA[Discipline is the refining fire by which talent becomes ability.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12393</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tyrant, step from the throne, and give place to thy master. [Fr., Tyran, descends du trone et fais place a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59962]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tyrant, step from the throne, and give place to thy master. [Fr., Tyran, descends du trone et fais place a ton maitre.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is funny.

It is important to assert this, because if we do not do so, the limit which we know apart from Christ becomes determinative of our outlook. That limit is death -- the death of the individual, and the death of the social structure in which his corporate personality is embodied. When these are the only limits that men know, then they are left in a hopeless alternation between hope for an individual survival of death, which evacuates their corporate life of ultimate significance, and hope for the eternity of some social or political or cultural achievement, which evacuates personal existence of ultimate significance. This false alternation is overcome in Christ in whom we are brought into relation with the true limit -- a consummation of all things in which both the significance of each personal life and the significance of history as a whole are to be gathered up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm sure when Chuck Schumer needs information from the Congressional Budget Office, he doesn't have to check with Harry Reid, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40841]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm sure when Chuck Schumer needs information from the Congressional Budget Office, he doesn't have to check with Harry Reid, the Democratic Senate leader.
