The future is not some place we are going to, but one we are creating. The paths are not to be found, but made, and the activity of making them, changes both the maker and the destination. -John Schaar.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Law, without force, is impotent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21563]]></link><description><![CDATA[Law, without force, is impotent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old age is like flying through a storm.

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[It is easier to stay out than get out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/347]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is easier to stay out than get out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/347</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a conservative is a liberal who's been mugged, a liberal is a conservative who's been arrested ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24659]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a conservative is a liberal who's been mugged, a liberal is a conservative who's been arrested]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24659</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An optimist will tell you the glass is half-full; the pessimist, half-empty; and the engineer will tell you the glass ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45167]]></link><description><![CDATA[An optimist will tell you the glass is half-full; the pessimist, half-empty; and the engineer will tell you the glass is twice the size it needs to be]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45167</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mind can weave itself warmly in the cocoon of its own thoughts, and dwell a hermit anywhere. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63983]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mind can weave itself warmly in the cocoon of its own thoughts, and dwell a hermit anywhere.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63983</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Accuracy, Rule of, Corollary: Provided, of course, that you know there is a problem. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24344]]></link><description><![CDATA[Accuracy, Rule of, Corollary: Provided, of course, that you know there is a problem.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only when we give joyfully, without hesitation or thought of gain, can we truly know what love means. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60950]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only when we give joyfully, without hesitation or thought of gain, can we truly know what love means.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60950</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Written laws are like spiders' webs, and will, like them, only entangle and hold the poor and weak, while the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29165]]></link><description><![CDATA[Written laws are like spiders' webs, and will, like them, only entangle and hold the poor and weak, while the rich and powerful will easily break through them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29165</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a court of law, young man, not a court of justice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23620]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is a court of law, young man, not a court of justice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The standard that a society should actually embody its own professed principles is a utopian one, in the sense that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60302]]></link><description><![CDATA[The standard that a society should actually embody its own professed principles is a utopian one, in the sense that moral principles contradict the way things really are --- and always will be. 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[We owe our troops the opportunity to serve in the best-planned, best-equipped, and best-led military force in the world, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59711]]></link><description><![CDATA[We owe our troops the opportunity to serve in the best-planned, best-equipped, and best-led military force in the world, and we owe them the peace of mind that comes from knowing that they and their families will be taken care of if they sacrifice life, limb or the ability to sleep without war's nightmares.

Repeatedly, the light has shone forth in the darkness, held aloft by hands that perished in the destruction of the institution that failed. Christians tend to defend the institution of their own creation with tenacity. It is institutional Christianity that has often shackled the Church... Many of the missionary institutions of the Church are expendable. They should always be treated as expendable.  ... Leonard M. Outerbridge, The Lost Churches of China July 24, 1996 Commemoration of Thomas à Kempis, priest, spiritual writer, 1471  Men stand much upon the title of 'orthodox', by which is usually understood, not believing the doctrine of Christ or His apostles, but such opinions as are in vogue among such a party, such systems of divinity as have been compiled in haste by those whom we have in admiration; and whatever is not consonant to these little bodies of divinity, tho' possibly it agree well enough with the Word of God, is error and heresy; and whoever maintains it can hardly pass for a Christian among some angry and perverse people. I do not intend to plead for any error, but I would not have Christianity chiefly measured by matters of opinion. I know no such error and heresy as a wicked life... Of the two, I have more hopes of him that denies the divinity of Christ and lives otherwise soberly and righteously and godly in the world, than of the man who owns Christ to be the Son of God and lives like a child of the devil.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6899</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing that costs only a dollar is not worth having. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34427]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing that costs only a dollar is not worth having.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63407]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63407</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are many things in life that will catch your eye, but only a few will catch your heart...pursue those. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19007]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are many things in life that will catch your eye, but only a few will catch your heart...pursue those.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19007</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All pitchers are born pitchers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63366]]></link><description><![CDATA[All pitchers are born pitchers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63366</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The voice of the world ["Charity begins at home"]. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5696]]></link><description><![CDATA[The voice of the world ["Charity begins at home"].]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5696</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In science as in love, too much concentration on technique can often lead to impotence.
