The sensitive visitor to the mesas of Los Alamos is almost sure to meditate on the experience of that gifted man, Klaus Fuchs. Though his work in the laboratories was outstanding, his decision concerning the use of what he knew was disastrous. What if, in addition to his scientific competence, the younger Fuchs had shared something of the Christian conviction of his father, Emil Fuchs? Much of the subsequent history of our earth might then have been different.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To get something done a committee should consist of three men, two of whom are absent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9006]]></link><description><![CDATA[To get something done a committee should consist of three men, two of whom are absent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9006</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A young lady is a female child who has just done something dreadful. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23966]]></link><description><![CDATA[A young lady is a female child who has just done something dreadful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23966</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man is born an Artist nor an Angler. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16085]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man is born an Artist nor an Angler.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16085</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By-and-by has no end. [Lat., Modo, et modo, non habebent modum.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59297]]></link><description><![CDATA[By-and-by has no end. [Lat., Modo, et modo, non habebent modum.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59297</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tax collector must love poor people--he's creating so many of them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58671]]></link><description><![CDATA[The tax collector must love poor people--he's creating so many of them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58671</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul.

It is... not merely a sacred book but a book so remorselessly and continuously sacred that it does not invite -- it excludes or repels -- the merely aesthetic approach. You can read it as literature only by a tour de force... It demands incessantly to be taken on its own terms: it will not continue to give literary delight very long, except to those who go to it for something quite different.

How things really are --- and always will be --- is neither all-evil nor all-good but deficient, inconsistent, inferior. Principles invite us to do something about the morass of contradictions in which we function morally. Principles invite us to clean up our act; to become intolerant of moral laxity and compromise and cowardice and the turning away from what is upsetting: that secret gnawing of the heart that tells us that what we are doing is not right, and so counsels us that we'd be better off just not thinking about it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For a politician to complain about the press is like a ship's captain complaining about the sea ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26653]]></link><description><![CDATA[For a politician to complain about the press is like a ship's captain complaining about the sea]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26653</guid></item></channel></rss>
