In fact, I believe that this government effort is a fishing expedition that unnecessarily disrupts the normal business operations of resellers and the manufacturers that supply them. If the government thought something was really wrong, they wouldn't have cast such a wide net to go hunting. I think this is a classic example of prosecutorial overreach.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As much as I didn't want to change, lifestyles do change. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31831]]></link><description><![CDATA[As much as I didn't want to change, lifestyles do change.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31831</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better to understand a little than to misunderstand a lot. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1278]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better to understand a little than to misunderstand a lot.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1278</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Physicians mend or end us; but though in health we sneer; when sick we call them to attend us, without ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23205]]></link><description><![CDATA[Physicians mend or end us; but though in health we sneer; when sick we call them to attend us, without the least propensity to jeer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Divine Perfections.

How shall I praise th' eternal God,  That Infinite Unknown? Who can ascend his high abode,   Or venture near his throne? The great invisible! He dwells  Conceal'd in dazzling light: But his all-searching eye reveals  The secrets of the night. Those watchful eyes that never sleep,  Survey the world around; His wisdom is the boundless deep,  Where all our thoughts are drown'd.  He knows no shadow of a change,  Nor alters his decrees; Firm as a rock his truth remains,   To guard his promises.  Justice, upon a dreadful throne,  Maintains the rights of God; While mercy sends her pardons down,  Bought with a Saviour's blood. Now to my soul immortal King,   Speak some forgiving word; Then `twill be double joy to sing  The glories of my Lord.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A human being is a part of a whole, called by us _universe_, a part limited in time and space. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65426]]></link><description><![CDATA[A human being is a part of a whole, called by us _universe_, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Answer to the Great Question Of . . .

To say that we must wait for the other world, to know the mind of Him who came to this world to give Himself to us, seems to me the foolishness of a worldly and lazy spirit. The Son of God is the teacher of men, giving to them of His Spirit -- that Spirit which manifests the deep things of God, being to a man the mind of Christ.
