Unfortunately, the popular effect of this scientific advance has been a belief, seemingly shared by many scientists, that the range of our ignorance is steadily diminishing and that we can therefore aim at more comprehensive and deliberate control of all human activities. It is for this reason that those intoxicated by the advance of knowledge so often become the enemies of freedom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remember, if you smoke after sex you're doing it too fast. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56695]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remember, if you smoke after sex you're doing it too fast.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Welfare to Work program has worked. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37159]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Welfare to Work program has worked.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no legitimacy on earth but in a government which is the choice of the nation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6103]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no legitimacy on earth but in a government which is the choice of the nation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only the more rugged mortals should attempt to keep up with current literature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25397]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only the more rugged mortals should attempt to keep up with current literature.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Values provide perspective in the best of times and the worst ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60328]]></link><description><![CDATA[Values provide perspective in the best of times and the worst]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One man's poison Ivy is another man's spinach. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58658]]></link><description><![CDATA[One man's poison Ivy is another man's spinach.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My advice was to stay a million miles away from it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33264]]></link><description><![CDATA[My advice was to stay a million miles away from it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33264</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball.

That is what you are asked as Christians to believe. And it is the sword, glittering but fearful. It must cut your life away from the standards of this world, away from its thought and its measures, no less than its aims and hopes. Hard and bitter is the separation, and you will be parted from many great and noble men, some perhaps your own teachers, who can accept about Jesus everything but the one thing needful. The Christian faith, if accepted, drives a wedge between its own adherents and the disciples of every other philosophy or religion, however lofty or soaring. And they will not see this; they will tell you that really your views and theirs are the same thing, and only differ in words, which, if only you were a little more highly trained, you would understand. Even among Christ's nominal servants there are many who think a little good-will is all that is needed to bridge the gulf -- a little amiability and mutual explanation, a more careful use of phrases, would soon accommodate Christianity to fashionable modes of speaking and thinking, and destroy all causes of provocation. So they would. But they would destroy also its one inalienable attraction: that of being... a wonder, and a beauty, and a terror -- no dull and drab system of thought, no mere symbolic idealism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I deplore this kind of politics.
