And those who are rich and who earn more than enough to support their own families are to be willing contributors to the common fund. The love of money -- the desire to accumulate wealth -- is the root of every kind of evil. The relation of one to another is to be that of members in one body, in which, if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the truest tests of integrity is its blunt refusal to be compromised. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22862]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the truest tests of integrity is its blunt refusal to be compromised.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Power tires only those who do not have it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35819]]></link><description><![CDATA[Power tires only those who do not have it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35819</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If it's simply an educational site, then I don't see it as a huge threat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31339]]></link><description><![CDATA[If it's simply an educational site, then I don't see it as a huge threat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31339</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3394]]></link><description><![CDATA[Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Insanity destroys reason, but not wit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61840]]></link><description><![CDATA[Insanity destroys reason, but not wit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Absolute power turns its possessors not into a God but an anti-God.
