It is enormously stimulating. It is small wonder that people who have been demanding all their lives to be heard so often fall speechless when confronted with one who gravely agrees to lend an ear. Man clamors for the freedom to express himself and for knowing that he counts. But once offered these conditions, he becomes frigthened. -Robert C. Murphy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Too often it's not the most creative guys or the smartest.

Of what I have learnt from these documents in the course of my long task, I will say nothing now. Only this, that they bear the seal of the Son of Man and God, they are the Magna Charta of the human spirit. Were we to devote to their comprehension a little of the selfless enthusiasm that is now expended on the riddle of our physical surroundings, we would cease to say that Christianity is coming to an end -- we might even feel that it had only just begun.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6902</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I was at fault, I could see paying.

Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. - Dune, "Litany Against Fear", 1965.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have a habit in writing articles published in scientific journals to make the work as finished as possible, to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9563]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have a habit in writing articles published in scientific journals to make the work as finished as possible, to cover up all the tracks, to not worry about the blind alleys or describe how you had the wrong idea at first, and so on.
