Grades are a cudgel to bludgeon the unwilling into doing what they don't want to do, an important instrument in inculcating children into a lifelong subservience to whatever authority happens to be thrust over them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You don't take a chance on infecting another team. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33298]]></link><description><![CDATA[You don't take a chance on infecting another team.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only two classes of books are of universal appeal.
