We have a tendency it seems to over complicate our livesand forget what's important and what's not. We tend to mistake movementfor achievement. We tend to focus on activities instead of results. And asthe pace of life continues to race along in the outside world, we forgetthat we have the power to control our lives regardless of what's going onoutside.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have been encouraged by the results of a couple successful campaigns that we've featured to help promote them, but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31640]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have been encouraged by the results of a couple successful campaigns that we've featured to help promote them, but the overall impact of the format has still been nominal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31640</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What prevents a man's speaking good sense with a smile on his face? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50385]]></link><description><![CDATA[What prevents a man's speaking good sense with a smile on his face?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50385</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing becomes so offensive so quickly as grief.

It has failed to understand that the world is not for the beholding. It is for hearing. It is not legible, but audible. Our science has always desired to monitor, measure, abstract, and castrate meaning, forgetting that life is full of noise and that death alone is silent: work noise, noise of man, and noise of beast. Noise bought, sold, or prohibited. Nothing essential happens in the absence of noise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mystery of government is not how Washington works but how to make it stop. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47103]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mystery of government is not how Washington works but how to make it stop.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But I can tell you what I believe: When tens of thousands of innocent souls have perished in Darfur-when 11 ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18969]]></link><description><![CDATA[But I can tell you what I believe: When tens of thousands of innocent souls have perished in Darfur-when 11 million children are without health insurance-when our colossal debt subjects our economic future to the whims of Asian bankers-no one can tell me that faith demands this Senate spend its time arguing over a handful of judges.

This obsession with roots will be felt especially keenly by foundlings, who often have no way of exploring their family histories.] I notice that genealogical sites now have warnings on them saying people should be ready for little surprises, ... They're not all going to find themselves descended from King Henry VIII or Richard Cur de Lion or Wellington. This is rather strange because it was pretty taken for granted a few generations ago that families had all kinds of little moments where things had gone not according to the book. It was just one of those things. You tried to accommodate it. There was no social welfare. You just had to sort it out within villages, the families, the parish. Children went to the workhouse, but people knew about it. Nowadays, there's a kind of surprise that these cases were so commonplace.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Little things affect little minds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59707]]></link><description><![CDATA[Little things affect little minds.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59707</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The whole trouble is that we won't let God help us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20729]]></link><description><![CDATA[The whole trouble is that we won't let God help us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20729</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There comes a time when you have to stand up and shout:This is me damn it!
