So, beware of single-tax proposals. The U.S. government blows more money than any single tax can generate. The key is to tax multiple bases, disparate in nature, and with simple flat rates. That is a system both fair and sustatinable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58687</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Absolutism tempered by assassination. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43392]]></link><description><![CDATA[Absolutism tempered by assassination.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43392</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Their pitchers did a very good job of pitching to us and we didn't have the hits, but when you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37291]]></link><description><![CDATA[Their pitchers did a very good job of pitching to us and we didn't have the hits, but when you don't have the hits you have to try find another way to win.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rituals are important.

But surely a man's hunger does prove that he comes of a race which repairs its body by eating and inhabits a world where eatable substances exist. In the same way, though I do not believe (I wish I did) that my desire for Paradise proves that I shall enjoy it, I think it a pretty good indication that such a thing exists and that some men will. A man may love a woman and not win her; but it would be very odd if the phenomenon called `falling in love" occurred in a sexless world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One thing that makes art different from life is that in art things have a shape... it allows us to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3301]]></link><description><![CDATA[One thing that makes art different from life is that in art things have a shape... it allows us to fix our emotions on events at the moment they occur, it permits a union of heart and mind and tongue and tear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3301</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The crows seemed to be calling his name, thought Caw. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11714]]></link><description><![CDATA[The crows seemed to be calling his name, thought Caw.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11714</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't know how many people we're going to have participating, but if those people don't give 100 percent on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36503]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't know how many people we're going to have participating, but if those people don't give 100 percent on Friday, we will get embarrassed at home.

By this we do not mean any particular part of the Church; what we do mean is that conversion must leave one linked in loving fellowship with one's fellow believers. Conversion is not something simply between a man and Jesus Christ, with no other person involved. True, it may start in that way; but it cannot end in that way. Conversion is not individualistic. It is, in fact, just the opposite. It joins man to his fellow men, and certainly does not separate him from them.

Did you know that every time a guy comes he comes two-hundred million sperm? One out of TWO-HUNDRED MILLION – that load, we're only talking about one load – connected: gee, what are the fucking odds? Do you know what that means? I've wiped nations off've my chest with a grey gymsock. ENTIRE CIVILISATIONS HAVE FLAKED AND CRUSTED IN THE HAIR AROUND MY NAVEL!
