These paintings, these poems, and these demonstrations... are the expression of men who are struggling with their appalling lostness. Dare we laugh at such things? Dare we feel superior when we view their tortured expressions in their art? Christians should stop laughing and take such men seriously. Then we shall have the right to speak again to our generation. These men are dying while they live, yet where is our compassion for them? There is nothing more ugly than an orthodoxy without understanding or without compassion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fortune, delighting in her cruel task, and playing her wanton game untiringly, is ever shifting her uncertain favours. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50224]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fortune, delighting in her cruel task, and playing her wanton game untiringly, is ever shifting her uncertain favours.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Since truth and constancy are vain, Since neither love, nor sense of pain,  Nor force of reason, can persuade, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14394]]></link><description><![CDATA[Since truth and constancy are vain, Since neither love, nor sense of pain,  Nor force of reason, can persuade,   Then let example be obey'd.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Faith, if it be a living faith, will be a working faith. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7032]]></link><description><![CDATA[Faith, if it be a living faith, will be a working faith.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7032</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In prosperity prepare for a change; in adversity hope for one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/910]]></link><description><![CDATA[In prosperity prepare for a change; in adversity hope for one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/910</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[FORTRAN --'the infantile disorder'--, by now nearly 20 years old, is hopelessly inadequate for whatever computer application you have in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9523]]></link><description><![CDATA[FORTRAN --'the infantile disorder'--, by now nearly 20 years old, is hopelessly inadequate for whatever computer application you have in mind today: it is now too clumsy, too risky, and too expensive to use.PL/I --'the fatal disease'-- belongs more to the problem set than to the solution set.It is practically impossible to teach good programming to students that have had a prior exposure to BASIC: as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration.The use of COBOL cripples the mind; its teaching should, therefore, be regarded as a criminal offence.APL is a mistake, carried through to perfection. It is the language of the future for the programming techniques of the past: it creates a new generation of coding bums.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was raining so hard, and I couldn't see that much of the game, and it was cold and wet, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40445]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was raining so hard, and I couldn't see that much of the game, and it was cold and wet, and I didn't bring a coat, so I left early.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40445</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Emergencies' have always been the pretext on which the safeguards of individual liberty have been eroded. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35192]]></link><description><![CDATA['Emergencies' have always been the pretext on which the safeguards of individual liberty have been eroded.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35192</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Big egos are big shields for lots of empty space. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27878]]></link><description><![CDATA[Big egos are big shields for lots of empty space.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Energy and persistence alter all things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13885]]></link><description><![CDATA[Energy and persistence alter all things.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13885</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I find it interesting that the meanest life, the poorest existence, is attributed to God's will, but as human beings ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26310]]></link><description><![CDATA[I find it interesting that the meanest life, the poorest existence, is attributed to God's will, but as human beings become more affluent, as their living standard and style begin to ascend the material scale, God descends the scale of responsibility]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After the last Plant game, we changed the whole offense, because this year the defense in our league has been ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31669]]></link><description><![CDATA[After the last Plant game, we changed the whole offense, because this year the defense in our league has been a lot tougher.
