Logic is designed to give inevitably true results starting from known true -- or assumed-to-be-true -- premises. Logic is a wonderful tool when we want only logical conclusions. We should not reject such a machine merely because it is not equipped to handle all of reality. The scientist who commits himself to use a logic machine is doing wisely, qua scientist, for use on data of science. But if he feeds into that machine convictions that there is not God, or ignores God because He is not in his corpus of data, and then draws from his logic the conclusion that God does not exist, his conclusion is irrelevant. Logic is a tool; it should not be made into a religion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7173</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19941]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19941</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just me and Cindy in the room - yelling, ...

It was slow in operation, being little aided by invention or imagination, but sure in conclusion.... Perhaps the strongest feature in his character was prudence, never acting until every circumstance, every consideration, was maturely weighed; refraining if he saw doubt, but, when once decided, going through his purpose, whatever obstacles opposed. His integrity was the most pure, his justice the most inflexible I have ever known.... He was, indeed, in every sense of the words, a wise, a good and a great man ... On the whole, his character was, in its mass, perfect ... it may truly be said, that never did nature and fortune combine more perfectly to make a man great....]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fear not the anger of the wise to raise; Those best can fear reproof who merit praise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2550]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fear not the anger of the wise to raise; Those best can fear reproof who merit praise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2550</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[America now stands as the world's foremost power.
