They, too, stress the leap of faith and make irrationality almost a principle, dismissing the serious questions of seeking modern men as intellectual smoke-screens or diversions to conceal deeper personal problems. All this masks a desperate intellectual insecurity, barely disguised by the surrounding hedge of taboos to preserve purity. The strident intolerance of much guilt-driven evangelism betrays the same insecurity. In these circles, much that is taught has to be unlearned in the wider school of life, and it is not surprising that universities are littered with dropouts from such groups. Their non-rational, subjective faith is cruelly punctured by varsity-level questions, and many manage to survive only by resorting to a severely schizophrenic faith which they hold to be true religiously but not intellectually, historically, or scientifically.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men as a whole judge more with their eyes than with their hands. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23541]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men as a whole judge more with their eyes than with their hands.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[St. Leon raised his kindling eye, And lifts the sparkling cup on high;  "I drink to one," he said, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59413]]></link><description><![CDATA[St. Leon raised his kindling eye, And lifts the sparkling cup on high;  "I drink to one," he said,   "Whose image never may depart,    Deep graven on this grateful heart,     Till memory be dead."      . . . .       St. Leon paused, as if he would        Not breathe her name in careless mood         Thus lightly to another;          Then bent his noble head, as though           To give the word the reverence due,            And gently said, "My mother!"]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59413</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatever is not nailed down is mine.
