Their one apparent purpose, pursued with a relentless and furious diligence, is to convert the assumption into a fact. They hunt endlessly for proofs, and, when proofs are lacking, for mere suspicions. The moment they become aware of a definite citizen, John Doe, seeking what is his right under the law, they begin searching feverishly for an excuse for withholding it from him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We sometimes find ourselves at a loss as to whether we should be more appalled at the Bush Administration's ideological ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34585]]></link><description><![CDATA[We sometimes find ourselves at a loss as to whether we should be more appalled at the Bush Administration's ideological obsession, its incompetence, its arrogance, its anti-intellectualism, or its dishonesty, ...

We modern pagans have to choose between that divine order, and the grey, dead, irresponsible, chaotic universe of atheism. And the tragedy is that we may make that choice without knowing it -- not by clear conviction but by vague drifting, by losing interest in Him. A nominal deist will say: "Yes, of course there must be some sort of Force that created the galaxy. But it's childish to imagine that It has any personal relation to me!" In that belief atheism exists as an undiagnosed disease. The man who says, "One God," and does not care, is an atheist in his heart. The man who speaks of God and will not recognize him in the burning bush -- that man is an atheist, though he speak with the tongues of men or angels, and appear in his pew every Sunday, and make large contributions to the church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Joy comes from using your potential. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23411]]></link><description><![CDATA[Joy comes from using your potential.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have no money, no resources, no hopes.
