The prophets should have taught us a different lesson. They should have led us to feel that it was a solemn duty, not to conceal, but to bring forward all the evidence which proves, not that one country is better than another, or one portion of the church better than another, but that there is a principle of decay, a tendency to apostasy in all, and that no comfort can come from merely balancing symptoms of good here against symptoms of evil there, no comfort from considering whether we are a little less contentious, a little less idolatrous than our neighbors.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friends, Romans countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18990]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friends, Romans countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The economy is still growing, albeit at a more moderate pace than in the previous quarter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39867]]></link><description><![CDATA[The economy is still growing, albeit at a more moderate pace than in the previous quarter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Difficulty is the excuse history never accepts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65057]]></link><description><![CDATA[Difficulty is the excuse history never accepts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65057</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This dish of meat is too good for any but anglers, or very honest men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13284]]></link><description><![CDATA[This dish of meat is too good for any but anglers, or very honest men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13284</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10913]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like "What about lunch?"]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do all things with love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2088]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do all things with love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2088</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've raced on all seven continents at least twice.

Dick Maliska  Imagine if every Thursday your shoes exploded if you tied them the usual way. This happens to us all the time with computers, and nobody thinks of complaining. •Jeff Raskin   Applying computer technology is simply finding the right wrench to pound in the correct screw. •Anonymous   The Programmer's Time-Space Continuum is defined as "Programmers continuously space the time." •Leon Lanthier   Computers are useless - they only give you answers. •Pablo Picasso   "Paradosfunctionoracle" is the term used by technicians to describe the reason no one knows why your computer won't work. •J. H. Goldfuss   No machine will increase the possibilities of life. They only increase the possibilities of idleness. •John Ruskin   All programmers are playwrights and all computers are lousy actors. •Anonymous  Computers can figure out all kinds of problems, except the things in the world that just don't add up. •James Magary  Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes. •E W Dijkstra  Where a calculator on the ENIAC is equpped with 18,000 vaccuum tubes and weighs 30 tons, computers in the future may have only 1,000 vaccuum tubes and perhaps weigh 1 1/2 tons. •Popular Mechanics, 1949  Computers make it easier to do a lot of things, but most of the things they make it easier to do don't need to be done. •Andy Rooney  Not even computers will replace committees, because committees buy computers. •Edward Shepherd Mead  A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. •John Gall   There won't be anything we won't say to people to try and convince them that our way is the way to go. •Bill Gates  If you can't make it good, at least make it look good. •Bill Gates  Looking at the proliferation of personal web pages on the net, it looks like very soon everyone on earth will have 15 Megabytes of fame. •MG Siriam   Surfing on the Internet is like sex; everyone boasts about doing more than they actually do.

After all, it was designed to withstand nuclear war, not just the puny huffs and puffs of politicians and religious fanatics. •Denise Caruso   Wow! They've got the internet on computers now! •Homer Simpson  Man is a game playing animal and a computer is another way to play games. •Scott Adams  I do not fear computers.
