So, beware of single-tax proposals. The U.S. government blows more money than any single tax can generate. The key is to tax multiple bases, disparate in nature, and with simple flat rates. That is a system both fair and sustatinable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58687</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I mean simply to say that I want my characters to suggest the background in themselves, even when it is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42627]]></link><description><![CDATA[I mean simply to say that I want my characters to suggest the background in themselves, even when it is not visible.

If I were to give it to you, you would think yourself of some importance, you would fancy that you had gained something very great. Because you asked for it, you have it. But take care to make good use of it. Before you had it, you were humble; now that you have begun to be rich you despise the poor. What kind of a good is that which only makes you worse? For worse you are, since you were bad already. And that it would make you worse you knew not; hence you asked it of Me. I gave it to you, and I proved you; you have found -- and you have found out! Ask of Me better things than these, greater things than these. Ask of Me spiritual things. Ask of Me Myself!".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Cecilia, Martyr at Rome, c.230 Commemoration of Clive Staples Lewis, Spiritual Writer, 1963  The faint, far-off results ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8508]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Cecilia, Martyr at Rome, c.230 Commemoration of Clive Staples Lewis, Spiritual Writer, 1963  The faint, far-off results of those energies which God's creative rapture implanted in matter when He made the worlds are what we now call physical pleasures; and even thus filtered, they are too much for our present management. What would it be to taste at the fountain-head that stream of which even these lower reaches prove so intoxicating? Yet that, I believe, is what lies before us. As St. Augustine said, the rapture of the saved soul will "flow over" into the glorified body. In the light of our present specialized and depraved appetites, we cannot imagine this [torrent of pleasure], and I warn everyone most seriously not to try. But it must be mentioned, to drive out thoughts even more misleading--thoughts that what is saved is a mere ghost, or that the risen body lives in numb insensibility. The body is made for the Lord, and these dismal fancies are wide of the mark.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8508</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is fraud to accept what you cannot repay. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16645]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is fraud to accept what you cannot repay.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16645</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Modern attempts to get away from the sheer historical facts of the Resurrection are, at best, based on a total ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6784]]></link><description><![CDATA[Modern attempts to get away from the sheer historical facts of the Resurrection are, at best, based on a total misunderstanding. The whole Bible proclaims the need for, and the achievement of, a salvation that will remake creation, and it is just such a salvation, at once supernatural and historical, that was won on Easter Day. If the Resurrection narratives are [merely] a subtle way of convincing us that God still loves us, or that there is a life beyond death, they must be reckoned among the oddest and most ill-conceived stories ever written.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6784</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Radio news is bearable.
