Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded- here and there, now and then- are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.This is known as "bad luck.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fame is the thirst of youth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15082]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fame is the thirst of youth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15082</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If thou art willing to suffer no adversity, how wilt thou be the friend of Christ? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7941]]></link><description><![CDATA[If thou art willing to suffer no adversity, how wilt thou be the friend of Christ?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7941</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Current condition of the BYU football program?
