He is your ally. He is our ally, be he at the other end of the world. Love all living things whose humble task is not opposed in any way to yours, to ours: men with simple hearts, honest, without vanity and malice, and all the animals, because they are beautiful, without exception and without exception indifferent to whatever "idea" there may be. Love them, and you will see the eternal in the glance of their eyes of jet, amber, or emerald. Love also the trees, the plants, the water that runs though the meadow and on to the sea without knowing where it goes; love the mountain, the desert, the forest, the immense sky, full of light or full of clouds; because all these exceed man and reveal the eternal to you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Because we do not understand the brain very well we are constantly tempted to use the latest technology as a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52106]]></link><description><![CDATA[Because we do not understand the brain very well we are constantly tempted to use the latest technology as a model for trying to understand it. In my childhood we were always assured that the brain was a telephone switchboard. ('What else could it be?') I was amused to see that Sherrington, the great British neuroscientist, thought that the brain worked like a telegraph system. Freud often compared the brain to hydraulic and electro-magnetic systems. Leibniz compared it to a mill, and I am told some of the ancient Greeks thought the brain functions like a catapult. At present, obviously, the metaphor is the digital computer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Compound for sins they are inclined to, By damning those they have no mind to. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48710]]></link><description><![CDATA[Compound for sins they are inclined to, By damning those they have no mind to.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But given the initiatives we've committed ourselves to, it's going to be very difficult, even if we get more money ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38475]]></link><description><![CDATA[But given the initiatives we've committed ourselves to, it's going to be very difficult, even if we get more money than the county initially earmarked.

The prophets were men called by God to serve as His messengers to a stubborn and unheeding people. They were always careful to point out that they were not voicing their own wisdom. Their warnings, entreaties, and promises were always prefaced by the awesome proclamation: "Thus says the Lord..." When the prophets did engage in prognostication, they usually were concerned with events which were fairly close at hand, such as the Assyrian conquest of Israel and the Babylonian conquest of Judah (both of which they foretold with deadly accuracy). But occasionally a prophet's vision ranged farther into the future, to the day when God would enter into a new covenant with his rebellious children. The hope of reconciliation was often linked with the coming of a very particular person, a Messiah or Savior.  What made the prophets so sure that they had a right--nay, a duty, to speak in the name of God? It is clear from their writings that they were not megalomaniacs who confused their own thoughts with the voice of God. On the contrary, they were humble men, awe-stricken by the responsibilities thrust upon them... The prophets minced no words in their indictments of the sins of Israel and Judah, and they trod especially hard on the toes of the rich, the powerful, and the pious. The Establishment responded then as some church members are wont to respond now when a preacher speaks out on controversial public issues: "One should not preach of such things!" (Micah 2:6).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are two ways of meeting difficulties: you alter the difficulties or you alter yourself meeting them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44149]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are two ways of meeting difficulties: you alter the difficulties or you alter yourself meeting them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is difficult to fly without wings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50876]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is difficult to fly without wings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50876</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music with dinner is an insult both to the cook and the violinist. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43455]]></link><description><![CDATA[Music with dinner is an insult both to the cook and the violinist.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So, fall asleep love, loved by me....for I know love, I am loved by thee. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54383]]></link><description><![CDATA[So, fall asleep love, loved by me....for I know love, I am loved by thee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54383</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This shows you that people actually can see that he's not just a number --that he was a man with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39479]]></link><description><![CDATA[This shows you that people actually can see that he's not just a number --that he was a man with a family that needs comforting.
