and pious bigwigs to discuss what dreadful things will happen if wild skepticism runs its course. It has run its course. It is vain for eloquent atheists to talk of the great truths that will be revealed if once we see free thought begin. We have seen it end. It has no more questions to ask; it has questioned itself. You cannot call up any wilder vision than a city in which men ask themselves if they have any selves. You cannot fancy a more skeptical world than that in which men doubt whether there is a world. It might certainly have reached its bankruptcy more quickly and cleanly if it had not been feebly hampered by the application of indefensible laws of blasphemy or by the absurd pretense that modern England is Christian. But it would have reached the bankruptcy anyhow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A mistake is simply another way of doing things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1279]]></link><description><![CDATA[A mistake is simply another way of doing things.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[None can love freedom but good men;
