They, too, stress the leap of faith and make irrationality almost a principle, dismissing the serious questions of seeking modern men as intellectual smoke-screens or diversions to conceal deeper personal problems. All this masks a desperate intellectual insecurity, barely disguised by the surrounding hedge of taboos to preserve purity. The strident intolerance of much guilt-driven evangelism betrays the same insecurity. In these circles, much that is taught has to be unlearned in the wider school of life, and it is not surprising that universities are littered with dropouts from such groups. Their non-rational, subjective faith is cruelly punctured by varsity-level questions, and many manage to survive only by resorting to a severely schizophrenic faith which they hold to be true religiously but not intellectually, historically, or scientifically.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am glad that my Adonis hath a sweete tooth in his head. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13223]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am glad that my Adonis hath a sweete tooth in his head.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13223</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10049]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10049</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the privilege of posterity to set matters right between those antagonists who, by their rivalry for greatness, divided ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39147]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the privilege of posterity to set matters right between those antagonists who, by their rivalry for greatness, divided a whole age.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39147</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We will by conscious command evolve cerebral centers which will permitus to use powers that we now are not even ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22236]]></link><description><![CDATA[We will by conscious command evolve cerebral centers which will permitus to use powers that we now are not even capable of imagining.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22236</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The crooked end obedient spirits draws, The pointed, those rebels who spurn at Christian laws.  [Lat., Curva trahit mites, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53461]]></link><description><![CDATA[The crooked end obedient spirits draws, The pointed, those rebels who spurn at Christian laws.  [Lat., Curva trahit mites, pars pungit acuta rebelles.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My husband was very enthusiastic, and my children are all investing.

If anyone with carefree assurance breaks into this place, he will not succeed in satisfying his curiosity and he will enter a labyrinth from which he can find no exit. For it is not right for man unrestrainedly to search out things that the Lord has willed to be hidden in Himself; nor is it right for him to investigate from eternity that sublime wisdom, which God would have us revere but not understand, in order that through this also He should fill us with wonder. He has set forth by His Word the secrets of His will that He has decided to reveal to us. These He decided to reveal in so far as He foresaw that they would concern and benefit us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7627</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We do it soon enough, if that we do be well. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50045]]></link><description><![CDATA[We do it soon enough, if that we do be well.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Repartee is perfect when it effects its purpose with a double edge.
