But in fact intellectual progress usually occurs through sheer abandonment of questions together with both of the alternatives they assume - an abandonment that results from their decreasing vitality and change of urgent interest. We do not solve them: we get over them. Old questions are solved by disappearing, evaporating, while new questions corresponding to the changed attitude of endeavor and preference take their place.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is in us a tendency to locate the shaping forces of our existence outside ourselves.

Success and failure are unavoidably related in our minds with the state of things around us. Hence it is that people with a sense of fulfillment think it is a good world and would like to preserve it as it is, while the frustrated favor radical change. The tendency to look for all causes outside ourselves persists even when it is clear that our state of being is the product of personal qualities such as ability, character, appearance, health and so on.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most subjects at universities are taught for no other purpose than that they may be retaught when the students become ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58754]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most subjects at universities are taught for no other purpose than that they may be retaught when the students become teachers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fortunately for themselves and for the world, nearly all men are cowards and dare not act on what they believe. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47486]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fortunately for themselves and for the world, nearly all men are cowards and dare not act on what they believe.

Now, once again may I ask you the question, Is the Church cruel when she points this out, and demands that men should see it and take account of it in all the arrangements of this life? Surely the cruelty lies with those who talk glibly about the brotherhood of man, and superficially about peace, and romantically about marriage, as though the disturbances in Church and state and family were introduced into human life by a few evil-minded men. This is the real cruelty. How will you face up later to your married life, to your administration of affairs, to your life in the Church, in fact to any real part of your lives, if you are taught to think that your neighbour will or ought to agree with you in all points, will accept your solutions of his problems, will in fact be a reflection of your image? Once we get this stuff and nonsense into our heads, we shall never be able to live with anyone or with any group of men. We shall sulk when we are crossed, or run away from the Other -- for Other they are. We shall certainly remove ourselves from the Church when we find it full of friction and yet proclaiming the love of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6747</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You must do the thing you think you cannot do ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12727]]></link><description><![CDATA[You must do the thing you think you cannot do]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12727</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Democracy ... is a system of self-determination.
