Innovation is a twofold threat to academic mediocrities: it endangers their oracular authority, and it evokes the deeper fear that their whole, laboriously constructed intellectual edifice might collapse. The academic backwoodsmen have been the curse of genius from Aristarchus to Darwin and Freud; they stretch, a solid and hostile phalanx of pedantic mediocrities, across the centuries.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The government cannot but judge extremely severely such criticisms, which are even more unacceptable coming from someone who holds an ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35814]]></link><description><![CDATA[The government cannot but judge extremely severely such criticisms, which are even more unacceptable coming from someone who holds an official position in another European Union country,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I feel certain that I'm going mad again.

For to men there is a difference of joy and of sorrow, but for thee, O Lord, there is no difference in these things; everything that comes from thee is a good and perfect gift.   ... Søren Kierkegaard August 16, 2000   By giving to Jesus Christ, the Man who was crucified under Pontius Pilate, this historical personality, the name of Lord, the Saviour, we renounce all mysticism. For mysticism in the strict sense exists only where one soars above the sphere of history, and where in place of the Mediator and the historical event are put the inner word of God, the inner motions of the soul, in order to reach immediacy between soul and God, and, in the end, the identity of both. But while it is necessary to safeguard the Christian message of the Holy Spirit from the mystical misunderstanding by calling attention to its relation to Jesus Christ, it is necessary on the other hand to safeguard the message of Jesus Christ and His work from the orthodox and rationalist misunderstanding by emphasizing that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord but by the Holy Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6691</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leave jesting whiles it pleaseth, lest it turne to earnest. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49593]]></link><description><![CDATA[Leave jesting whiles it pleaseth, lest it turne to earnest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A pleasant illusion is better than a harsh reality. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20474]]></link><description><![CDATA[A pleasant illusion is better than a harsh reality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20474</guid></item></channel></rss>
