They want desperately to perceive a vast gulf between man and the rest of creation. This mythology of human superiority justifies their doing whatever they please with the world, just the way Hitler’s mythology of Aryan superiority justified his doing whatever he pleased with Europe. But in the end this mythology is not deeply satisfying. The Takers are a profoundly lonely people. The world for them is enemy territory, and they live in it like an army of occupation, alienated and isolated by their extraordinary specialness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Shepherd's Boy and the WolfA sheperd boy, who watched a flock of sheep near a village, brought out the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1578]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Shepherd's Boy and the WolfA sheperd boy, who watched a flock of sheep near a village, brought out the villagers three or four times by crying out, Wolf! Wolf! and when his neighbors came to help him, laughed at them for their pains. The Wolf, however, did truly come at last. The Shepherd-boy, now really alarmed, shouted in an agony of terror: Pray, do come and help me; the Wolf is killing the sheep; but no one paid any heed to his cries, nor rendered any assistance. The Wolf, having no cause of fear, at his leisure lacerated or destroyed the whole flock. There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Night was our friend, our leader was Despair. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12008]]></link><description><![CDATA[Night was our friend, our leader was Despair.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12008</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is best enjoyed when time periods are evenly divided between labor, sleep, and recreation...all people should spend one-third of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25039]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is best enjoyed when time periods are evenly divided between labor, sleep, and recreation...all people should spend one-third of their time in recreation which is rebuilding, voluntary activity, never idleness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25039</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Before we work on artificial intelligence why don't we do something about natural stupidity? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9456]]></link><description><![CDATA[Before we work on artificial intelligence why don't we do something about natural stupidity?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23471]]></link><description><![CDATA[Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23471</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These are people who are choosing between food or paying the rent, people who are choosing between food and buying ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33384]]></link><description><![CDATA[These are people who are choosing between food or paying the rent, people who are choosing between food and buying their child a pair of shoes, food and heat in the wintertime.

To put it in a provocative manner: the Bible is theology. It is historical theology. It can reveal its meaning only to those who regard it as the Word of God, and are able to preserve a strict confidence in the universal significance of particular historical occasions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all.

People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The laughter of adults was always very different from the laughter of children.
