Economic benefits result from the transformation of matter in form, location, or availability (intellectually or temporally).

Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal.

But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23381</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have great brands in this company and the philosophy is the corporate name shouldn't overshadow the brands but enhance ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34167]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have great brands in this company and the philosophy is the corporate name shouldn't overshadow the brands but enhance it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34167</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vulgarity is the rich man's modest contribution to democracy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61054]]></link><description><![CDATA[Vulgarity is the rich man's modest contribution to democracy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61054</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13640]]></link><description><![CDATA[The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13640</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that keeps not crust nor crum Weary of all, shall want some. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13263]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that keeps not crust nor crum Weary of all, shall want some.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every one has his faults: but we do not see the wallet on our own backs. [Lat., Suus quoque attributus ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15446]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every one has his faults: but we do not see the wallet on our own backs. [Lat., Suus quoque attributus est error:  Sed non videmus, manticae quid in tergo est.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15446</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Physical activity has been shown to be beneficial for health and aging in a number of areas.

Jupiter,after warning him that he would repent his request, caused him tobe sold to a tile-maker. Shortly afterwards, finding that he hadheavier loads to carry and harder work in the brick-field, hepetitioned for another change of master. Jupiter, telling himthat it would be the last time that he could grant his request,ordained that he be sold to a tanner. The Ass found that he hadfallen into worse hands, and noting his master's occupation,said, groaning: It would have been better for me to have beeneither starved by the one, or to have been overworked by theother of my former masters, than to have been bought by mypresent owner, who will even after I am dead tan my hide, andmake me useful to him.He that finds discontentment in one place is not likely to find happiness in another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Government in the U.S. today is a senior partner in every business in the country. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5072]]></link><description><![CDATA[Government in the U.S. today is a senior partner in every business in the country.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5072</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the surprising things in this world is the respect a worthless man has for himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53992]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the surprising things in this world is the respect a worthless man has for himself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Two babies were born on the same day at the same hospital.
