Over the last year we've had a little of this indigestion from a lot of mergers over a short period. We needed to take a little breather to refocus on organic revenue growth, and we think we're near that period of time where our internal operations are where we want, so we're looking at getting back into the (M&A) business.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A storm in a cream bowl.   - James Butler, first Duke of Ormonde, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57895]]></link><description><![CDATA[A storm in a cream bowl.   - James Butler, first Duke of Ormonde,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of James Hannington, Bishop of Eastern Equatorial Africa, Martyr in Uganda, 1885  Continuing a short series on prayer: ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8224]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of James Hannington, Bishop of Eastern Equatorial Africa, Martyr in Uganda, 1885  Continuing a short series on prayer:   Madness frequently discovers itself merely by unnecessary deviation from the usual modes of the world. My poor friend Christopher Smart showed the disturbance of his mind, by falling upon his knees, and saying his prayers in the street, or in any other unusual place. Now although, rationally speaking, it is greater madness not to pray at all, than to pray as Smart did, I am afraid there are so many who do not pray, that their understanding is not called in question... I did not think he ought to be shut up. His infirmities were not noxious to society. He insisted on people praying with him; and I'd as lief pray with Kit Smart as any.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Focus on competition has always been a formula for mediocrity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57438]]></link><description><![CDATA[Focus on competition has always been a formula for mediocrity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62140]]></link><description><![CDATA[Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62140</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shun an inquisitive man, he is invariably a tell-tale. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50323]]></link><description><![CDATA[Shun an inquisitive man, he is invariably a tell-tale.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It helped out a lot that I was in Providence.

They want desperately to perceive a vast gulf between man and the rest of creation. This mythology of human superiority justifies their doing whatever they please with the world, just the way Hitler’s mythology of Aryan superiority justified his doing whatever he pleased with Europe. But in the end this mythology is not deeply satisfying. The Takers are a profoundly lonely people. The world for them is enemy territory, and they live in it like an army of occupation, alienated and isolated by their extraordinary specialness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art is an experience, not the formulation of a problem. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3251]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art is an experience, not the formulation of a problem.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn.
