To imagine, then, at the end of this life we shall cease to exist as conscious beings, that our characters, our personalities, will fall back into some boundless being, instead of becoming more and more definite, more and more individual, is certainly not to exalt God; for it is founded on the belief, either that God is now belittled by our present individuality, or that our present individuality is a mere delusion. In the latter case God, whom we find in the depths of our souls, is doubtless also a delusion, for if the self is not real it is no respectable witness on whose testimony we can accept God. Our deepest mature conviction is that finite and infinity interpenetrate, as time and eternity interpenetrate, and our problems must be solved in the light of that conviction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The individual is not a killer, but the group is, and by identifying with it the individual is transformed into ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56786]]></link><description><![CDATA[The individual is not a killer, but the group is, and by identifying with it the individual is transformed into a killer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56786</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first thing a man will do for his ideals is lie. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52159]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first thing a man will do for his ideals is lie.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Between truth and the search for it, I choose the second. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2004]]></link><description><![CDATA[Between truth and the search for it, I choose the second.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2004</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The greatest vicissitude of things amongst men, is the vicissitude of sects and religions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53457]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest vicissitude of things amongst men, is the vicissitude of sects and religions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53457</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What the public does is not to express its opinions but to align itself for or against a proposal.

If that theory is accepted, we must abandon the notion that democratic government can be the direct expression of the will of the people. We must abandon the notion that the people govern. Instead we must adopt the theory that, by their occasional mobilizations as a majority, people support or oppose the individuals who actually govern. We must say that the popular will does not direct continuously but that it intervenes occasionally.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is curiosity, quite right-a divine curiosity.

It is the grateful, faithful, fruitful use of what we have, little or much. It is to take the cup of Providence, and call upon the name of the Lord. What the cup contains is its contents. To get all that is in the cup is the act and art of contentment. Not to drink because one has but half a cup, or because one does not like its flavor, or because somebody else has silver to one's own glass, is to lose the contents; and that is the penalty, if not the meaning, of discontent. No one is discontented who employs and enjoys to the utmost what he has. It is high philosophy to say, we can have just what we like if we like what we have; but this much at least can be done, and this is contentment: to have the most and best in life by making the most and best of what we have.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Progress is The law of life, man is not  Man as yet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48357]]></link><description><![CDATA[Progress is The law of life, man is not  Man as yet.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A plain woman is one who, however beautiful, neglects to charm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5772]]></link><description><![CDATA[A plain woman is one who, however beautiful, neglects to charm.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5772</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's an opportunity for citizens who care about issues to communicate with lawmakers about what's happening in their communities.

He allowed himself (God allowed him) to be accounted sin by the Law. He refused to do what orthodox Jews of his day thought God had commanded them to do, (i.e.) seek to gain credit with God by keeping the Law. He lived by faith, not Law, and therefore repudiated the Law and the path of self-justification.... He stripped himself even of that claim to moral goodness which would have distinguished him from sinners. Short of becoming a sinner (and Paul shows that this idea is repudiated), how could God come closer to us sinners?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7211</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rather since every man is the son of his own works. [Sp., Quanto mas que cada uno es hijo ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62086]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rather since every man is the son of his own works. [Sp., Quanto mas que cada uno es hijo de sus obras.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62086</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At worst, a house unkept cannot be so distressing as a life unlived. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19918]]></link><description><![CDATA[At worst, a house unkept cannot be so distressing as a life unlived.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19918</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I would rather wake up in the middle of nowhere than in any city on earth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61575]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would rather wake up in the middle of nowhere than in any city on earth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole earth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60121]]></link><description><![CDATA[So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole earth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60121</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Striving for success without hard work is like trying to harvest where you haven't planted ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58112]]></link><description><![CDATA[Striving for success without hard work is like trying to harvest where you haven't planted]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58112</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sudden disappointment of a hope leaves a scar which the ultimate fulfillment of that hope never entirely removes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12362]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sudden disappointment of a hope leaves a scar which the ultimate fulfillment of that hope never entirely removes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12362</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cases like this hopefully will clarify what copyright is all about. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28964]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cases like this hopefully will clarify what copyright is all about.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who takes the profit ought also to take the labour. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50553]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who takes the profit ought also to take the labour.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50553</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There was a time early on in the days of Danni's Hard Drive that we were within the top 10 ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32617]]></link><description><![CDATA[There was a time early on in the days of Danni's Hard Drive that we were within the top 10 Web sites in the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32617</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am undone!
