The sick and the ignorant were excluded. They were under the bondage of evil demons. "This people which knoweth not the law are accursed", was the common doctrine of Jews and Greeks. The philosophers addressed themselves only to the well-to-do, the intellectual, and the pure. To the mysteries were invited only those who had clean hands and sound understanding. It was a constant marvel to the heathen that the Christians called the sick and the sinful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7649</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All men dream, but not equally.

Enacting it doesn’t give them power. Enacting it gives them lives that are satisfying and meaningful to them. This is what you’ll find if you go among them. They’re not seething with discontent and rebellion, not incessantly wrangling over what should be allowed and what forbidden, not forever accusing each other of not living the right way, not living in terror of each other not going crazy because their lives seem empty and pointless, not having to stupefy themselves with drugs to get through the days, not having a new religion every week to give them something to hold on to, not forever searching for something to do or something to believe in that will make lives worth living. And – I repeat – this is not because they live close to nature or have no formal government or because they’re innately noble. This is simply because they’re enacting a story that works well for people – a story that worked well for three million years and that still works well where the Takers haven’t yet managed to stamp it out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The true picture of the past flits by.

His imagination has rarely extricated itself from under the administrative machine to gain any sense of what a human, temporary contraption the whole affair is.

The mystic soul may impatiently think so, but the moral soul finds such mediation the way to reality; and the mystic experience is not quite trustworthy about reality. The pagan gods had no mediators, because they were not real or good gods; but the living God has a living Revealer. To know the living God is to know Christ; to know Christ is to know the living God. We do not know God by Christ but in Him. We find God when we find Christ; and in Christ alone we know and share his final purpose. Our last knowledge is not the contact of our person with a thing or a thought; it is intercourse of person and person.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The emotional brain responds to an event more quickly than the thinking brain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65000]]></link><description><![CDATA[The emotional brain responds to an event more quickly than the thinking brain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know that if I can't move people, then I have no business being an actor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28706]]></link><description><![CDATA[I know that if I can't move people, then I have no business being an actor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28706</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Contradictions do not exist.
