It is enormously stimulating. It is small wonder that people who have been demanding all their lives to be heard so often fall speechless when confronted with one who gravely agrees to lend an ear. Man clamors for the freedom to express himself and for knowing that he counts. But once offered these conditions, he becomes frigthened. -Robert C.

Though in content the institution resembles the dynamic epoch whence it proceeded, in spirit it is like the [state] before the revolution. So the Christian church, after the early period, often seemed more closely related in attitude to the Jewish synagogue and the Roman state than to the age of Christ and his apostles; its creed was often more like a system of philosophy than like the living gospel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Play is the only way the highest intelligence of humankind can unfold. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46677]]></link><description><![CDATA[Play is the only way the highest intelligence of humankind can unfold.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46677</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never Explain - your Friends do not need it and your Enemies will not believe you anyway. -Elbert Hubbard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16913]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never Explain - your Friends do not need it and your Enemies will not believe you anyway. -Elbert Hubbard.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The spirit that I have seen May be a devil, and the devil hath power  T' assume a pleasing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12166]]></link><description><![CDATA[The spirit that I have seen May be a devil, and the devil hath power  T' assume a pleasing shape, yea, and perhaps   Out of my weakness and my melancholy,    As he is very potent with such spirits,     Abuses me to damn me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can do no other than be reverent before everything that is called life.
