The time came when the Church had ceased to grow, except externally in wealth, power, and prestige; and these are mere outward adornments, or hampering burdens, very likely. They do not imply growth or creativeness. The time came when dogmatism, tyranny, and ignorance strangled the free intellectual activity of the Church, and worldliness destroyed its moral fruitfulness. Then joy spread her wings and flew away. The Christian graces care nothing for names and labels; where the Spirit of the Lord is, there they abide, but not in great Churches that have forgotten Him. How little of joy there is in the character of the religious bigot or fanatic, or in the prudent ecclesiastical statesman! A show of cheerfulness they may cultivate, as they often do; but it is like the crackling of thorns under a pot: we cannot mistake it for the joy of the Lord which is the strength of the true Christian.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8262</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't worry, it's not loaded. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15233]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't worry, it's not loaded.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15233</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Light is meaningful only in relation to darkness, and truth presupposes error.

There is no process by which to reach an ideal. There are no tests by which to verify it. It is therefore impossible to frame a proposition about an ideal which can be proved or disproved.

You may split it into different parts if you'd like - right now I'll put it as Unsorted. And He feels so incredibly weak when he has ferociously quarreled against them since his genuine years and has lost. His hopes for a better understanding dissipate as he grows older, and his mind grows less eager to reach a verdict. Having no sense of direction, he roams here, looking above, asking futile questions, even though the answers may be feared. Good by nature, he has learned his survival skills, which will lead him into the real world, and will someday make him a successful individual. Wishing the pressure did not exist, it is a natural instinct to adapt and not to recluse. He rather is a mindless drone than a lonely Hermit, after all. He has no control over his environment, it is the exact opposite. Molded and shaped by his surroundings, he seeks about for himself and his purpose, while this mold slowly deteriorates organic matter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27679</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors, and I shall adopt new views so fast as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14147]]></link><description><![CDATA[I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors, and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14147</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The celebrities who bought my watches did help, but they weren't just doing me a favor because they truly loved ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36908]]></link><description><![CDATA[The celebrities who bought my watches did help, but they weren't just doing me a favor because they truly loved the watches, ...

You can find positive signs or you can find negative signs. How you evaluate them depends on something that happened in your life recently or something like that. There's no objective way to do it. The important thing is you try to commit yourself to making the positive signs more real. Suppose you felt that there's 99 percent of a probability that human civilization is going to be destroyed in the next hundred years, but one percent chance it won't be, and that one percent offers some opportunities to do something. Well, you commit yourself to that one percent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If all mankind were suddenly to practice honesty, many thousands of people would be sure to starve. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12544]]></link><description><![CDATA[If all mankind were suddenly to practice honesty, many thousands of people would be sure to starve.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12544</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fortune helps the brave. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10307]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fortune helps the brave.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10307</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I haven't seen anything like this before.

Many grown-ups will obstinately persist, if only now and then, in composing small strings of sentences in their heads and achieving at least momentary logic. This probably cannot be prevented, but we have learned how to minimize the consequences by arranging that such grown-ups will be unable to pursue that logic very far. If they were at home in the technology of writing, there's no telling how much social disorder they would cause by thinking things out at length.Our schools have chosen to cut this danger off as close to the root as possible, thus taking measures to preclude not only the birth of thought but its conception. They give the pill to even the youngest children, but just to be on the safe side, they give it to everybody else, too, especially all would-be schoolteachers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52091</guid></item></channel></rss>
