One builds it daily by the way one thinks and acts, thought by thought, action by action. If one lets fear or hate or anger take possession of the mind, they become self-forged chains. -Helen Douglas.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am delighted to see him back again.

They're fun and entertaining. But there's a limit to what consumers will spend -- they're already buying games, ring tones, videos, and music. The average cell-phone bill is already around $50. And consumers have shown [a willingness] to spend an extra 5% to 10% a month for data services. But they're not going to spend an unlimited amount for more and more services.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39334</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[American public education is a remarkable enterprise; it succeeds best where it fails.

Imagine an industry that consistently fails to do what it sets out to do. a factory where this year's product is invariably sleazier than last year's but, nevertheless, better than next year's. Imagine a corporation whose executives are always spending vast sums of money on studies designed to discover just what it is they are supposed to do and then vaster sums for further studies on just how to do it. Imagine a plant devoted to the manufacture of factory seconds to be sold at a loss. Imagine a producer of vacuum cleaners that rarely work hiring whole platoons of engineers who will, in time, report that it is, in fact, true that the vacuum cleaners rarely really work, and who will, for a larger fee, be glad to find out why, if that's possible. If you discover some such outfit, don't invest in it. Unfortunately, we are all required to invest in public education.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They say "practice" makes perfect " Of course, it doesn't.

I am referring to the almost total ignorance of the content and implication of the Christian Faith shown by many "clever" people today. Frankly, I find it horrifying to discover that men who are experts in their own line -- in astronomy, genetics, or nuclear physics, for example -- have no adult knowledge of what the Church of Christ stands for, and a complete blank ignorance of what the Church is achieving today. It is the more horrifying because people who rightly respect the expert for his knowledge in his own field have no idea that he has not carefully examined and reluctantly discarded Christianity; but in all probability he has never studied it at all!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Somebody is going to have to step in and take the load. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33921]]></link><description><![CDATA[Somebody is going to have to step in and take the load.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are losing a tug of war with a tiger, give him the rope before he gets to your ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25566]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are losing a tug of war with a tiger, give him the rope before he gets to your arm.
