Many grown-ups will obstinately persist, if only now and then, in composing small strings of sentences in their heads and achieving at least momentary logic. This probably cannot be prevented, but we have learned how to minimize the consequences by arranging that such grown-ups will be unable to pursue that logic very far. If they were at home in the technology of writing, there's no telling how much social disorder they would cause by thinking things out at length.Our schools have chosen to cut this danger off as close to the root as possible, thus taking measures to preclude not only the birth of thought but its conception. They give the pill to even the youngest children, but just to be on the safe side, they give it to everybody else, too, especially all would-be schoolteachers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Except I be by Sylvia in the night, There is no music in the nightingale. -The Two Gentleman of Verona. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55336]]></link><description><![CDATA[Except I be by Sylvia in the night, There is no music in the nightingale. -The Two Gentleman of Verona.

If I do not love a person I am not moved to help him by proofs that he is in need; if I do love him, I wait for no proof of a special need to urge me to help him. Knowledge of Christ is so rich a treasure that the spirit of love must necessarily desire to impart it. The mere assurance that others have it not is sufficient proof of their need. This spirit of love throws aside intellectual arguments that they can do very well without it. But if this spirit is not present, a man is easily persuaded that to impart a knowledge of Christianity (for it is noteworthy that such men always speak of Christianity rather than of Christ) is not necessary -- nay, is superfluous expense of energy which might be better used in other ways.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O ye powers that search The heart of man, and weigh his inmost thoughts,  If I have done amiss, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53810]]></link><description><![CDATA[O ye powers that search The heart of man, and weigh his inmost thoughts,  If I have done amiss, impute it not!   The best may err, but you are good.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No iron can pierce the heart with such force as a period put just at the right place. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18133]]></link><description><![CDATA[No iron can pierce the heart with such force as a period put just at the right place.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18133</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The poor girl does not know how to have a conversation.
