On the contrary, the increasingly complex processes tend to lead to increasingly simple and easily understood products. The genius of mass production is precisely in its making more products more accessible, both economically and intellectually to more people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15809</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we start deceiving ourselves into thinking not that we want something or need something, not that it is a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43134]]></link><description><![CDATA[When we start deceiving ourselves into thinking not that we want something or need something, not that it is a pragmatic necessity for us to have it, but that it is a moral imperative that we have it, then is when we join the fashionable madmen, and then is when the thin whine of hysteria is heard in the land, and then is when we are in bad trouble.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43134</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yet, who can help loving the land that has taught us Six hundred and eighty-five ways to dress eggs? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16617]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yet, who can help loving the land that has taught us Six hundred and eighty-five ways to dress eggs?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16617</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on Romans 8:   [Of vv. 4-13]   You must not understand flesh here ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8273]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on Romans 8:   [Of vv. 4-13]   You must not understand flesh here as denoting only unchastity or spirit as denoting only the inner heart. Here St. Paul calls flesh (as does Christ in John 3) everything born of flesh, i.e. the whole human being with body and soul, reason and senses, since everything in him tends toward the flesh. That is why you should know enough to call that person "fleshly" who, without grace, fabricates, teaches and chatters about high spiritual matters. You can learn the same thing from Galatians, chapter 5, where St. Paul calls heresy and hatred works of the flesh. And in Romans, chapter 8, he says that, through the flesh, the law is weakened. He says this, not of unchastity, but of all sins, most of all of unbelief, which is the most spiritual of vices.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It probably occurred a while ago.

Then everybody would leave the Cricket Boy alone, and I'd invite him over to spend the night at my house, but after about five minutes of that loud chirping I'd have to kick him out. Maybe later we could get up a petition to get the Cricket Family run out of town. Bye, Cricket Boy.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Calamities are of two kinds: misfortune to ourselves, and good fortune to others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5166]]></link><description><![CDATA[Calamities are of two kinds: misfortune to ourselves, and good fortune to others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learn to get in touch with silence within yourself, and know that everything in this life has purpose.
