But it's tough to work with, especially when you get the curly koa. Because of the complexity of the grain, it's a very challenging wood. Mango is a fabulous wood and it's underrated. For some reason, it doesn't carry the influence that koa does. Mango is some beautiful wood. I work some 30 varieties, generally, because I love the variety.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who is firm in will molds the world to himself. [Ger., Aber wer fest auf dem Sinne beharrt, der ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61595]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who is firm in will molds the world to himself. [Ger., Aber wer fest auf dem Sinne beharrt, der bildet die Welt sich.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61595</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am hyper about not using numbers that exaggerate and inflame.

He reaches out to foreigners who are beyond the borders of the "Israel of God". He seeks the release of captives, prisoners, and slaves. He denounces the scribes and religious leaders who "devour the houses of widows". Despite his well-known requirement of loyalty that surpasses family ties, he insists that a man put the care of his own parents ahead of his obligations to his religion. His treatment of women is radically opposed to the strictures of that day. He exhibits sympathy and understanding toward children. He operates an out-patient clinic wherever he happens to be. He insists upon justice as the basis for everyday dealings between citizens. The social teaching of parables like "the good Samaritan" and incidents such as the encounter with the rich young ruler have had an effect upon his followers that cannot easily be measured. If one summary statement of Jesus' ethics can be made, it is that love of God is best shown by love of fellow men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who speaks ill of an absent friend, or fails to take his part if attacked by another, that man ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50252]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who speaks ill of an absent friend, or fails to take his part if attacked by another, that man is a scoundrel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50252</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wise learn many things from their foes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52439]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wise learn many things from their foes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52439</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wondrous is this great, blue ship that sails around the mighty sun and joy to everyone that rides along. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43540]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wondrous is this great, blue ship that sails around the mighty sun and joy to everyone that rides along.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43540</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do villainy, do, since you protest to do't, Like workmen.
