Grades are a cudgel to bludgeon the unwilling into doing what they don't want to do, an important instrument in inculcating children into a lifelong subservience to whatever authority happens to be thrust over them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good, honest, wholesome, hungry breakfast. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16352]]></link><description><![CDATA[A good, honest, wholesome, hungry breakfast.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. - On the first moonwalk, July 20, 1969. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60230]]></link><description><![CDATA[That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. - On the first moonwalk, July 20, 1969.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wish I could say that I am better this week than I was last week, but every day seems ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40064]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wish I could say that I am better this week than I was last week, but every day seems to be getting a little bit more difficult.
