Imagine an industry that consistently fails to do what it sets out to do. a factory where this year's product is invariably sleazier than last year's but, nevertheless, better than next year's. Imagine a corporation whose executives are always spending vast sums of money on studies designed to discover just what it is they are supposed to do and then vaster sums for further studies on just how to do it. Imagine a plant devoted to the manufacture of factory seconds to be sold at a loss. Imagine a producer of vacuum cleaners that rarely work hiring whole platoons of engineers who will, in time, report that it is, in fact, true that the vacuum cleaners rarely really work, and who will, for a larger fee, be glad to find out why, if that's possible. If you discover some such outfit, don't invest in it. Unfortunately, we are all required to invest in public education.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no more mistaken path to happiness than worldliness, revelry, high life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26889]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no more mistaken path to happiness than worldliness, revelry, high life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is thematically posited is only what is given, by pure reflection, with all its immanent essential moments absolutely as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65439]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is thematically posited is only what is given, by pure reflection, with all its immanent essential moments absolutely as it is given to pure reflection.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65439</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[New Zealand is a country of thirty thousand million sheep, three million of whom think they are human. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10217]]></link><description><![CDATA[New Zealand is a country of thirty thousand million sheep, three million of whom think they are human.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10217</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Another belief of mine: that everyone else my age is an adult, whereas I am merely in disguise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12530]]></link><description><![CDATA[Another belief of mine: that everyone else my age is an adult, whereas I am merely in disguise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A vocation to marriage is a vocation to glorify God in a particular state with its necessary rights and duties. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6668]]></link><description><![CDATA[A vocation to marriage is a vocation to glorify God in a particular state with its necessary rights and duties. It can only be combined with the vocation of a pioneer missionary of the classic type if matrimony is felt to be spiritually neutral, irrelevant to God's calling. Marriage can be irrelevant only if we believe that the body -- matter -- is neutral, irrelevant, or evil. Man can not believe that and believe the Christian faith. God made matter, and was incarnate in it: the comparison of the relation of husband and wife to that between Christ and the Church naturally follows. But this conclusion is not always drawn, for orthodox Christians are often prone to speak and behave as if the Lord... became not flesh but spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each epoch has found in the Gospels what it sought to find there, and has overlooked what it wished to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53509]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each epoch has found in the Gospels what it sought to find there, and has overlooked what it wished to overlook.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Both countries are convinced they're going to meet their future financing needs on the domestic markets. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34541]]></link><description><![CDATA[Both countries are convinced they're going to meet their future financing needs on the domestic markets.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are thrilled and honored to host such well known and admired outdoor sports celebrities, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39931]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are thrilled and honored to host such well known and admired outdoor sports celebrities,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We all played together coming up.

But there is a saner sense in which the Bible -- since it is, after all, literature -- cannot properly be read except as literature, and the different parts of it as the different sorts of literature they are. Most emphatically, the Psalms must be read as poems -- as lyrics, with all the licenses and all the formalities, the hyperboles, the emotional rather than logical connections, which are proper to lyric poetry... Otherwise we shall miss what is in them and think we see what is not.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Were floods of tears to be unloosed In tribute to my grief,  The doves of Noah ne'er had roost ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18329]]></link><description><![CDATA[Were floods of tears to be unloosed In tribute to my grief,  The doves of Noah ne'er had roost   Nor found an olive-leaf.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18329</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Failures are divided into two classes-those who thought and never did, andthose who did and never thought. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22320]]></link><description><![CDATA[Failures are divided into two classes-those who thought and never did, andthose who did and never thought.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22320</guid></item></channel></rss>
