Unfortunately, the popular effect of this scientific advance has been a belief, seemingly shared by many scientists, that the range of our ignorance is steadily diminishing and that we can therefore aim at more comprehensive and deliberate control of all human activities. It is for this reason that those intoxicated by the advance of knowledge so often become the enemies of freedom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where two take counsel there is no lack of plans. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64710]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where two take counsel there is no lack of plans.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have a choice: to plow new ground or let the weeds grow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11610]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have a choice: to plow new ground or let the weeds grow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Osmund, Bishop of Salisbury, 1099  With us, our denomination is a source of pride: we feel an ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6922]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Osmund, Bishop of Salisbury, 1099  With us, our denomination is a source of pride: we feel an intimate link with our fellow church-member in Fiji, and we think how wonderful it is that we belong to a communion which spans the entire globe.

The sick and the ignorant were excluded. They were under the bondage of evil demons. "This people which knoweth not the law are accursed", was the common doctrine of Jews and Greeks. The philosophers addressed themselves only to the well-to-do, the intellectual, and the pure. To the mysteries were invited only those who had clean hands and sound understanding. It was a constant marvel to the heathen that the Christians called the sick and the sinful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7649</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We played a solid 60 minutes and that's important for us right now.

Therefore he must not feel too keenly the burden of responsibility, because at the end of the day all he can say is, "We are unprofitable servants". This knowledge, far from inhibiting action, actually releases the Christian from that appalling feeling of responsibility that has driven so many high-minded humanists to despair, even to suicide... Work done conscientiously by the Christian is his share in Christ's service; but it is Christ's service, and therefore the Christian need neither be proud because it has succeeded or overwhelmed because it has failed. The service of Christ is supremely expressed in the apparent failure of the Cross.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Glow-worms on the ground are moving, As if in the torch-dance circling. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17577]]></link><description><![CDATA[Glow-worms on the ground are moving, As if in the torch-dance circling.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17577</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dictators ride to and fro upon tigers which they dare not dismount.
