To have ideas, apercus, is not enough, and it is the overevalutation of such clever but uncontrolled guesses which is apt to produce the ludicrous fallacy of combination, in which fragments of the final theory are collected from widely scattered sources and are combined in such a way as to impugn the originality of him who was the first to see how such a synthesis was possible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56960</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm a meathead.

Every principle of selection, every separation connected with it that is not necessitated quite objectively by common work, local conditions, or family connections is of the greatest danger to a Christian community. When the way of intellectual or spiritual selection is taken, the human element always insinuates itself and robs the fellowship of its spiritual power and its effectiveness for the Church, and drives it into sectarianism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8576</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our investment portfolio continues to contribute positively to the group's result, despite an increase in Foxtel losses, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38486]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our investment portfolio continues to contribute positively to the group's result, despite an increase in Foxtel losses,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38486</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Read the best books first, or you may not have a chance to read them all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4649]]></link><description><![CDATA[Read the best books first, or you may not have a chance to read them all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4649</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing but what astonishes is true. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61992]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing but what astonishes is true.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remember that as a teenager you are at the last stage of your life when you will be happy to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58818]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remember that as a teenager you are at the last stage of your life when you will be happy to hear that the phone is for you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58818</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're seeing a lot of these. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34395]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're seeing a lot of these.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34395</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life happens too fast for you ever to think about it.
