What do you tell me? is this a beau, Cotilus? Then a beau, Cotilus, is a very trifling thing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16423</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Are not these woods More free from peril than the envious court? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51230]]></link><description><![CDATA[Are not these woods More free from peril than the envious court?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're Crockett and Tubbs from 'Miami Vice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30514]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're Crockett and Tubbs from 'Miami Vice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30514</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All programmers are playwrights and all computers are lousy actors. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9415]]></link><description><![CDATA[All programmers are playwrights and all computers are lousy actors.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9415</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ay, many flowering islands lie In the waters of wide Agony. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23085]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ay, many flowering islands lie In the waters of wide Agony.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23085</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I want to work with the top people, because only they have the courage and the confidence and the risk-seeking ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22289]]></link><description><![CDATA[I want to work with the top people, because only they have the courage and the confidence and the risk-seeking profile that you need.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You may not like this man.

I suffered a mild depression... When [an episcopal priest] prayed for my recovery, I choked up and wept. The only prayer I knew word for word was the Pater Noster. On that day and in the days after it, I found myself repeating the Lord's Prayer, again and again, and meaning every word of it. Quite suddenly, when I was awake one night, a light dawned on me, and I realized what had happened...

If, after all His claims and promises, Christ had died and merely lived on as a fragrant memory, He would only be revered as an extremely good but profoundly mistaken man. His claims to be God, His claims to be Himself the very principle of life, would be mere self-delusion. His authoritative pronouncements on the nature of God and Man and Life would be at once suspect. Why should He be right about the lesser things, if He was proved to be completely wrong in the greater?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To generalize is to be an idiot.
