It may be that today the philosopher is honouring the Name af God when he insists that we should know what we mean when we utter our religious language and that we should be ready to have that meaning tested.

And is not the scientist honouring the Name when he patiently and obediently follows where the evidence leads? Or the social scientist when he asks us to understand what is before we begin pronouncing what ought to be? God does not spend all His time in Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remember that not to be happy is not to be grateful. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18190]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remember that not to be happy is not to be grateful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18190</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education is what survives when what has been learnt has been forgotten. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13495]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education is what survives when what has been learnt has been forgotten.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13495</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To swallow gudgeons ere they're catch'd. And count their chickens ere they're hatch'd. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16326]]></link><description><![CDATA[To swallow gudgeons ere they're catch'd. And count their chickens ere they're hatch'd.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[First weigh the considerations, then take the risks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54293]]></link><description><![CDATA[First weigh the considerations, then take the risks.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54293</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pity is treason. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46375]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pity is treason.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46375</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no adequate defense, except stupidity, against the impact of a new idea. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9425]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no adequate defense, except stupidity, against the impact of a new idea.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blind zeal can only do harm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62645]]></link><description><![CDATA[Blind zeal can only do harm.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have to work on moving, setting screens and shot selection. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32527]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have to work on moving, setting screens and shot selection.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we have to do . . . is to find a way to celebrate our diversity and debate our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12593]]></link><description><![CDATA[What we have to do . . . is to find a way to celebrate our diversity and debate our differences without fracturing our communities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The market was really thin throughout the afternoon, with a continuation of profit-taking from yesterday, but then U.S. markets came ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35007]]></link><description><![CDATA[The market was really thin throughout the afternoon, with a continuation of profit-taking from yesterday, but then U.S. markets came back and capital flowed in.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35007</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The day the child realizes that all adults are imperfect, he becomes an adolescent; the day he forgives them, he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18370]]></link><description><![CDATA[The day the child realizes that all adults are imperfect, he becomes an adolescent; the day he forgives them, he becomes an adult; the day he forgives himself, he becomes wise]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18370</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Waiting is a trap.
