To imagine, then, at the end of this life we shall cease to exist as conscious beings, that our characters, our personalities, will fall back into some boundless being, instead of becoming more and more definite, more and more individual, is certainly not to exalt God; for it is founded on the belief, either that God is now belittled by our present individuality, or that our present individuality is a mere delusion. In the latter case God, whom we find in the depths of our souls, is doubtless also a delusion, for if the self is not real it is no respectable witness on whose testimony we can accept God. Our deepest mature conviction is that finite and infinity interpenetrate, as time and eternity interpenetrate, and our problems must be solved in the light of that conviction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Freedom of expression - in particular, freedom of the press - guarantees popular participation in the decisions and actions of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32131]]></link><description><![CDATA[Freedom of expression - in particular, freedom of the press - guarantees popular participation in the decisions and actions of government, and popular participation is the essence of our democracy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When something is as remarkable as 'The Sopranos,' our audience would like to see it continue as long as possible, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31563]]></link><description><![CDATA[When something is as remarkable as 'The Sopranos,' our audience would like to see it continue as long as possible, so we are thrilled that David Chase felt there are more stories to be told,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Maybe our favorite quotations say more about us than about the stories and people we're quoting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66003]]></link><description><![CDATA[Maybe our favorite quotations say more about us than about the stories and people we're quoting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is maintained that a society is free only when dissenting minorities have room to throw their weight around.

Every act of goodwill permanently and sensibly increases goodwill. Trifling acts of goodwill are often more efficacious in this way than great ones. A flower given in kindness and at the right time profits more, both to giver and receiver, than some vast material benefit in which the goodwill is hidden by the magnitude of the act. Some little, sensible, individual touch from the hand of our Lord may convert the heart more than the contemplation of His death for us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7855</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Done to death by slanderous tongues. -Much Ado about Nothing.
