Innovation is a twofold threat to academic mediocrities: it endangers their oracular authority, and it evokes the deeper fear that their whole, laboriously constructed intellectual edifice might collapse. The academic backwoodsmen have been the curse of genius from Aristarchus to Darwin and Freud; they stretch, a solid and hostile phalanx of pedantic mediocrities, across the centuries.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be nobody but yourself in a world that's doing its best to make you somebody else, is to fight ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12724]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be nobody but yourself in a world that's doing its best to make you somebody else, is to fight the hardest battle you are ever going to fight.

Our environment itself -- our home and our job -- is the medium through which we experience His moulding action and His besetting love. It is not Christian to try to get out of our frame, or to separate our outward life from our life of prayer, since both are the creation of one Charity. The third-rate little town in the hills, with its limited social contacts and monotonous manual work, reproves us when we begin to fuss about our opportunities and our score. And this quality of quietness, ordinariness, simplicity, with which the saving action of God enters history, endures from the beginning to the end.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Youth Volunteer Corps has helped us for about five years and we really depend on them to tackle big, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41988]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Youth Volunteer Corps has helped us for about five years and we really depend on them to tackle big, physical projects.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41988</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Can anyone picture God telling, taking, or enjoying a good joke?

The idea is laughable. The Devil, on the other hand, laughs with demonic mirth, is possessed of a sardonic wit, and his eyes hold a glint of wicked bemusement. The farthest God, in his popular image, ever strays from sobriety is a beneficent smile. Satan sniggers with fiendish scorn at God, who sits in his ivory tower emitting nary a chuckle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For today and its blessings, I owe the world an attitude of gratitude. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4304]]></link><description><![CDATA[For today and its blessings, I owe the world an attitude of gratitude.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4304</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love Los Angeles.
