That question has searched religion for contraband goods, stripped it of old superstitions, forced it to change its categories of thought and methods of work, and in general has so cowed and scared religion that many modern-minded believers... instinctively throw up their hands at the mere whisper of it... When a prominent scientist comes out strongly for religion, all the churches thank Heaven and take courage, as though it were the highest possible compliment to God to have Eddington believe in Him. Science has become the arbiter of this generation's thought, until to call even a prophet and a seer 'scientific' is to cap the climax of praise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I get more nervous for (Josh) than I did when I wrestled.

Growth in goodness does not, therefore, necessarily imply increased happiness, on the contrary, it may mean greater unhappiness. And his unhappiness increasing in proportion to the elevation of his ethical standards, a man's end is either Buddha or suicide if he knows no God; while if he knows God, it is despair or that conversion which, having sobbed away its tears on the Father's breast, thence derives ever new strength to fight the battle of life, sure of the final victory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6671</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gather the flowers, but spare the buds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16277]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gather the flowers, but spare the buds.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16277</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The crucial task of old age is balance: keeping just well enough, just brave enough, just gay and interested and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64147]]></link><description><![CDATA[The crucial task of old age is balance: keeping just well enough, just brave enough, just gay and interested and starkly honest enough to remain a sentient human being.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64147</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One swallow does not make spring. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48603]]></link><description><![CDATA[One swallow does not make spring.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48603</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The problem with any unwritten law is that you don't know where to go to erase it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24262]]></link><description><![CDATA[The problem with any unwritten law is that you don't know where to go to erase it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are apt to overlook the hand and heart of God in our afflictions, and to consider them as mere ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7613]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are apt to overlook the hand and heart of God in our afflictions, and to consider them as mere accidents, and unavoidable evils.
