In much the same way, specks of knowledge are scattered through a vast emptiness of ignorance, and everything depends upon how solid the individual specks of knowledge are, and on how powerfully linked and coordinated they are with one another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52163</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It showed the national spotlight that Detroit has the wherewithal to pull off a major national event.

Never mind if it all seems for the time very second-hand. The less you get out of it, the nearer it approaches to being something worth offering; and the humiliation of not being able to feel as devout as we want to be, is excellent for most of us. Use vocal prayer... very slowly, trying to realize the meaning with which it is charged and remember that... you are only a unit in the Chorus of the Church, so that the others will make good the shortcomings you cannot help.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7719</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A doctrine insulates the devout not only against the realities around them but also against their own selves.
