It has run its course. It is vain for eloquent atheists to talk of the great truths that will be revealed if once we see free thought begin. We have seen it end. It has no more questions to ask; it has questioned itself. You cannot call up any wilder vision than a city in which men ask themselves if they have any selves. You cannot fancy a more skeptical world than that in which men doubt whether there is a world. It might certainly have reached its bankruptcy more quickly and cleanly if it had not been feebly hampered by the application of indefensible laws of blasphemy or by the absurd pretense that modern England is Christian. But it would have reached the bankruptcy anyhow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now stir the fire, and close the shudders fast, Let fall the curtains, wheel the sofa round,  And while ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58703]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now stir the fire, and close the shudders fast, Let fall the curtains, wheel the sofa round,  And while the bubbling and loud-hissing urn   Throws up a steamy column, and the cups,    That cheer but not inebriate, wait on each,     So let us welcome peaceful evening in.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58703</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is the only game that is not called on account of darkness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25758]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is the only game that is not called on account of darkness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25758</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He knows not his own strength that hath not met adversity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1096]]></link><description><![CDATA[He knows not his own strength that hath not met adversity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1096</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's still learning how to run.
