incorporations of ideas- not only the ideas of an Edison or a Ford but the ideas of innumerable anonymous people who figure out the design of supermarkets, the location of gasoline stations, and the million mundane things on which our material well-being depends. Societies which have more people carrying out physical acts and fewer people supplying ideas do not have higher standards of living. Quite the contrary.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15893</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our attitudes control our lives.

Its story of our origins and of our end is, to say the least, unsatisfactory. To the question, "How did it all begin?", science answers, "Probably by an accident." To the question, "How will it all end?", science answers, "Probably by an accident." And to many people, the accidental life is not worth living. Moreover, the science-god has no answer to the question, "Why are we here?" and, to the question, "What moral instructions do you give us?", the science-god maintains silence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41486]]></link><description><![CDATA[The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41486</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61373]]></link><description><![CDATA[And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61373</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Opera is when a guy gets stabbed in the back and, instead of bleeding, he sings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44922]]></link><description><![CDATA[Opera is when a guy gets stabbed in the back and, instead of bleeding, he sings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44922</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Throughout history the world has been laid waste to ensure the triumph of conceptions that are now as dead as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19403]]></link><description><![CDATA[Throughout history the world has been laid waste to ensure the triumph of conceptions that are now as dead as the men that died for them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19034]]></link><description><![CDATA[A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19034</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We will have no other master but our caprice -- that is to say, our evil self will have no ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6597]]></link><description><![CDATA[We will have no other master but our caprice -- that is to say, our evil self will have no God, and the foundation of our nature is seditious, impious, refractory, opposed to and contemptuous of all that tries to rule it, and therefore contrary to order, ungovernable and negative. It is this foundation which Christianity calls the natural man. But the savage which is within us, and constitutes the primitive stuff of us, must be disciplined and civilized in order to produce a man. And the man must be patiently cultivated to produce a wise man; and the wise man must be tested and tried if he is to become righteous, and the righteous man must have substituted the will of God for his individual will, if he is to become a saint.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You cannot acquire experience by making experiments.

You put some of the virus of some dreadful illness into a man's arm, and there is a little itchiness, some scratchiness, a slight discomfort--disagreeable, no doubt, but not the fever of the real disease, the turning and the tossing, and the ebbing strength. And we have all been inoculated with Christianity, more or less. We are on Christ's side, we wish him well, we hope that He will win, and we are even prepared to do something for Him, provided, of course, that He is reasonable, and does not make too much of an upset among our cozy comforts and our customary ways. But there is not the passion of zeal, and the burning enthusiasm, and the eagerness of self-sacrifice, of the real faith that changes character and wins the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Have patience with all things, But, first of all with yourself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66303]]></link><description><![CDATA[Have patience with all things, But, first of all with yourself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It'll keep the tensions down. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33783]]></link><description><![CDATA[It'll keep the tensions down.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more my wrong, the more his spite appears. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51488]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more my wrong, the more his spite appears.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who bravely endures evils, in time reaps the reward. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50863]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who bravely endures evils, in time reaps the reward.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But I felt the moral obligation to help prevent what happened to me from happening to our people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41277]]></link><description><![CDATA[But I felt the moral obligation to help prevent what happened to me from happening to our people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41277</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth - for your love is more delightful than wine ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23870]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth - for your love is more delightful than wine]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23870</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Israel found no further justification to keep me in jail. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36208]]></link><description><![CDATA[Israel found no further justification to keep me in jail.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36208</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once you are married, there is nothing left for you, not even suicide. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64872]]></link><description><![CDATA[Once you are married, there is nothing left for you, not even suicide.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64872</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We think the market is ready to tip, and when a market tips, it can accelerate very quickly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36882]]></link><description><![CDATA[We think the market is ready to tip, and when a market tips, it can accelerate very quickly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36882</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To the frustrated, freedom from responsibility is more attractive than freedom from restraint.
