Man knows his sin, which without temptation he could never have known; for in temptation man knows on what he has set his heart. The coming to light of sin is the work of the accuser, who thereby thinks to have won the victory. But it is sin which is become manifest which can be known, and therefore forgiven. Thus the manifestation of sin belongs to the salvation plan of God with man, and Satan must serve this plan.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61771]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61771</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16726]]></link><description><![CDATA[Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16726</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do have a small collection of traditional SF ideas which I've never been able to sell.

Ideology may well be defined as religion-substitute. The fact that religious faith expresses itself in the particular ideological forms current in any given period is no reason why we should confuse religion with ideology; and, even though it requires a penetrating and candid investigation to distinguish between the genuinely religious and the merely ideological elements in the outlook of a particular period or individual, this does not mean that religion itself is an aspect of ideology. The core of religious belief is not ideological, whatever may be said of the soft pulp in which it is wrapped up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A pessimist only sees the dark side of the clouds, and mopes; a philosopher sees both sides and shrugs; an ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45182]]></link><description><![CDATA[A pessimist only sees the dark side of the clouds, and mopes; a philosopher sees both sides and shrugs; an optimist doesn't see the clouds at all--he's walking on them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45182</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A mathematician's reputation rests on the number of bad proofs he has given. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26508]]></link><description><![CDATA[A mathematician's reputation rests on the number of bad proofs he has given.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26508</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That is the point of quotations.
