If the universe is so bad, or even half so bad, how on earth did human beings ever come to attribute it to the activity of a wise and good Creator? Men are fools, perhaps; but hardly so foolish as that. The direct inference from black to white, from evil flower to virtuous root, from senseless work to a workman infinitely wise, staggers belief. The spectacle of the universe as revealed by experience can never have been the ground of religion: it must have always been something in spite of which religion, acquired from a different source, was held.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A scholar who cherishes the love of comfort is not fit to be deemed a scholar. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1443]]></link><description><![CDATA[A scholar who cherishes the love of comfort is not fit to be deemed a scholar.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have known sorrow--therefore I May laugh with you, O friend, more merrily  Than those who never sorrowed upon ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24174]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have known sorrow--therefore I May laugh with you, O friend, more merrily  Than those who never sorrowed upon earth   And know not laughter's worth.    I have known laughter--therefore I     May sorrow with you far more tenderly      Than those who never guess how sad a thing       Seems merriment to one heart's suffering.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24174</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's an excellent problem.

His Ascension means that He is perfectly united with God; we are with Him wherever we are present to God; and that is everywhere and always. Because He is "in Heaven" He is everywhere on earth: because He is ascended, He is here now. Our devotion is not to hold us by the empty tomb; it must lift up our hearts to heaven so that we too "in heart and mind thither ascend and with Him continually dwell": it must also send us forth into the world to do His will; and these are not two things, but one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21263]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The starting point of all achievement is desire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66456]]></link><description><![CDATA[The starting point of all achievement is desire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be true to each other, let 'appen what maay Till the end o' the daay  An the last ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15634]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be true to each other, let 'appen what maay Till the end o' the daay  An the last load hoam.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15634</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We all worry about the population explosion, but we don't worry about it at the right time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47722]]></link><description><![CDATA[We all worry about the population explosion, but we don't worry about it at the right time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47722</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Westward the star of empire takes its way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48350]]></link><description><![CDATA[Westward the star of empire takes its way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody's interested in sweetness and light. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23350]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nobody's interested in sweetness and light.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O' the mass of arms, the brilliant leadership, the courage and magnitude of the ancient armies of Greece, combined to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9778]]></link><description><![CDATA[O' the mass of arms, the brilliant leadership, the courage and magnitude of the ancient armies of Greece, combined to conquer the city of Troy - all that, and ten years of perseverance]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9778</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This merger will mean a real choice and lower prices in local phone service, faster Internet access and better cable ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42514]]></link><description><![CDATA[This merger will mean a real choice and lower prices in local phone service, faster Internet access and better cable TV.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42514</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're a sentimental people.
