For those who busy themselves to know the will of God, however, it is still true that "those who want to save their life will lose it." My extreme preoccupation with knowing God's will for me may only indicate, contrary to what is often thought, that I am overconcerned with myself, not a Christlike interest in the well-being of others or in the glory of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is wasted on the living. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25026]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is wasted on the living.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25026</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[FORTRAN --'the infantile disorder'--, by now nearly 20 years old, is hopelessly inadequate for whatever computer application you have in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9523]]></link><description><![CDATA[FORTRAN --'the infantile disorder'--, by now nearly 20 years old, is hopelessly inadequate for whatever computer application you have in mind today: it is now too clumsy, too risky, and too expensive to use.PL/I --'the fatal disease'-- belongs more to the problem set than to the solution set.It is practically impossible to teach good programming to students that have had a prior exposure to BASIC: as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration.The use of COBOL cripples the mind; its teaching should, therefore, be regarded as a criminal offence.APL is a mistake, carried through to perfection.

The best leaders of all, the people know not they exist. They turn to each other and say We did it ourselves.   The mind that does not understand is the Buddha. There is no other. •Ma-Tsu   You cannot describe it or draw it. You cannot praise it enough or perceive it. No place can be found in which to put the Original Face; it will not disappear even when the universe is destroyed. •Mumon  Learning Zen is a phenomenon of gold and dung. Before you understand it, it's like gold; after you understand it, it's like dung. •Zen Saying  No thought, no reflection, no analysis, no cultivation, no intention; let it settle itself. •Tilopa   When you pass through, no one can pin you down, no one can call you back. •Ying-An   There are no mundane things outside of Buddhism, and there is no Buddhism outside of mundane things. •Yuan-Wu  The only Zen you find on the tops of mountains is the Zen you bring up there. •Robert M. Pirsig  Man stands in his own shadow and wonders why it's dark. •Zen Proverb  Sit quietly, doing nothing, spring comes, and the grass grows by itself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person; having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16921]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person; having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but to pour them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then, with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away. -George Eliot.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes our fate resembles a fruit tree in winter.

He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly as necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I draw most of my religious beliefs from Star Wars. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4087]]></link><description><![CDATA[I draw most of my religious beliefs from Star Wars.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4087</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This has been the first real test since FEMA (U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency) was put under Homeland Security and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41516]]></link><description><![CDATA[This has been the first real test since FEMA (U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency) was put under Homeland Security and obviously it didn't work and I think they will want to reexamine how they respond to disasters.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tell your friend a lie.
