It tends to imply that the objection is to the attendant dangers and not to the thing itself. But if sexual intercourse before and outside marriage is against the teaching of Jesus, then the thing is not only dangerous, it is wrong in itself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7562</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Insanity is my only means of relaxation ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21005]]></link><description><![CDATA[Insanity is my only means of relaxation]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21005</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We learn by practice.

When we select for serious consideration those doctrines which "transcend" the thought of his own age and are "for all time", we are assuming that the thought of our age is correct: for of course by thoughts which transcend the great man's age we really mean thoughts that agree with ours. Thus I value Shakespeare's picture of the transformation in old Lear more than I value his views about the divine right of kings, because I agree with Shakespeare that a man can be purified by suffering like Lear, but do not believe that kings (or any other rulers) have divine right in the sense required. When the great man's views do not seem to us erroneous we do not value them the less for having been shared with his contemporaries. Shakespeare's disdain for treachery and Christ's blessing on the poor were not alien to the outlook of their respective periods; but no one wishes to discredit them on that account.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9045]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where law ends, tyranny begins. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24315]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where law ends, tyranny begins.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24315</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43695]]></link><description><![CDATA[And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country.
