This happens to us all the time with computers, and nobody thinks of complaining. •Jeff Raskin   Applying computer technology is simply finding the right wrench to pound in the correct screw. •Anonymous   The Programmer's Time-Space Continuum is defined as "Programmers continuously space the time." •Leon Lanthier   Computers are useless - they only give you answers. •Pablo Picasso   "Paradosfunctionoracle" is the term used by technicians to describe the reason no one knows why your computer won't work. •J.

If He should now come, would He find it in us? What fruits of faith have we to show? Do we look upon this life only as a short passage to a better? Do we believe that we must suffer with Jesus Christ before we can reign with Him? Do we consider this world as a deceitful appearance, and death as the entrance to true happiness? Do we live by faith? Does it animate us? Do we relish the eternal truths it presents us with? Are we as careful to nourish our souls with those truths as to maintain our bodies with proper diet? Do we accustom ourselves to see all things in the light of faith? Do we correct all our judgements by it?  Alas! The greater part of Christians think and act like mere heathens; if we judge (as we justly may) of their faith by their practice, we must conclude they have no faith at all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us learn to show our friendship for a man when he is alive and not after he is dead. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65979]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let us learn to show our friendship for a man when he is alive and not after he is dead.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We controlled the match completely but after the break we took advantage and created space to score four goals, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33648]]></link><description><![CDATA[We controlled the match completely but after the break we took advantage and created space to score four goals,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33648</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But men never violate the laws of God without suffering the consequences, sooner or later. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53274]]></link><description><![CDATA[But men never violate the laws of God without suffering the consequences, sooner or later.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53274</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I knew a very wise man that believed that . . . if a man were permitted to make all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3696]]></link><description><![CDATA[I knew a very wise man that believed that . . . if a man were permitted to make all the ballads, he need not care who should make the laws of a nation.   - Andrew Fletcher of Saltoun (2),]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3696</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I went and took it to the label, and they loved it, so we put it on the record. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37310]]></link><description><![CDATA[I went and took it to the label, and they loved it, so we put it on the record.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Out spoke the victor then, As he hail'd them o'er the wave,  Ye are brothers! ye are men!  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60574]]></link><description><![CDATA[Out spoke the victor then, As he hail'd them o'er the wave,  Ye are brothers! ye are men!   And we conquer but to save;    So peace instead of death let us bring;     But yield, proud foe, let us bring;      With the crews, at England's feet,       And make submission meet        To our King.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[In Clovis,] we'll lose about a million dollars, ...
