I believe that humanity is master of its own fate... Before we can change direction, we have to question many of the assumptions underlying our current philosophy. Assumptions like bigger is better; you can't stop progress; no speed is too fast; globalization is good. Then we have to replace them with some different assumptions: small is beautiful; roots and traditions are worth preserving; variety is the spice of life; the only work worth doing is meaningful work; biodiversity is the necessary pre-condition for human survival.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fatigue is the best pillow ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15415]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fatigue is the best pillow]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15415</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People in the community who served on our advisory panel about the project told us they wanted the station to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41659]]></link><description><![CDATA[People in the community who served on our advisory panel about the project told us they wanted the station to have a sense of place, an identity as a destination, and that's what these signs are designed to do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41659</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's always been Tom's philosophy and to this day that if we are going to do it -- we are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40458]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's always been Tom's philosophy and to this day that if we are going to do it -- we are going to do it right.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Getting rid of a man without hurting his masculinity is a problem.

If life be long I will be glad,  That I may long obey; If short--yet why should I be sad  To soar to endless day? Christ leads me through no darker rooms  Than He went through before; He that unto God's kingdom comes,  Must enter by this door. Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet  Thy blessed face to see; For if Thy work on earth be sweet,  What will Thy glory be! Then shall I end my sad complaints,  And weary, sinful days; And join with the triumphant saints,  To sing Jehovah's praise. My knowledge of that life is small,  The eye of faith is dim; But 'tis enough that Christ knows all,  And I shall be with him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7724</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What you perceive, your observations, feelings, interpretations, are all your truth.

In these days when power and size and speed are almost universally admired, it seems to me particularly important to study afresh the "weakness", the "smallness of entry", and the "slowness" of God as He begins His vast work of reconstructing His disordered world. We are all tempted to take short cuts, to work for quick results, and to evade painful sacrifice. It is therefore essential that we should look again at love incarnate in a human being, to see God Himself at work within the limitations of human personality, and to base our methods on what we see Him do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.
