Every man is born under the yoke, and grows up beneath the oppressions of his age. He can only get a vision of the unselfish forces in the world by appealing to them, and every appeal is a call to arms. If he fights he must fight, not one man, but a conspiracy. He is always at war with a civilization. On his side is proverbial philosophy, a galaxy of invisible saints and sages, and the half-developed consciousness and professions of everybody. Against him is the world, and every selfish passion in his own heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22586</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54972]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54972</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He resolved, having done it once, never to move his eyeballs again. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40153]]></link><description><![CDATA[He resolved, having done it once, never to move his eyeballs again.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40153</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On mechanical slavery, on the slavery of the machine, the future of the world depends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26168]]></link><description><![CDATA[On mechanical slavery, on the slavery of the machine, the future of the world depends.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26168</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't worry about terrorism.

Secular education seems to me intellectually clean and comprehensible. Moral instruction seems to me unclean, intolerable; I would destroy it with fire. Teaching the Old Testament by itself means teaching ancient Hebrew ethics, which are simple, barbaric rudimentary, and, to a Christian, unsatisfying. Teaching moral instruction means teaching modern London, Birmingham and Boston ethics, which are not barbaric and rudimentary, but are corrupt, hysterical and crawling with worms, and which are to a Christian, not unsatisfying but detestable. The old Jew who says that you must fight only for your tribe is inadequate; but the modern prig who says you must never fight for anything is substantially and specifically immoral. I know quite well, of course, that the unreligious ethics suggested for modern schools do not verbally assert these things; they only talk about peaceful reform, true Christianity, and the importance of Count Tolstoy. It is all a matter of tone and implication--but then, so is all teaching. Education is implication. It is not the things you say which children respect; when you say things, they very commonly laugh and do the opposite. It is the things you assume that really sink into them. It is the things you forget even to teach that they learn.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As long as the regulations have not been revised, all prisoners will be given a sentence cut in line with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36231]]></link><description><![CDATA[As long as the regulations have not been revised, all prisoners will be given a sentence cut in line with their rights under prevailing laws and regulations,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36231</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever strives to withdraw from obedience, withdraws from grace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7427]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whoever strives to withdraw from obedience, withdraws from grace.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When asked what he would do if he only had six months to live: Type faster. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36756]]></link><description><![CDATA[When asked what he would do if he only had six months to live: Type faster.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I couldn't use the public restrooms because they weren't working.
