I trust it is not a cynical observation to say that they appear these days to be a requisite for popularity in some sections of the Church visible. Promoting self under the guise of promoting Christ is currently so common as to excite little notice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7265</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The universal subjugator, the commonplace. [Ger., Was uns alle bandigt, das Gemeine.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60137]]></link><description><![CDATA[The universal subjugator, the commonplace. [Ger., Was uns alle bandigt, das Gemeine.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60137</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A cardinal principle of Total Quality escapes too many managers: you cannot continuously improve interdependent systems and processes until you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5129]]></link><description><![CDATA[A cardinal principle of Total Quality escapes too many managers: you cannot continuously improve interdependent systems and processes until you progressively perfect interdependent, interpersonal relationships.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5129</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We compliment ourselves on being a pressure team.
