Logic is designed to give inevitably true results starting from known true -- or assumed-to-be-true -- premises. Logic is a wonderful tool when we want only logical conclusions. We should not reject such a machine merely because it is not equipped to handle all of reality. The scientist who commits himself to use a logic machine is doing wisely, qua scientist, for use on data of science. But if he feeds into that machine convictions that there is not God, or ignores God because He is not in his corpus of data, and then draws from his logic the conclusion that God does not exist, his conclusion is irrelevant. Logic is a tool; it should not be made into a religion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7173</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Look up! the wide extended plain Is billowy with its ripened grain,  And on the summer winds are rolled ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1948]]></link><description><![CDATA[Look up! the wide extended plain Is billowy with its ripened grain,  And on the summer winds are rolled   Its waves of emerald and gold.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1948</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We just stood there and watched it burn. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32165]]></link><description><![CDATA[We just stood there and watched it burn.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32165</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sweat of industry would dry and die, But for the end it works to. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51243]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sweat of industry would dry and die, But for the end it works to.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51243</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Since 1994, any herbal remedy sold as a dietary supplement -- no matter what their real purpose -- the FDA ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41456]]></link><description><![CDATA[Since 1994, any herbal remedy sold as a dietary supplement -- no matter what their real purpose -- the FDA has no authority over them,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is the child of illusion and the parent of disillusion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65315]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is the child of illusion and the parent of disillusion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65315</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Used throughout a room, orange can become surprisingly neutral, and yet it can be bright and mood-enhancing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38991]]></link><description><![CDATA[Used throughout a room, orange can become surprisingly neutral, and yet it can be bright and mood-enhancing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rock journalism is people who can't write interviewing people who can't talk for people who can't read. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23352]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rock journalism is people who can't write interviewing people who can't talk for people who can't read.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The public good is in nothing more essentially interested, than in the protection of every individual's private rights. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54283]]></link><description><![CDATA[The public good is in nothing more essentially interested, than in the protection of every individual's private rights.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Work is behind, but 65 percent is not that far behind.
