We don't know if the next rupture will look like 1906 earthquake, but we know that many of the same areas hit hard in 1906, like San Francisco, Santa Rosa, and the Santa Cruz mountains will be hit hard again in the next large earthquake on the San Andreas Fault .]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He mouths a sentence as curs mouth a bone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45229]]></link><description><![CDATA[He mouths a sentence as curs mouth a bone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45229</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fire, water and government know nothing of mercy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27331]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fire, water and government know nothing of mercy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27331</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59719]]></link><description><![CDATA[If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59719</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Barnabas the Apostle   A united confession of the Name, a united worship of the Father, the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7335]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Barnabas the Apostle   A united confession of the Name, a united worship of the Father, the Son, and the Spirit -- such a Confession, such a Worship, as the past contains only a dim shadow of -- we have a right to look for. It may come when we least expect it; it will probably come after a period of darkness, fierce contention, utter disbelief. But the confession will only be united when we cease to confound our feeble expressions of trust and affiance, our praises and adorations, with Him to whom they rise, from whom they proceed; when we are brought to nothingness, that He may be shown to be all in all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7335</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If your great umbrage would care to meet my high dudgeon at 12 paces, I would be happy to entertain ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30043]]></link><description><![CDATA[If your great umbrage would care to meet my high dudgeon at 12 paces, I would be happy to entertain you at dawn.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I talk to college students about Spy, it's like I'm describing something that happened in the 19th century.

Avoid a frontal attack on a long established position; instead, seek to turn it by flank movement, so that a more penetrable side is exposed to the thrust of truth.
