However, not every one of them is inhabited. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely products of a deranged imagination.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34017</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While most of us are breathing a sigh of relief I want to remind residents that hurricane season does not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31036]]></link><description><![CDATA[While most of us are breathing a sigh of relief I want to remind residents that hurricane season does not end until Nov. 30, ...

On the most general level, they're an explicit acknowledgment that what you're doing is insufficiently interesting or rewarding for you to do it on your own. Nobody ever gave you a grade for learning how to play, how to ride a bicycle, or how to kiss. One of the best ways to destroy love for any of these activities would be through the use of grades, and the coercion and judgment they represent. Grades are a cudgel to bludgeon the unwilling into doing what they don't want to do, an important instrument in inculcating children into a lifelong subservience to whatever authority happens to be thrust over them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Try not to become a man of success but a man of value. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65563]]></link><description><![CDATA[Try not to become a man of success but a man of value.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love's gift cannot be given, it waits to be accepted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17425]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love's gift cannot be given, it waits to be accepted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You're never too old to become younger ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62529]]></link><description><![CDATA[You're never too old to become younger]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're just trying to find the right combination of what will ultimately be our best group. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36009]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're just trying to find the right combination of what will ultimately be our best group.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36009</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Know all and you will pardon all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16507]]></link><description><![CDATA[Know all and you will pardon all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Silence is one great art of conversation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25512]]></link><description><![CDATA[Silence is one great art of conversation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25512</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What happens if you get scared half to death twice?. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11426]]></link><description><![CDATA[What happens if you get scared half to death twice?.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's quiet, it's offset.
