Even though much of what we have exists only as a series of ones and zeroes somewhere in the information sphere, we do get paper copies and we should hang on to those. The movie 'The Net,' I think, makes a very intriguing point, about this very computer literate protagonist who has few human connections, and this is precisely the reason she's vulnerable to the kind of attack she suffers. It seems to me that if we keep that in mind we'll be well served.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38707</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a woman ceases to alter the fashion of her hair, you guess that she has passed the crisis of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42083]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a woman ceases to alter the fashion of her hair, you guess that she has passed the crisis of her experience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42083</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who steals a bugle-horn, a ring, a steed, Or such like worthless thing, has some discretion;  'Tis petty larceny: ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59125]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who steals a bugle-horn, a ring, a steed, Or such like worthless thing, has some discretion;  'Tis petty larceny: not such his deed   Who robs us of our fame, our best possession.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59125</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every tear is answered by a blossom, Every sigh with songs and laughter blent,  April-blooms upon the breezes toss ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2979]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every tear is answered by a blossom, Every sigh with songs and laughter blent,  April-blooms upon the breezes toss them.   April knows her own, and is content.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2979</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Martyrs of Japan, 1597   The Christian must be consumed with the infinite beauty of holiness and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7563]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Martyrs of Japan, 1597   The Christian must be consumed with the infinite beauty of holiness and the infinite damnability of sin.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou can'st not die.

For if philosophers become kings or scientists commissars, they become politicians, and the powers given to the state are powers given to men who are rulers of states, men subject to all the limitations and temptations of their dangerous craft. Unless this is borne in mind, there will be a dangerous optimistic tendency to sweep aside doubts and fears as irrelevant, since, in the state that the projectors have in mind, power will be exercised by men of a wisdom and degree of moral virtue that we have not yet seen. It won't. It will be exercised by men who will be men first and rulers next and scientists and saints long after.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People have said that NeXT is 5 to 7 years ahead of the competition, ...
