Thinking and acting are not contrary to nature; they are, rather, the foremost features of man's nature. The most appropriate description of man as differentiated from nonhuman beings is: a being purposively struggling against the forces adverse to his life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's been tremendous.

It just says something is bad. Hippies weren't really offering any alternatives other than colorful short-term ones, and some of these were looking more and more like pure degeneracy.

If his atlas tells him the world is flat he will not sail near what he believes to be the edge of our planet for fear of falling off. If his maps include a fountain of eternal youth, a Ponce de Leon will go off in quest of it. If someone digs up yellow dirt that looks like gold, he will for a time act exactly as if he has found gold. The way in which the world is imagined determines at any particular moment what men will do. It does not determine what they will achieve. It determines their effort, their feelings, their hopes, not their accomplishments and results.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My mind withdrew its thoughts from experience, extracting itself from the contradictory throng of sensuous images, that it might find ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1280]]></link><description><![CDATA[My mind withdrew its thoughts from experience, extracting itself from the contradictory throng of sensuous images, that it might find out what that light was wherein it was bathed....

When, unarmed and defenseless, He said to the Roman power, "My Kingdom is not of this world," He spoke the word of inauguration. Over the kingdom of the elemental forces, over the kingdom of the animal, over the kingdom of the intellect, He beheld rising, with Himself as prophet and embodiment, that kingdom of the spiritual whose forces should be those of purity and sacrifice, love and trust, obedience and service. It is the last of the kingdoms because it is the highest; it will be the most enduring for there is nothing that can take its place.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Martin, Monk, Bishop of Tours, 397   No one can deny that the New Testament has variety ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7986]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Martin, Monk, Bishop of Tours, 397   No one can deny that the New Testament has variety as well as unity. It is the variety which gives interest to the unity. What is it in which these people, differing as widely as they do, are vitally and fundamentally at one, so that through all their differences they form a brotherhood and are conscious of an indissolubale spiritual bond? There can be no doubt that that which unites them is a common relation to Christ -- a common faith in Him, involving religious convictions about Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7986</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Negotiations are still going on.
