However, not every one of them is inhabited. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely products of a deranged imagination.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34017</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thought once awakened does not again slumber. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59206]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thought once awakened does not again slumber.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Genius is another word for magic, and the whole point of magic is that it is inexplicable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26199]]></link><description><![CDATA[Genius is another word for magic, and the whole point of magic is that it is inexplicable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26199</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Two meanings have our lightest fantasies, One of the flesh, and of the spirit one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15283]]></link><description><![CDATA[Two meanings have our lightest fantasies, One of the flesh, and of the spirit one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15283</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That is obviously the most thorny problem, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31737]]></link><description><![CDATA[That is obviously the most thorny problem,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31737</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And we shall be made truly wise if we be content; content, too, not only with what we can understand, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14976]]></link><description><![CDATA[And we shall be made truly wise if we be content; content, too, not only with what we can understand, but content with what we do not understand--the habit of mind which theologians call--and rightly--faith in God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't let the University get in the way of your education. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60252]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't let the University get in the way of your education.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60252</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The nations which have put mankind and posterity most in their debt have been small states Israel, Athens, Florence, Elizabethan ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47832]]></link><description><![CDATA[The nations which have put mankind and posterity most in their debt have been small states Israel, Athens, Florence, Elizabethan England]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An expert is someone who knows a lot about the past. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22410]]></link><description><![CDATA[An expert is someone who knows a lot about the past.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22410</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Las Vegas looks the way you'd imagine heaven must look at night. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24113]]></link><description><![CDATA[Las Vegas looks the way you'd imagine heaven must look at night.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24113</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the Lord Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon Creation, I should have recommended something simpler. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53689]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the Lord Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon Creation, I should have recommended something simpler.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a fundamental difference between the appeal of a mass movement and the appeal of a practical organization.

The practical organization offers opportunities for self-advancement, and its appeal is mainly to self-interest. On the other hand, a mass movement, particularly in its active, revivalist phase, appeals not to those intent on bolstering and advancing a cherished self, but to those who crave to be rid of an unwanted self. A mass movement attracts and holds a following not because it can satisfy the desire for self-advancement, but because it can satisfy the passion for self-renunciation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On the other side of the handrail, the hallway's gray marble floor looks as if we've climbed a stairway through ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8897]]></link><description><![CDATA[On the other side of the handrail, the hallway's gray marble floor looks as if we've climbed a stairway through the clouds.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were.
