It thus comes about that in practice it is regularly the theoretical collectivist who extols individual reason and demands that all forces of society be made subject to the direction of a single mastermind, while it is the individualist who recognizes the limitations of the powers of individual reason and consequently advocates freedom as a means for the fullest development of the powers of the interindividual process.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47393</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To love at all is to be vulnerable.

Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23381</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fear follows crime, and is its punishment ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52541]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fear follows crime, and is its punishment]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A better present makes for a good past and future. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59329]]></link><description><![CDATA[A better present makes for a good past and future.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59329</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Accuse not nature, she hath done her part;Do thou but thine, and be not diffidentOf wisdom, she deserts thee not, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25351]]></link><description><![CDATA[Accuse not nature, she hath done her part;Do thou but thine, and be not diffidentOf wisdom, she deserts thee not, if thouDismiss not her, when most thou needest her nigh,By attributing overmuch to thingsLess excellent, as thou thyself perceivest. - Paradise Lost.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I got the job, we had some good veteran players.

The whole Bible proclaims the need for, and the achievement of, a salvation that will remake creation, and it is just such a salvation, at once supernatural and historical, that was won on Easter Day. If the Resurrection narratives are [merely] a subtle way of convincing us that God still loves us, or that there is a life beyond death, they must be reckoned among the oddest and most ill-conceived stories ever written.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6784</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think that was our best game of the year. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36150]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think that was our best game of the year.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, if only I did nothing simply as a result of laziness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24388]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, if only I did nothing simply as a result of laziness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24388</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sum of intelligence on the planet is a constant; the population is growing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22899]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sum of intelligence on the planet is a constant; the population is growing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22899</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The liar's punishment is not in the least that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26148]]></link><description><![CDATA[The liar's punishment is not in the least that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59478]]></link><description><![CDATA[Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And Doubt and Discord step 'twixt thine and thee. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12557]]></link><description><![CDATA[And Doubt and Discord step 'twixt thine and thee.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't want to achieve immortality through my work...
