Unfortunately, the popular effect of this scientific advance has been a belief, seemingly shared by many scientists, that the range of our ignorance is steadily diminishing and that we can therefore aim at more comprehensive and deliberate control of all human activities. It is for this reason that those intoxicated by the advance of knowledge so often become the enemies of freedom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou art a female, Katydid! I know it by the trill  That quivers through thy piercing notes   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23684]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou art a female, Katydid! I know it by the trill  That quivers through thy piercing notes   So petulant and shrill.    I think there is a knot of you     Beneath the hollow tree,      A knot of spinster Katydids,--       Do Katydids drink tea?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She's grounded in an honest place. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29118]]></link><description><![CDATA[She's grounded in an honest place.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I look for ghosts; but none will force Their way to me; 'tis falsely said  That even there was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2795]]></link><description><![CDATA[I look for ghosts; but none will force Their way to me; 'tis falsely said  That even there was intercourse   Between the living and the dead.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2795</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Too bad you can't buy a voodoo globe so that you could make the earth spin real fast and freak ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11762]]></link><description><![CDATA[Too bad you can't buy a voodoo globe so that you could make the earth spin real fast and freak everybody out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm saddened that I have to work at some fundamental areas.

It is only by contact with God that a better quality of living can be achieved -- and Jesus Himself, as the records show, speent many hours in communion with God -- yet that new quality of life has to be both demonstrated and tested in the ordinary rough-and-tumble of plain living. It is in ordinary human relationships that the validity of a man's communion with God is to be proved.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Grief knits two hearts in closer bonds than happiness ever can; and common sufferings are far stronger links than common ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18364]]></link><description><![CDATA[Grief knits two hearts in closer bonds than happiness ever can; and common sufferings are far stronger links than common joys. -Alphonse de Lamartine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18364</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wisdom is the principle thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4177]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wisdom is the principle thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A court is a place where what was confused before becomes more unsettled than ever. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23662]]></link><description><![CDATA[A court is a place where what was confused before becomes more unsettled than ever.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ordinary people believe only in the possible.

Does anyone today remember how the emperor Constantine made Christianity the official religion? It is said that he had a vision -- saw a cross in the sky with the inscription, "In this sign shalt thou conquer." He accepted the new faith promptly, because he thought it would defeat his enemies for him. That is man's Christianity, a means to earthly triumph. And in our present crisis we are appealing to it to defeat the Russians for us. We hear of the life-and-death struggle between Christianity and Communism, the necessity of "keeping God alive as a social force" -- as if our Lord could not survive a Soviet victory! It is a poor sort of faith that imagines Christ defeated by anything men can do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No matter who you vote for, the Government always gets in. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60976]]></link><description><![CDATA[No matter who you vote for, the Government always gets in.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60976</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Though by whim, envy, or resentment led, They damn those authors whom they never read. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10732]]></link><description><![CDATA[Though by whim, envy, or resentment led, They damn those authors whom they never read.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10732</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is by nature a civic animal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46937]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is by nature a civic animal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are certain events which to each man's life are as comets to the earth, seemingly strange and erratic portents; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12062]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are certain events which to each man's life are as comets to the earth, seemingly strange and erratic portents; distinct from the ordinary lights which guide our course and mark our seasons, yet true to their own laws, potent in their own influences.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12062</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man is but what he knows. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52382]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man is but what he knows.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52382</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For talk six times with the same single lady, And you may get the wedding dress ready. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26558]]></link><description><![CDATA[For talk six times with the same single lady, And you may get the wedding dress ready.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A benefit consists not in what is done or given, but in the intention of the giver or doer. [Lat., ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4138]]></link><description><![CDATA[A benefit consists not in what is done or given, but in the intention of the giver or doer. [Lat., Beneficium non in eo quot fit aut datur consistit sed in ipso dantis aut facientis animo.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't follow your dreams; chase them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63008]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't follow your dreams; chase them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63008</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you have vision it affects your attitude.
