To eliminate the commercial viability of child pornography, we must stop the flow of money. To do that, we need the involvement of the world's leaders in the payments industry and the Internet. The founding members of the Financial Coalition Against Child Pornography are to be commended for joining this critical fight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34700</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Community cannot for long feed on itself; it can only flourish with the coming of others from beyond, their unknown ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9103]]></link><description><![CDATA[Community cannot for long feed on itself; it can only flourish with the coming of others from beyond, their unknown and undiscovered brothers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As innocent as a new-laid egg. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20952]]></link><description><![CDATA[As innocent as a new-laid egg.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20952</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We'll get some and take some home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33002]]></link><description><![CDATA[We'll get some and take some home.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33002</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Alfred the Great, King of the West Saxons, Scholar, 899 Commemoration of Cedd, Founding Abbot of Lastingham, Bishop ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7303]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Alfred the Great, King of the West Saxons, Scholar, 899 Commemoration of Cedd, Founding Abbot of Lastingham, Bishop of the East Saxons, 664    All the revelations of God, as well as the laws of men, go upon this presumption, that men are not stark fools, but that they will consider their interest and have some regard to the great concernment of their eternal salvation. And this is as much to secure men from mistake in matters of belief as God hath afforded to keep men from sin in matters of practice. He hath made no effectual and infallible provision that men shall not sin; and yet it would puzzle any man to give a good reason why God should take more care to secure men against errors in belief than against sin and wickedness in their lives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The goal is to create a new use for the manure that's surrounding the town ? as a biofuel, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33364]]></link><description><![CDATA[The goal is to create a new use for the manure that's surrounding the town ? as a biofuel,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33364</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody in America, in the modern generation, has read their mythology or legends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39875]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nobody in America, in the modern generation, has read their mythology or legends.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39875</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Changing our diet is something we choose to do, not something we are forced to do.

He is nothing of the kind: he is simply a man who is sure of his foundation, and is convinced that the only way to any true advancement is spiritual, and is Christ; and therefore he persists, in spite of all appearances, in clinging to Christ as the only foundation, and in building all his hopes for the future on the acceptance of Christ. He is not content with attacks upon symptoms of evil; they seem to him superficial: he goes to the roots. He cannot be content with teaching men Christian principles of conduct, "Christian ideals of social life" -- still less with the establishment of colleges and clubs. Nothing but Christ Himself, faith in Christ, the obedience of Christ, seems to him equal to the need, and nothing else is his work but the establishment of that foundation. In doing this he is not showing indifference to social evils, he is not standing aloof from beneficent movements; he is actively engaged in laying the axe to the roots of the trees which bear the evil. That is not indifference.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My advice is wait for the [industry] reports and strike up a dialogue with your utility at the local level. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38969]]></link><description><![CDATA[My advice is wait for the [industry] reports and strike up a dialogue with your utility at the local level.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38969</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let a fool hold his tongue and he will pass for a sage. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28112]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let a fool hold his tongue and he will pass for a sage.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28112</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45790]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45790</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yes, this is obviously a relief for us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41843]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yes, this is obviously a relief for us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The umpires are closer than we are.
