Its story of our origins and of our end is, to say the least, unsatisfactory. To the question, "How did it all begin?", science answers, "Probably by an accident." To the question, "How will it all end?", science answers, "Probably by an accident." And to many people, the accidental life is not worth living. Moreover, the science-god has no answer to the question, "Why are we here?" and, to the question, "What moral instructions do you give us?", the science-god maintains silence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In general, mankind, since the improvement of cookery, eats twice as much as nature requires. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17592]]></link><description><![CDATA[In general, mankind, since the improvement of cookery, eats twice as much as nature requires.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His nose was as sharp as a pen, and a' babbled of green fields. -King Henry V.

Within the wide bounds of the Christian Church there is abundant scope for the multiplicity of races, languages, and social conditions; room also for separate organizations with different traditions of faith and order, and much diversity of operation. But there is no room for strife or hostility, for pride or selfassertion, for exclusiveness or unkind judgments, nor for that kind of independence which leads men to ignore their fellowship with the great company of believers, the communion of saints. These things are contrary to the revealed will of God, and should be made at once to cease. As these disappear, the outward manifestation of unity will come in such ways as the Spirit of God shall guide.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19241]]></link><description><![CDATA[A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Temperate temperance is best; intemperate temperance injures the cause of temperance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42889]]></link><description><![CDATA[Temperate temperance is best; intemperate temperance injures the cause of temperance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think we're saying Big Tobacco is going to be held to account for their products, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35509]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think we're saying Big Tobacco is going to be held to account for their products,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The night is bright, with a starlit sky, I sit and think, as time passes by.

The old man told him that he worshipped the fire only, and acknowledged no other God. At which answer Abraham grew so zealously angry, that he threw the old man out of his tent, and exposed him to all the evils of the night and an unguarded condition. When the old man was gone, God called to Abraham, and asked him where the stranger was. He replied, "I thrust him away, because he did not worship thee." God answered him, "I have suffered him these hundred years, though he dishonoured me; and wouldst thou not endure him one night?".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7290</guid></item></channel></rss>
