And these ideas are more active, stronger, more resistant, more passionate than "politicians" think. We have to be there at the birth of ideas, the bursting outward of their force: not in books expressing them, but in events manifesting this force, in struggles carried on around ideas, for or against them. Ideas do not rule the world. But it is because the world has ideas... that it is not passively ruled by those who are its leaders or those who would like to teach it, once and for all, what it must think.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9479</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Well may hee smell fire, whose gowne burnes. [Well may he smell fire, whose gown burns.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16010]]></link><description><![CDATA[Well may hee smell fire, whose gowne burnes. [Well may he smell fire, whose gown burns.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16010</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time hath often cured the wound which reason failed to heal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51202]]></link><description><![CDATA[Time hath often cured the wound which reason failed to heal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Knowledge makes one laugh, but wealth makes one dance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49588]]></link><description><![CDATA[Knowledge makes one laugh, but wealth makes one dance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever rewards evil for good, evil will not depart from their house. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11400]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whoever rewards evil for good, evil will not depart from their house.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Knowing a great deal is not the same as being smart; intelligence is not information alone but also judgment, the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20878]]></link><description><![CDATA[Knowing a great deal is not the same as being smart; intelligence is not information alone but also judgment, the manner in which information is collected and used]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The old believe everything, the middle-aged suspect everything, the young know everything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64240]]></link><description><![CDATA[The old believe everything, the middle-aged suspect everything, the young know everything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64240</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The conception of the Church which we tend to reproduce as the fruit of our missionary work is so much ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7326]]></link><description><![CDATA[The conception of the Church which we tend to reproduce as the fruit of our missionary work is so much a replica of our own, so much that of a fundamentally settled body existing for the sake of its own members rather than that of a body of strangers and pilgrims, the sign and instrument of a supernatural and universal salvation to be revealed, that our missionary advance tends to follow the lines of cultural and political expansion. and to falter when that advance stops.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7326</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fine words dresse ill deedes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49242]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fine words dresse ill deedes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49242</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life stands before me like an eternal spring with new and brilliant clothes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64768]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life stands before me like an eternal spring with new and brilliant clothes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[Defense and government networks are hardening their security, but for regular users, the best strategy against high-tech crime can be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38707]]></link><description><![CDATA[[Defense and government networks are hardening their security, but for regular users, the best strategy against high-tech crime can be simple.] Our best defenses against these kind of attacks are often of a low tech variety -- that is, keep paper records of your transactions, ... Even though much of what we have exists only as a series of ones and zeroes somewhere in the information sphere, we do get paper copies and we should hang on to those. The movie 'The Net,' I think, makes a very intriguing point, about this very computer literate protagonist who has few human connections, and this is precisely the reason she's vulnerable to the kind of attack she suffers. It seems to me that if we keep that in mind we'll be well served.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38707</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the mouth of a bad dog fals often a good bone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49550]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the mouth of a bad dog fals often a good bone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49550</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You don't have to accept it.

How strong we are, and how we prevail over even the king of beasts. The Lion replied: This statue was made by one of you men.
