Anyone who thinks his time is too valuable to spend keeping quiet will eventually have no time for God and his brother, but only for himself and for his own follies...   We should listen with the ears of God that we may speak the Word of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Make no judgments where you have no compassion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53369]]></link><description><![CDATA[Make no judgments where you have no compassion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The final results won't be ready and ratified until a few days into next January after completing the investigation into ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34837]]></link><description><![CDATA[The final results won't be ready and ratified until a few days into next January after completing the investigation into all complaints.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34837</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A person with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62808]]></link><description><![CDATA[A person with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62808</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For, as a surfeit of the sweetest things The deepest loathing to the stomach brings,  Or as the heresies ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13272]]></link><description><![CDATA[For, as a surfeit of the sweetest things The deepest loathing to the stomach brings,  Or as the heresies that men do leave   Are hated most of those they did deceive,    So thou, my surfeit and my heresy,     Of all be hated, but the most of me!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we cannot do what we will, we must will what we can. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61610]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we cannot do what we will, we must will what we can.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let's be naughty and save Santa the trip. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8621]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let's be naughty and save Santa the trip.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8621</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There was a man bespake a think, Which when the owner home did bring,  He that made it did ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60068]]></link><description><![CDATA[There was a man bespake a think, Which when the owner home did bring,  He that made it did refuse it:   And he that brought it would not use it,    And he that hath it doth now know     Whether he hath it yea or no.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60068</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Is the system going to flatten you out and deny you your humanity, or are you going to be able ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65294]]></link><description><![CDATA[Is the system going to flatten you out and deny you your humanity, or are you going to be able to make use of the system to the attainment of human purposes?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65294</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is still complicated for all the sides in the group, not only Spain , ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41158]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is still complicated for all the sides in the group, not only Spain ,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41158</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is easier to square the circle than to get round a mathematician. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26510]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is easier to square the circle than to get round a mathematician.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So there he is at last.
