The first involved machines which extended human muscle; the second used machines to extend the human nervous system (radio, television, telephones); the third is now utilizing machines which extend the human mind-computers. About half of all service workers (43 percent of the labor force by 2000) will be involved in collecting, analyzing, synthesizing, structuring, storing, or retrieving information... By 1995, 80 percent of all management will be "knowledge workers.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At Rome I love Tibur; then, like a weathercock, at Tibur Rome. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50190]]></link><description><![CDATA[At Rome I love Tibur; then, like a weathercock, at Tibur Rome.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50190</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't say you don't have enough time.

Just as the degree to which, in daily life, I feel the emotion of fear has very little to do with my rational judgment of the danger. I'd sooner have really nasty seas when I'm in an open boat than look down in perfect (actual) safety from the edge of a cliff. Similarly, I have confessed ghastly uncharities with less reluctance than small unmentionables -- or those sins which happen to be ungentlemanly as well as unchristian. Our emotional reactions to our own behaviour are of limited ethical significance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is foolish to pluck out one's hair for sorrow, as if grief could be assuaged by baldness. [Lat., Stultum ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18579]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is foolish to pluck out one's hair for sorrow, as if grief could be assuaged by baldness. [Lat., Stultum est in luctu capillum sibi evellere, quasi calvito maeror levaretur.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18579</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The children will not leave unless I do.

Can I really be expected to take this seriously?In fact, of course, it is necessary for it to be nonsense; if it made sense, it could be evaluated. The essence of modern intellectual snobbery is the 'emperor's new cloths' approach. Teachers, critics, our self-appointed intellectual elite, make it quite clear to us that if we cannot see the superlative nature of this 'art'- why, it merely shows our ignorance, our lack of sophistication and insight. Of course, they go beyond the storybook emperor's tailors, who dressed their victim in nothing and called it fine garments. The modern tailors dress the emperor in garbage.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only difference between a good shot and a bad shot is if it goes in or not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3795]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only difference between a good shot and a bad shot is if it goes in or not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Grammar is the grave of letters ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18124]]></link><description><![CDATA[Grammar is the grave of letters]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18124</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We anticipate that people will need immediate housing, a safe place.
