They want desperately to perceive a vast gulf between man and the rest of creation. This mythology of human superiority justifies their doing whatever they please with the world, just the way Hitler’s mythology of Aryan superiority justified his doing whatever he pleased with Europe. But in the end this mythology is not deeply satisfying. The Takers are a profoundly lonely people. The world for them is enemy territory, and they live in it like an army of occupation, alienated and isolated by their extraordinary specialness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23286]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23286</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chickenpox is not necessarily a benign disease or a childhood rite of passage.

By individual depravity, I mean my own. I find it out in myself; or, rather, He who searcheth me and trieth my ways, finds it out in me. That sense of depravity implies the recognition of a law from which I have broken loose, of a Divine image which my character has not resembled. It is the law and the order which are universal. It is this character of Christ which is the true human character. It is easy enough to own to a general depravity; under cover of it, you and I would escape.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We should try to succeed by merit, not by favor.
