They say that it makes us so free that it cannot be the truth. To them it is like believing in fairyland to believe in such freedom as we enjoy. It is like believing in men with wings to entertain the fancy of men with wills. It is like accepting a fable about a squirrel in conversation with a mountain to believe in a man who is free to ask or a God who is free to answer. This is a manly and a rational negation, for which I for one shall always show respect. But I decline to show any respect for those who first of all clip the bird and cage the squirrel, rivet the chains and refuse the freedom, close all the doors of the cosmic prison on us with a clang of eternal iron, tell us that our emancipation is a dream and our dungeon a necessity; and then calmly turn round and tell us they have a freer thought and a more liberal theology.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is better to be defeated on principle than to win on lies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11805]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is better to be defeated on principle than to win on lies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11805</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bush said today he is being stalked.

"Follow me," "come unto me," and "ye will not come unto me," indicate sufficiently that what he offered to men was himself. He seeks to win men's acceptance of the truth that had come in him. His words and deeds served to indicate what manner of man he was and what kind of work he had come to do; and all the time it is a person addressing persons, seeking to gain their recognition of and their self-commitment to himself. He sought to exercise no authority over men that was not personal, both in the way it was exercised and in the way in which it was recognized and accepted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of all the plants that cover the earth and lie like a fringe of hair upon the body of our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46670]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of all the plants that cover the earth and lie like a fringe of hair upon the body of our grandmother, try to obtain knowledge that you may be strengthened in life]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Discontent is the first necessity of progress. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12414]]></link><description><![CDATA[Discontent is the first necessity of progress.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12414</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It seems the storm is not going to be as strong as we feared and that was enough to take ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38864]]></link><description><![CDATA[It seems the storm is not going to be as strong as we feared and that was enough to take some of the selling pressure off stocks today.

But in fact intellectual progress usually occurs through sheer abandonment of questions together with both of the alternatives they assume - an abandonment that results from their decreasing vitality and change of urgent interest. We do not solve them: we get over them. Old questions are solved by disappearing, evaporating, while new questions corresponding to the changed attitude of endeavor and preference take their place.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The product that will not sell without advertising will not sell profitably with advertising. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/756]]></link><description><![CDATA[The product that will not sell without advertising will not sell profitably with advertising.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Action and care will in time wear down the strongest frame, but guilt and melancholy are poisons of quick dispatch. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18497]]></link><description><![CDATA[Action and care will in time wear down the strongest frame, but guilt and melancholy are poisons of quick dispatch.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A deal of skimble-skamble stuff. -King Henry IV.
