Because of the role they have been willing to play, when they use the word God it is heard in a certain way. It is heard, often with deference and usually with courtesy, as a word referring to the linchpin of the era of Christendom (past) or as the totem of one of the tribal subcultures (irrelevant). The only way clergy can ever change the way in which the word they use is perceived is to refuse to play the role of antiquarian and medicine man in which the society casts them; but this is difficult, because it is what they are paid for.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62360]]></link><description><![CDATA[And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Smiled like yon knot of cowslips on a cliff. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10533]]></link><description><![CDATA[Smiled like yon knot of cowslips on a cliff.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thus does the white swan, as he lies on the wet grass, when the Fates summon him, sing at the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58456]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thus does the white swan, as he lies on the wet grass, when the Fates summon him, sing at the fords of Maeander.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fool me no fools. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16325]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fool me no fools.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16325</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[new owner of the Milwaukee Brewers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41850]]></link><description><![CDATA[new owner of the Milwaukee Brewers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When God will punish, hee will first take away the understanding. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50071]]></link><description><![CDATA[When God will punish, hee will first take away the understanding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50071</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Appreciate the power of rumor, often malicious, no matter how preposterous, within the local populations you are seeking to help. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29007]]></link><description><![CDATA[Appreciate the power of rumor, often malicious, no matter how preposterous, within the local populations you are seeking to help.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29007</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is easier to do one's duty to others than to one's self.

Here, in 1878, Engels apodictically announced that military weapons are "now so perfected that no further progress of any revolutionizing influence is any longer possible." Henceforth "all further [technological] progress is by and large indifferent for land warfare. The age of evolution is in this regard essentially closed." This complacent conclusion shows in what the achievement of the innovator consists: he accomplishes what other people believe to be unthinkable and unfeasible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52022</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It sometimes happens that a woman is handsomer at twenty-nine than she was ten years before ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3811]]></link><description><![CDATA[It sometimes happens that a woman is handsomer at twenty-nine than she was ten years before]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3811</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Facts per se can neither prove nor refute anything.
