For one thing, it implies that we have no spiritual ambition, else we should not be satisfied with such poor lives; that we cannot have thought out the fact of Jesus Christ, and how immeasurably He has raised the standard. Will you hang your wretched daubs beside the works of Titian and Michelangelo and not be shamed by the enormous contrast -- stand back and say, with a satisfied smirk, "That is pretty good, you know!"? And can you live face to face with Jesus Christ, and be content with what you are?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7852</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The police chief works directly for the city manager, who works for the city council, so there is a direct ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36887]]></link><description><![CDATA[The police chief works directly for the city manager, who works for the city council, so there is a direct line between city council goals for public safety and the law enforcement and safety professionals who carry out those goals,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36887</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not conclusive proof of a doctrine's correctness that its adversaries use the police, the hangman, and violent mobs ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47490]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not conclusive proof of a doctrine's correctness that its adversaries use the police, the hangman, and violent mobs to fight it.

To have ideas, apercus, is not enough, and it is the overevalutation of such clever but uncontrolled guesses which is apt to produce the ludicrous fallacy of combination, in which fragments of the final theory are collected from widely scattered sources and are combined in such a way as to impugn the originality of him who was the first to see how such a synthesis was possible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56960</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The State always moves slowly and grudgingly towards any purpose that accrues to society's advantage, but moves rapidly and with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47173]]></link><description><![CDATA[The State always moves slowly and grudgingly towards any purpose that accrues to society's advantage, but moves rapidly and with alacrity towards one that accrues to its own advantage; nor does it ever move towards social purposes on its own initiative, but only under heavy pressure, while its motion towards anti-social purposes is self-sprung.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47173</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He lives who dies to win a lasting name. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43646]]></link><description><![CDATA[He lives who dies to win a lasting name.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43646</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60202]]></link><description><![CDATA[The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Memory is the greatest of artists, and effaces from your mind what is unnecessary. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14557]]></link><description><![CDATA[Memory is the greatest of artists, and effaces from your mind what is unnecessary.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's really impossible for athletes to grow up.
