Here, in 1878, Engels apodictically announced that military weapons are "now so perfected that no further progress of any revolutionizing influence is any longer possible." Henceforth "all further [technological] progress is by and large indifferent for land warfare. The age of evolution is in this regard essentially closed." This complacent conclusion shows in what the achievement of the innovator consists: he accomplishes what other people believe to be unthinkable and unfeasible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52022</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Praise undeserved is scandal in disguise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48022]]></link><description><![CDATA[Praise undeserved is scandal in disguise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48022</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Religion, Credit, and the Eye are not to be touched. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49731]]></link><description><![CDATA[Religion, Credit, and the Eye are not to be touched.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A sly piece of good luck, which nobody knows of is delightful. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51577]]></link><description><![CDATA[A sly piece of good luck, which nobody knows of is delightful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51577</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Genuine outrage is not just a permissible reaction to the hard-pressed Christian; God himself feels it, and so should the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7014]]></link><description><![CDATA[Genuine outrage is not just a permissible reaction to the hard-pressed Christian; God himself feels it, and so should the Christian in the presence of pain, cruelty, violence, and injustice.

Every sin is a sin of the indivisible human being, and the divine reaction against it expresses itself to conscience through the indivisible frame of that world, at once natural and spiritual, in which man lives. We cannot distribute evils into the two classes of physical and moral, and subsequently investigate the relation between them: if we could, it would be of no service here. What we have to understand is that when a man sins he does something in which his whole being participates, and that the reaction of God against his sin is a reaction in which he is conscious (or might be conscious) that the whole system of things is in arms against him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7961</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oppress'd with two weak evils, age and hunger. -As You Like It.
