In the long run, the most important economic effect of population size and growth is the contribution of additional people to our stock of useful knowledge. And this contribution is large enough in the long run to overcome all the costs of population growth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15730</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wars and elections are both too big and too small to matter in the long run.

Fear is nobler than sensuality. Fear is better than no God, better than a god made with hands. In that fear lay deep hidden the sense of the infinite. The worship of fear is true, though very low; and though not acceptable to God in itself -- for only the worship of spirit and of truth is acceptable to him -- yet even in His sight it is precious. For he regards men not as they are merely, but as they shall be; not as they shall be merely, but as they are now growing, or capable of growing, towards that image after which He made them that they might grow to it. Therefore a thousand stages, each in itself all but valueless, are of inestimable worth as the necessary and connected gradations of an infinite progress. A condition which of declension would indicate a devil, may of growth indicate a saint.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8125</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death's the discharge of our debt of sorrow ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11479]]></link><description><![CDATA[Death's the discharge of our debt of sorrow]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11479</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People think families like that are the exception, but they aren't.
