It is the language of the future for the programming techniques of the past: it creates a new generation of coding bums.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The highest result of education is tolerance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13377]]></link><description><![CDATA[The highest result of education is tolerance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13377</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The strategy is to frustrate the other team by trying to make them play in front of you, by not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37604]]></link><description><![CDATA[The strategy is to frustrate the other team by trying to make them play in front of you, by not giving them holes and by being as compact as possible. You have to move the ball even quicker than when you have 11 men because they are going to try and pressure you. There are opportunities to get at them but they did a good job of closing us down.

There are Asian, West Indian, and Anglo-Saxon congregations worshiping and meeting close to each other. These groups meet at work and in school, but not always in church. If the church is middle-class and intellectual in the language of the services, in the music employed, in the life-style expected of Christians, in its leadership, and in the methods of presenting the gospel, then the whole atmosphere is such as to repel those who are not middle-class and intellectual. They feel out of place and unwanted, even if they are given a friendly greeting at the door. The life of the New Testament Church was evidence of the supernatural; God was in their midst. The power of Christ was a reality. The fellowship could not be explained in simple natural terms. A church divided on social and racial lines is not evidence for the supernatural, but for the simply human and social.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A worthless woman! mere cold clay As all false things are! but so fair,  She takes the breath of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61936]]></link><description><![CDATA[A worthless woman! mere cold clay As all false things are! but so fair,  She takes the breath of men away   Who gaze upon her unaware:    I would not play her larcenous tricks     To have her looks!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61936</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have a very strong feeling that the opposite of love is not hate - it's apathy.
