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[He was gratuitously insulting 50 million Americans who call themselves Republicans, some of whom we hope will vote Democrat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33258]]></link><description><![CDATA[He was gratuitously insulting 50 million Americans who call themselves Republicans, some of whom we hope will vote Democrat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33258</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For thre may kepe a counsel, if twain be awaie. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54976]]></link><description><![CDATA[For thre may kepe a counsel, if twain be awaie.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A belief is not merely an idea the mind possesses; it is an idea thatpossesses the mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22671]]></link><description><![CDATA[A belief is not merely an idea the mind possesses; it is an idea thatpossesses the mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22671</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oliver Twist has asked for more. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20152]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oliver Twist has asked for more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20152</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13412]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13412</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I CAN is 100 times more important than IQ ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13625]]></link><description><![CDATA[I CAN is 100 times more important than IQ]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13625</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All of which misery I saw, part of which I was. [Lat., Quaeque ipse misserrima vidi, et quorum pars magna ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42773]]></link><description><![CDATA[All of which misery I saw, part of which I was. [Lat., Quaeque ipse misserrima vidi, et quorum pars magna fui.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Is it where the flow'r of the orange blows, And the fireflies dance thro' the myrtle boughs? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16029]]></link><description><![CDATA[Is it where the flow'r of the orange blows, And the fireflies dance thro' the myrtle boughs?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reason is a supple nymph, and slippery as a fish by nature.
