It has run its course. It is vain for eloquent atheists to talk of the great truths that will be revealed if once we see free thought begin. We have seen it end. It has no more questions to ask; it has questioned itself. You cannot call up any wilder vision than a city in which men ask themselves if they have any selves. You cannot fancy a more skeptical world than that in which men doubt whether there is a world. It might certainly have reached its bankruptcy more quickly and cleanly if it had not been feebly hampered by the application of indefensible laws of blasphemy or by the absurd pretense that modern England is Christian. But it would have reached the bankruptcy anyhow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Look before you ere you leap. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51959]]></link><description><![CDATA[Look before you ere you leap.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take heed of mad folks in a narrow place. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49779]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take heed of mad folks in a narrow place.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62040]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62040</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The art of taxation consists in so plucking the goose as to obtain the largest amount of feathers with the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15951]]></link><description><![CDATA[The art of taxation consists in so plucking the goose as to obtain the largest amount of feathers with the least possible amount of hissing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am a simple Buddhist monk. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4962]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am a simple Buddhist monk.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fact remains that the overwhelming majority of people who have become wealthy have become so thanks to work they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21534]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fact remains that the overwhelming majority of people who have become wealthy have become so thanks to work they found profoundly absorbing.

His presence must never be used to provide a Christian justification for evil. To stand as a co-belligerent and not an ally will be to rally the middle ground for a genuine Third Way without mediocre compromise. The Third Way will not be easy. It will be lonely. Sometimes the Christian must have the courage to stand with the establishment, speaking boldly to the radicals and pointing out the destructive and counter-productive nature of their violence. At other times, he will stand as a co-belligerent with the radicals in their outrage and just demands for redress. The Christian is a co-belligerent with either or both when either or both are right, but... fearless in his opposition to either or both when they are wrong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I find it unusual that it is more socially acceptable tocomplain about what you have than it is to ask ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22373]]></link><description><![CDATA[I find it unusual that it is more socially acceptable tocomplain about what you have than it is to ask for what you want.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22373</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think I could be an impact player this season, ...
