It can corrupt people who otherwise carry on their daily duties with apparent reasonableness and common sense... It exploits man's urgent desire for all the material good things of life -- health, prosperity, success, "good luck" -- and at times, it may even descend to aggressive acts against one's competitors and supposed enemies and rivals. It rests upon an assumption, not always explicit, that divine power can be manipulated and used for human ends. And it is the more dangerous among people who assume that since God is love, He will do whatever they ask, provided they use the right formula in asking.   Magic mocks God's freedom no less than His purpose. For it binds men more and more in a prison of fear and selfishness. Far from liberating divine power, it shuts out the free and creative forces of love and self-sacrifice that alone ennoble life and remove the alienation of men one from another. Love, not compulsion, casts out fear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A sense of humor is part of the art of leadership, of getting along with people, of getting things done ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55116]]></link><description><![CDATA[A sense of humor is part of the art of leadership, of getting along with people, of getting things done]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[diamonds shine more brightly foiled by black velvet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/723]]></link><description><![CDATA[diamonds shine more brightly foiled by black velvet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/723</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The grape becomes tinted from the grape it comes in contact with. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50498]]></link><description><![CDATA[The grape becomes tinted from the grape it comes in contact with.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50498</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't have to wait until the next morning to regret something I did that was kinda dumb. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64484]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't have to wait until the next morning to regret something I did that was kinda dumb.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64484</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more skilful the gambler, the worse the man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51637]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more skilful the gambler, the worse the man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51637</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those first seven 3-point shots were basically the ball game.
