One evening, as he wandered through the suburbs with his whole attention fixed on the sky, he fell accidentally into a deep well. While he lamented and bewailed his sores and bruises, and cried loudly for help, a neighbor ran to the well, and learning what had happened said: Hark ye, old fellow, why, in striving to pry into what is in heaven, do you not manage to see what is on earth?'.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1567</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On a 60-mile stretch of road from Mutlaa, Kuwait, to Basra, Iraq, a convoy of more than 2,000 vehicles and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5441]]></link><description><![CDATA[On a 60-mile stretch of road from Mutlaa, Kuwait, to Basra, Iraq, a convoy of more than 2,000 vehicles and tens of thousands of Iraqi soldiers and civilians were fleeing. These were people who were putting up no resistance, many with no weapons, leaving in cars, trucks, carts, and on foot. The American armed forces bombed one endof the main highway from Kuwait City to Basra, sealing it off andthen bombed the other end of the highway, sealing it off. Theypositioned mechanized artillery units on the hill overlooking thearea and then, both from the air and the land, massacred every livingthing on the road. Fighter bombers, helicopter gunships, and armoredbattalions poured merciless firepower on those trapped in the trafficjams, backed up as much as 20 miles. One U.S. pilot reportedlysaid, It was like shooting fish in a barrel. That fateful stretchof road has since been dubbed the Highway of Death.In a report submitted to the Commission of Inquiry for theInternational War Crimes Tribunal, charges are made that those killedwere Palestinian and Kuwaiti civilians trying to escape the siege ofKuwait City and the return of Kuwaiti armed forces. The report claimsthat no attempt was made by U.S. military command to distinguishbetween military personnel and civilians.*****The Guardian newspaper in the UK has written of the 9000Iraqis killed by the RAF bombs in 1920, one of the 6 timesBritish oil interests have violated the people of Iraq in thelast 86 years.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are taking this storm very seriously.

Try as he may, he can only let his eyes wander distractedly from one to the other. But there is a place at which God and the cosmic reality are reconciled, a place at which God and man have become one. That and that alone is what enables man to set his eyes upon God and the world at the same time. This place does not lie somewhere out beyond reality in the realm of ideas. It lies in the midst of history as a divine miracle. It lies in Jesus Christ, the reconciler of the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8596</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continue to express your dissent and your needs, but remember to remain civilized, for you will sorely miss civilization if ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12570]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continue to express your dissent and your needs, but remember to remain civilized, for you will sorely miss civilization if it is sacrified in the turbulence of change]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By speaking of our misfortunes we often relieve them. [Fr., A raconter ses maux souvent on les soulage.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42801]]></link><description><![CDATA[By speaking of our misfortunes we often relieve them. [Fr., A raconter ses maux souvent on les soulage.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42801</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Right now there is no sense of urgency and no accountability.
