But at the submicroscopic level, specks of matter scattered through a vast emptiness have such incredible density and weight, and are linked to one another by such powerful forces, that together they produce all the properties of concrete, cast iron and solid rock. In much the same way, specks of knowledge are scattered through a vast emptiness of ignorance, and everything depends upon how solid the individual specks of knowledge are, and on how powerfully linked and coordinated they are with one another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52163</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are now looking for those responsible for the destruction of the police office.

As the New Testament uses the word, faith is trust, acceptance, commitment, vision. It is not a belief in this or that creed, it is a quality which lies rather in the realm of intuition than the intellect. Faith has indeed an element of true simplicity; it is one of the qualities -- perhaps the fundamental quality -- of the child-like spirit without which no man can enter the Kingdom of God.  ... Anonymous December 16, 1996  But lo' the snare is broke, the captive's freed,  By faith on all the hostile powers we tread, And crush through Jesus' strength the Serpent's head.  Jesus hath cast the cursed Accuser down,  Hath rooted up the tares by Satan sown:  All nature bows to His benign command, And two are one in His almighty hand. One in His hand, O may we still remain,  Fast bound with love's indissoluble chain;  (That adamant which time and death defies, That golden chain which draws us to the skies!)  His love the tie that binds us to His throne,  His love the bond that perfects us in one,  His only love constrains our hearts t' agree,  And gives the rivet of Eternity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sweetest Echo, sweetest nymph, that liv'st unseen Within thy airy shell,  By slow Meander's margent green,   And ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13296]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sweetest Echo, sweetest nymph, that liv'st unseen Within thy airy shell,  By slow Meander's margent green,   And in the violet-embroidered vale.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13296</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vacation is what you take when you can't take what you've been taking any longer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60305]]></link><description><![CDATA[Vacation is what you take when you can't take what you've been taking any longer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputations . . . can never effect a reform. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13606]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputations . . . can never effect a reform.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A brave man's country is wherever he chooses his abode. [Lat., Patria est ubicumque vir fortis sedem elegerit.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45810]]></link><description><![CDATA[A brave man's country is wherever he chooses his abode. [Lat., Patria est ubicumque vir fortis sedem elegerit.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great contest follows, and much learned dust Involves the combatants; each claiming truth,  And truth disclaiming both. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9961]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great contest follows, and much learned dust Involves the combatants; each claiming truth,  And truth disclaiming both.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9961</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I like the track.
