Where do we come from? Why are we this way and not some other? What does it mean to be human? Are we capable, if need be, of fundamental change, or do the dead hands of forgotten ancestors impel us in some direction, indiscriminately for good or ill, and beyond our control? Can we alter our character? Can we improve our societies? Can we leave our children a world better than the one that was left to us? Can we free them from the demons that torment us and haunt our civilization? In the long run, are we wise enough to know what changes to make? Can we be trusted with our own future?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3398</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66069]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Almost everything you do will seem insignificant, but it is important that you do it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12714]]></link><description><![CDATA[Almost everything you do will seem insignificant, but it is important that you do it]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12714</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trinity Sunday   I vehemently dissent from those who would not have private persons read the Holy Scriptures, nor ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7578]]></link><description><![CDATA[Trinity Sunday   I vehemently dissent from those who would not have private persons read the Holy Scriptures, nor have them translated into the vulgar tongues. I would wish that all women -- girls even -- would read the Gospels and the letters of Paul. I wish that they were translated into all languages of all people. To make them understood is surely the first step. It may be that they might be ridiculed by many, but some would take them to heart. I long that the husbandman should sing portions of them to himself as he follows the plough, that the weaver should hum them to the tune of his shuttle, that the traveller should beguile with their stories the tedium of his journey.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no past or future.

You can find positive signs or you can find negative signs. How you evaluate them depends on something that happened in your life recently or something like that. There's no objective way to do it. The important thing is you try to commit yourself to making the positive signs more real. Suppose you felt that there's 99 percent of a probability that human civilization is going to be destroyed in the next hundred years, but one percent chance it won't be, and that one percent offers some opportunities to do something. Well, you commit yourself to that one percent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A jest's prosperity lies in the ear Of him that hears it, never in the tongue Of him that makes ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55505]]></link><description><![CDATA[A jest's prosperity lies in the ear Of him that hears it, never in the tongue Of him that makes it. -Love's Labour 's Lost.
