But the investment was so big they felt compelled to go on. Since its completion, it cost a fortune to maintain and is still in danger of collapsing. There are no plans to replace it, since it was never needed in the first place. I expect every installation has its own pet software which is analogous to the above.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The eye sees a thing more clearly in dreams than the imagination awake. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14807]]></link><description><![CDATA[The eye sees a thing more clearly in dreams than the imagination awake.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I invent nothing, I rediscover. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3263]]></link><description><![CDATA[I invent nothing, I rediscover.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Clouds consign their treasures to the fields; And, softly shaking on the dimpled pool  Prelusive drops, let all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52941]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Clouds consign their treasures to the fields; And, softly shaking on the dimpled pool  Prelusive drops, let all their moisture flow   In large effusion, o'er the freshen'd world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52941</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A true man of honor feels humbled himself when he cannot help humbling others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17367]]></link><description><![CDATA[A true man of honor feels humbled himself when he cannot help humbling others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17367</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Erotica is using a feather, pornography is using the whole chicken. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36760]]></link><description><![CDATA[Erotica is using a feather, pornography is using the whole chicken.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36760</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would rather not be a king than to forfeit my liberty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24701]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would rather not be a king than to forfeit my liberty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Bernard, Abbot of Clairvaux, Teacher, 1153 Commemoration of William & Catherine Booth, Founders of the Salvation Army, 1912 ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7741]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Bernard, Abbot of Clairvaux, Teacher, 1153 Commemoration of William & Catherine Booth, Founders of the Salvation Army, 1912 & 1890  Be careful to be found a wise and faithful servant, and communicate the heavenly to your fellow servants without envy or idleness. Do not take up the vain excuse of your rawness of inexperience which you may imagine or assume. For sterile modesty is never pleasing, not that humility laudable which passes the bounds of reason. Attend to your work; drive out bashfulness by a sense of duty, and act as a master. But I am not sufficient for these things, you say. As if your offering were not accepted from what you have, and not from what you have not. Be prepared to answer for the single talent committed to your charge, and take no thought for the test. For he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. Give all, as assuredly you shall pay to the uttermost farthing; but of a truth out of what you have, not what you have not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1370]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1370</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not interested in age.
