This is part of the responsibility we accord our licensed jesters, that nothing be excused the searching light of comedy. If anything can survive the probe of humour it is clearly of value, and conversely all groups who claim immunity from laughter are claiming special privileges which should not be granted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47407</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's very difficult to fail at pornography ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47736]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's very difficult to fail at pornography]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47736</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One goes to the right, the other to the left; both are wrong, but in different directions. [Lat., Ille sinistrorsum ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14160]]></link><description><![CDATA[One goes to the right, the other to the left; both are wrong, but in different directions. [Lat., Ille sinistrorsum hic dexrorsum abit, unus utrique  Error, sed variis illudit partibus.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14160</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Writing a book is an adventure.

Pray!, you say scornfully, pray! I knew it would all fizzle out, and come to nothing. I could pray! Yes, you could pray, and, whatever you may think about it -- using it as a poor makeshift of a thing much lower than a second-best, not really a best at all, on which men fall back only when they can do nothing effectively, and are too fidgety to be able to do nothing at all -- Christ holds that prayer is a tremendous power which achieves what, without it, was a sheer impossibility. And this amazing thing you can set into operation. And the fact that you are not so using it, and simply don't believe in it and its efficiency and efficacy as our fathers did, and that so many nowadays agree with you, is certainly a major reason why the churches are so cold, and the promises seem so tardy of fulfillment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He needs prayers.
