This is the idea which has kept me virtually unknown for the past 16 years. I have watched my crowds dwindle. I am going nowhere, and nowhere quick, but, those of you who have children, I am sorry to tell you this, but they are not special. Wait! I know some of you are going "what, what?" Let me just clarify: I know YOU think they're special ... ha ha ha! I'm aware of that. I'm just here to tell you, that they're NOT! Ha ha ha ha! Sorry. Did you know that every time a guy comes he comes two-hundred million sperm? One out of TWO-HUNDRED MILLION – that load, we're only talking about one load – connected: gee, what are the fucking odds? Do you know what that means? I've wiped nations off've my chest with a grey gymsock. ENTIRE CIVILISATIONS HAVE FLAKED AND CRUSTED IN THE HAIR AROUND MY NAVEL! [...] I've tossed universes in my underpants while napping. Boom! A Milkyway shoots into my jockeyshorts: "Unngh ... what's for fucking breakfast?!"]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20134</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those holidays add to the magnitude of the after-Christmas shopping day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32669]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those holidays add to the magnitude of the after-Christmas shopping day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32669</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[(Orion) A hunter of shadows, himself a shade. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55294]]></link><description><![CDATA[(Orion) A hunter of shadows, himself a shade.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55294</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Seek peace, and pursue it.

The complete professionalization of a priestly ministry largely eliminated laymen from direct evangelism and robbed them of the missionary spirit, since they were not to be trusted to teach and could not validly administer the saving symbols. The reliance on organization and ceremonial grace, along with the growing concept of the representative relation of the Pope on earth to the Christ in heaven, involved a practical ignoring of the Holy Spirit as the divinely ordained Counterpart of the Christ and the informing soul of the Church... The vast territorial extent of Christianity and the very general ignorance of world geography made it possible for Christians to lose sight of the non-Christian world and to feel, even if somewhat vaguely, that the Christian task was complete, so far as its world occupation was concerned. The Mohammedan growth had encircled the Christian territories. The relations between Christendom and the Mohammedan world fostered anything else than a spirit of helpfulness and a disposition to give the blessings of the one to the other. Christian information about the heathen world was largely cut off by... Mohammedanism; and in order to reach the heathen, missionaries would have to make their way through Mohammedan territory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6790</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These earthly godfathers of heaven's light, That give a name to every fixed star,  Have no more profit of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3403]]></link><description><![CDATA[These earthly godfathers of heaven's light, That give a name to every fixed star,  Have no more profit of their shining nights   Than those that walk and wot not what they are.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I used to believe that anything was better than nothing.
