We seem here to have a paradox: that the reality of an event, which is not real in itself, arises from the other events which, likewise, in themselves are not real. But this only affirms what we must affirm: that direction is all. And only as we realize this do we live, for our own identity is dependent upon this principal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Find enough clever things to say, and you're a Prime Minister; write them down and you're a Shakespeare. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8874]]></link><description><![CDATA[Find enough clever things to say, and you're a Prime Minister; write them down and you're a Shakespeare.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cheerfulness removes the rust from the mind, lubricates our inward machinery, and enables us to do our work with fewer ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5856]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cheerfulness removes the rust from the mind, lubricates our inward machinery, and enables us to do our work with fewer creaks and ;groans.

(2) There is the danger of one-sidedness by accommodation to the particular tendencies of a particular age. (3) There is the danger of an arrested development, because ecclesiastical authority acting hastily or unguardedly solidifies the one-sidedness or undue accommodation of a particular moment of the Church into a premature and unjustifiable dogma. There is, I venture to think, for all these dangers one remedy, and one remedy only, and that the most old-fashioned; and yet it is with this that is bound up all that is most true, all that is most free, all that is most spiritual in the Church. The remedy to which I refer is the continual recurrence to the original pattern, the continual appeal to antiquity and Scripture. Such an appeal limits the dogmatic authority and in a sense the whole authority of the Church. But it is by the maintenance of this appeal, and only so, that you can safeguard what is, after all, the most important thing, that is, the real power of the Church to be true to its own best spirit, to reassert the original teaching in all its freedom and largeness of application, without being trammelled and contracted by the errors and narrownesses of particular periods.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7911</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Might was the measure of right. [Lat., Mensuraque juris  Vis erat.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54250]]></link><description><![CDATA[Might was the measure of right. [Lat., Mensuraque juris  Vis erat.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54250</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Evaluate what you want -- because what gets measured, gets produced. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22783]]></link><description><![CDATA[Evaluate what you want -- because what gets measured, gets produced.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The product, abortion, is skillfully marketed and sold to the woman at the crisis time in her life.
