Here lies the ground of the great efficacy of prayer, which when it is the prayer of the heart, the prayer of faith, has a kindling and creating power, and forms and transforms the soul into everything that the desire reaches after: it has the key to the Kingdom of Heaven and unlocks all its treasures; it opens, extends and moves that in us which has its being and motion in and with the divine nature. and so it brings us into real union and Communion with God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7355</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Statistics are no substitute for judgment ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57862]]></link><description><![CDATA[Statistics are no substitute for judgment]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the long run, crowding out tends to mitigate the effects of fiscal policy. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38032]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the long run, crowding out tends to mitigate the effects of fiscal policy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38032</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You don't get paid for the hour.

For if philosophers become kings or scientists commissars, they become politicians, and the powers given to the state are powers given to men who are rulers of states, men subject to all the limitations and temptations of their dangerous craft. Unless this is borne in mind, there will be a dangerous optimistic tendency to sweep aside doubts and fears as irrelevant, since, in the state that the projectors have in mind, power will be exercised by men of a wisdom and degree of moral virtue that we have not yet seen. It won't.
