Compared to this stupendous mobilization of materials, of wealth, of human intellect, of human labor for the single goal of domination, all other recent human achievements pale to almost trivial significance. Our art, science, medicine, literature, music and "charitable" acts seem like mere droppings from a table on which gory feasts on the spoils of conquest have engaged the attention of a system whose appetite for rule is utterly unrestrained.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By all means, slow down.

If the universe is so bad, or even half so bad, how on earth did human beings ever come to attribute it to the activity of a wise and good Creator? Men are fools, perhaps; but hardly so foolish as that. The direct inference from black to white, from evil flower to virtuous root, from senseless work to a workman infinitely wise, staggers belief. The spectacle of the universe as revealed by experience can never have been the ground of religion: it must have always been something in spite of which religion, acquired from a different source, was held.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not just a question of numbers.

But men make themselves so unworthy of it that it is only just that God should refuse to some because of the hardness of heart what He gives to others from a compassion that they do not deserve. If He had wanted to overcome the obstinacy of the most hardened, He could have done so by revealing Himself to them so obviously that they could not have doubted the truth of His Being -- just as He will appear at the last day with such a clap of thunder and such an upheaval of nature that the dead will revive and the blindest will see. It is not in this way, however, that He willed to appear at His gentle coming: because so many men had made themselves unworthy of His mercy, He willed to leave them deprived of the good which they did not desire. And so it would not have been fair for Him to have appeared in an obviously divine manner, absolutely capable of convincing all men. But also it would not have been fair for Him to appear in a manner so hidden that even those who were sincerely seeking Him should not be able to recognize Him... So He has tempered His knowledge, by giving marks of Himself which were visible to those who seek Him, and not to those who seek Him not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A bit of fragrance clings to the hand that gives flowers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62814]]></link><description><![CDATA[A bit of fragrance clings to the hand that gives flowers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The clouds,--the only birds that never sleep. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8907]]></link><description><![CDATA[The clouds,--the only birds that never sleep.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8907</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, herbaceous treat! 'Twould tempt the dying anchorite to eat;  Back to the world he'd turn his fleeting soul, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13279]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, herbaceous treat! 'Twould tempt the dying anchorite to eat;  Back to the world he'd turn his fleeting soul,   And plunge his fingers in the salad bowl;    Serenely full the epicure would say,     "Fate cannot harm me,--I have dined to-day."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's always impressive when talented comedians are easy laughers or generous with their laughs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36254]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's always impressive when talented comedians are easy laughers or generous with their laughs.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16981]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beauty is simply reality seen with the eyes of love ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3825]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beauty is simply reality seen with the eyes of love]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3825</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The "value" or "worth" of a man is, as of all other things, his price; that is to say, so ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62115]]></link><description><![CDATA[The "value" or "worth" of a man is, as of all other things, his price; that is to say, so much as would be given for the use of his power.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Self-reliance is the only road to true freedom, and being one's own person is its ultimate reward. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2252]]></link><description><![CDATA[Self-reliance is the only road to true freedom, and being one's own person is its ultimate reward.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2252</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A fellow of no mark nor likelihood. -King Henry IV.
