Though his work in the laboratories was outstanding, his decision concerning the use of what he knew was disastrous. What if, in addition to his scientific competence, the younger Fuchs had shared something of the Christian conviction of his father, Emil Fuchs? Much of the subsequent history of our earth might then have been different.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why, all delights are vain, but that most vain Which, with pain purchased, doth inherit pain:  As, painfully to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11842]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why, all delights are vain, but that most vain Which, with pain purchased, doth inherit pain:  As, painfully to pore upon a book,   To seek the light of truth, which truth the while    Doth falsely blind the eyesight of his look.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11842</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History is indeed little more than the register of the crimes, follies and misfortunes of mankind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19396]]></link><description><![CDATA[History is indeed little more than the register of the crimes, follies and misfortunes of mankind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19396</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oppression can only survive through silence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45147]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oppression can only survive through silence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45147</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even critics of the economy say we are resilient.
