Over the last year we've had a little of this indigestion from a lot of mergers over a short period. We needed to take a little breather to refocus on organic revenue growth, and we think we're near that period of time where our internal operations are where we want, so we're looking at getting back into the (M&A) business.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you can walk you can dance.

The Bible characterizes men in such a state as "lost", and as being "without hope in the world"... And let no one suppose that such a term as "lost" is merely a bit of conventional theological jargon. It stands for a terrible reality, a reality which modern man in his modern predicament knows only too well from his own bitter experience. It gives rise to the voices of despair which haunt our radios, our newspapers, our fiction and poetry, our stage and screen, our doctors' offices, our hospital wards, our grisly nightmare of atomic war, and the conversation of common people who no sooner meet than they begin to bemoan the fate that has overtaken the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most useful piece of learning for the uses of life is to unlearn what is untrue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29530]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most useful piece of learning for the uses of life is to unlearn what is untrue.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Paranoia is an illness I contracted in institutions.

Genuine spiritual authority is to be found only where the ministry of hearing, helping, bearing, and proclaiming is carried out. Every cult of personality that emphasizes the distinguished qualities, virtues, and talents of another person, even though these be of an altogether spiritual nature, is worldly and has no place in the Christian community; indeed, it poisons the Christian community...   Genuine authority realizes that it can exist only in the service of Him who alone has authority... The Church does not need brilliant personalities but faithful servants of Jesus and the brethren...   Pastoral authority can be attained only by the servant of Jesus who seeks no power of his own, who himself is a brother among brothers to the authority of the Word.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8611</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/112]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/112</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You don't need an explanation for everything, Recognize that there are such things as miracles -- events for which there ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22560]]></link><description><![CDATA[You don't need an explanation for everything, Recognize that there are such things as miracles -- events for which there are no ready explanations.
