And one of the games to which it is most attached is called, ''Keep tomorrow dark,'' and which is also named (by the rustics in Shropshire, I have no doubt) ''Cheat the Prophet.'' The players listen very carefully and respectfully to all that the clever men have to say about what is to happen in the next generation. The players then wait until all the clever men are dead, and bury them nicely. Then they go and do something else. That is all. For a race of simple tastes, however, it is great fun.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death penalties can be imposed by unelected judges and by unelected Pentagon generals.

Dr. [Thomas] Chalmers tells us that he was brought up -- such was the effect of the current orthodoxy upon him -- in a certain distrust of good works. Some were certainly wanted, but not as being themselves salvation, only, as he puts it, as tokens of justification. It was a distinct stage in his religious progress when he realised that true justification sanctifies, and that the soul can and ought to abandon itself spontaneously and joyfully to do the good that it delights in... An atonement that does not regenerate... is not an atonement in which men can be asked to believe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I look at it when you do that as a form of eminent domain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34018]]></link><description><![CDATA[I look at it when you do that as a form of eminent domain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34018</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[View the whole scene, with critic judgment scan, And then deny him merit if you can.  Where he falls ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27381]]></link><description><![CDATA[View the whole scene, with critic judgment scan, And then deny him merit if you can.  Where he falls short, 'tis Nature's fault alone   Where he succeeds, the merit's all his own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27381</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have wished it so, you have wished it so, George Dandin, you have wished it so. [Fr., Vous l'avez ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61786]]></link><description><![CDATA[You have wished it so, you have wished it so, George Dandin, you have wished it so. [Fr., Vous l'avez voulu, vous l'avez voulu, George Dandin, vous l'avez voulu.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61786</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The foundation of all morality is to have done, once and for all, with lying; to give up pretending to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53671]]></link><description><![CDATA[The foundation of all morality is to have done, once and for all, with lying; to give up pretending to believe that for which there is no evidence, and repeating unintelligible propositions about things beyond the possibilities of knowledge.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53671</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At Earth's great market where Joy is trafficked in, Buy while thy purse yet swells with golden Youth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23435]]></link><description><![CDATA[At Earth's great market where Joy is trafficked in, Buy while thy purse yet swells with golden Youth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They made us many promises, more than I can remember, but they kept only one; they promised to take our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43740]]></link><description><![CDATA[They made us many promises, more than I can remember, but they kept only one; they promised to take our land, and they did.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God is a verb. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22294]]></link><description><![CDATA[God is a verb.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22294</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ay, now am I in Arden: the more fool I.
