Rather does he create Him in the image of his cravings and dreams- in the image of what man wants to be. God making could be part of the process by which a society realizes its aspirations: it first embodies them in the conception of a particular God, and then proceeds to imitate that God. The confidence requisite for attempting the unprecedented is most effectively generated by the fiction that in realizing the new we are imitating rather than originating. Our preoccupation with heaven can be part of an effort to find precedents for the unprecedented.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52332</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Merciful heaven, Thou rather with thy sharp and sulphurous bolt  Splits the unwedgeable and gnarled oak   Than ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3495]]></link><description><![CDATA[Merciful heaven, Thou rather with thy sharp and sulphurous bolt  Splits the unwedgeable and gnarled oak   Than the soft myrtle; but man, proud man,    Dressed in a little brief authority,     Most ignorant of what he's most assured      His glassy essence--like an angry ape       Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven        As makes the angels weep; who, with our spleens,         would all themselves laugh mortal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3495</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23892]]></link><description><![CDATA[Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, or a new country.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23892</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Instead of a national curriculum for education, what is really needed is an individual curriculum for every child. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13379]]></link><description><![CDATA[Instead of a national curriculum for education, what is really needed is an individual curriculum for every child.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13379</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My family would be supportive if I said I wanted to be a Martian, wear only banana skins, make love ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31155]]></link><description><![CDATA[My family would be supportive if I said I wanted to be a Martian, wear only banana skins, make love to ashtrays, and eat tree bark.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31155</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13841]]></link><description><![CDATA[They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13841</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One's real life is so often the life that one does not lead. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15309]]></link><description><![CDATA[One's real life is so often the life that one does not lead.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of him that speakes ill, consider the life more then the word. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49675]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of him that speakes ill, consider the life more then the word.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Governments will always misuse the machinery of the law as far as the state of public opinion permits. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47411]]></link><description><![CDATA[Governments will always misuse the machinery of the law as far as the state of public opinion permits.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If't be summer news, Smile to't before; if winterly, thou need'st  But keep that count'nance still. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44468]]></link><description><![CDATA[If't be summer news, Smile to't before; if winterly, thou need'st  But keep that count'nance still.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man who has nothing can whistle in a robber's face ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59069]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man who has nothing can whistle in a robber's face]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbors as ourselves: we do unto others as we do unto ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52321]]></link><description><![CDATA[The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbors as ourselves: we do unto others as we do unto ourselves.

There had been days when he had been too hectoring or domineering -- so, at least, these impossible people had said, though he himself denied it still. At all events, protesting to Rome, they had won the Emperor's ear, and humbled their governor. And that must not happen again. Ah, me! Is not this life of ours a fearsome thing? Take care! take care! for if you sin that sin, be sure that somehow you will pay for it -- and, it may be, at how hideous a price! So Pilate found in his day; so you, too, will find it in ours... Only God knows what may come out of that, if you should give way to it. Pilate was curt and domineering to the Jews one day. And it was because of that, months later, his unwilling hands set up the cross of Christ: unwilling -- but they did it. Take you care! for sin is very merciless. If you have had the sweet, [sin] will see to it that you quaff the bitter to the very dregs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7616</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trust not one nights ice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50023]]></link><description><![CDATA[Trust not one nights ice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50023</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think we laugh a little too much before games when we are warming up.
