That way, if some smart-aleck cowboy said something like 'Hey, look. He's carrying a soldering iron!' and started laughing, and everybody else started laughing, I could just say, 'That's right, it's a soldering iron. The soldering iron of justice.' Then everybody would get real quiet and ashamed, because they had made fun of the soldering iron of justice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20082</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O conscience, upright and stainless, how bitter a sting to thee is a little fault!. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14612]]></link><description><![CDATA[O conscience, upright and stainless, how bitter a sting to thee is a little fault!.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O jest unseen, inscrutable, invisible, As a nose on a man's face, or a weathercock on a steeple. -The Two ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55332]]></link><description><![CDATA[O jest unseen, inscrutable, invisible, As a nose on a man's face, or a weathercock on a steeple. -The Two Gentleman of Verona.

Clearly the more premature an infant is when he is born, the greater likelihood of complications. In fact, according to the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services National Center for Health Statistics, complications stemming from short gestation and low birth weight are the second leading causes of infant mortality in the United States. Ironically, the advanced medical technologies used in the United States tend to increase our infant mortality rate, not decrease it. In the United States, advanced technologies and procedures have made it more practical in recent years for medical professionals to attempt to save severely premature infants. Such attempts do not always succeed, adding to the rate of infant mortality.] Resuscitation is more likely to be attempted on extremely premature babies born in the United States than in many other countries, ... The extremely premature babies on whom resuscitation is unsuccessful are then counted as infant deaths, whereas they are counted as fetal deaths when resuscitation has not been attempted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38393</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was a queen, and you took away my crown; a wife, and you killed my husband; a mother, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41604]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was a queen, and you took away my crown; a wife, and you killed my husband; a mother, and you deprived me of my children.
