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[The nation's honor is dearer than the nation's comfort; yes, than the nation's life itself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43691]]></link><description><![CDATA[The nation's honor is dearer than the nation's comfort; yes, than the nation's life itself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43691</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Then I saw the Congo, creeping through the black, Cutting through the jungle with a golden track. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54325]]></link><description><![CDATA[Then I saw the Congo, creeping through the black, Cutting through the jungle with a golden track.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54325</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Knowledge of the self is the mother of all knowledge.
