It can corrupt people who otherwise carry on their daily duties with apparent reasonableness and common sense... It exploits man's urgent desire for all the material good things of life -- health, prosperity, success, "good luck" -- and at times, it may even descend to aggressive acts against one's competitors and supposed enemies and rivals. It rests upon an assumption, not always explicit, that divine power can be manipulated and used for human ends. And it is the more dangerous among people who assume that since God is love, He will do whatever they ask, provided they use the right formula in asking.   Magic mocks God's freedom no less than His purpose. For it binds men more and more in a prison of fear and selfishness. Far from liberating divine power, it shuts out the free and creative forces of love and self-sacrifice that alone ennoble life and remove the alienation of men one from another. Love, not compulsion, casts out fear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6287</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Society is one vast conspiracy for carving one into the kind of statue likes, and then placing it in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57041]]></link><description><![CDATA[Society is one vast conspiracy for carving one into the kind of statue likes, and then placing it in the most convenient niche it has.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57041</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Freedom released the energies of the masses not by exhilarating but by unbalancing, irritating, and goading. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47618]]></link><description><![CDATA[Freedom released the energies of the masses not by exhilarating but by unbalancing, irritating, and goading.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47618</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For what is liberty but the unhampered translation of will into act? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24709]]></link><description><![CDATA[For what is liberty but the unhampered translation of will into act?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24709</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every sin is the result of a collaboration. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14326]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every sin is the result of a collaboration.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Observe your enemies, for they first find your faults. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15432]]></link><description><![CDATA[Observe your enemies, for they first find your faults.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15432</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is more fairly distributed than common sense: no one thinks he needs more of it than he already has. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9030]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is more fairly distributed than common sense: no one thinks he needs more of it than he already has.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9030</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I see a bird that walks like a duck and swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2857]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I see a bird that walks like a duck and swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, I call that bird a duck.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2857</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, for a tongue to curse the slave Whose treason, like a deadly blight,  Comes o'er the councils of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59635]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, for a tongue to curse the slave Whose treason, like a deadly blight,  Comes o'er the councils of the brave,   And blasts them in their hour of might!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59635</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To what extent is any given man morally responsible for any given act?

Remote from universal nature, and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65043]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People who demand neutrality in any situation are usually not neutral but in favor of the status quo. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44411]]></link><description><![CDATA[People who demand neutrality in any situation are usually not neutral but in favor of the status quo.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It’s time we framed every question - every issue -- not in terms of what’s in it for ‘me,’ but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12352]]></link><description><![CDATA[It’s time we framed every question - every issue -- not in terms of what’s in it for ‘me,’ but what’s in it for all of us?
