In this he is hampered by a load of contradictory and absurd assumptions of the school that he follows, which throws him into all manner of difficulty. Einstein has such a faculty for embracing both sides of a contradiction that one would have to be of the same frame of mind to follow his thought, it is so peculiarly his own. The whole Relativity theory is as easy to follow as the path of a bat in the air at night.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27831</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Were not this desire of fame very strong, the difficulty of obtaining it, and the danger of losing it when ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15087]]></link><description><![CDATA[Were not this desire of fame very strong, the difficulty of obtaining it, and the danger of losing it when obtained, would be sufficient to deter a man from so vain a pursuit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15087</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When one admits that nothing is certain one must, I think, also add that some things are more nearly certain ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5448]]></link><description><![CDATA[When one admits that nothing is certain one must, I think, also add that some things are more nearly certain than others]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5448</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bank failures are caused by depositors who don't deposit enough money to cover losses due to mismanagement ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3716]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bank failures are caused by depositors who don't deposit enough money to cover losses due to mismanagement]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3716</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The power of imagination created the illusion that my vision went much farther than the naked eye could actually see. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60855]]></link><description><![CDATA[The power of imagination created the illusion that my vision went much farther than the naked eye could actually see.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60855</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Aelred of Hexham, Abbot of Rievaulx, 1167 Commemoration of Benedict Biscop, Abbot of Wearmouth, Scholar, 689  "The ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6186]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Aelred of Hexham, Abbot of Rievaulx, 1167 Commemoration of Benedict Biscop, Abbot of Wearmouth, Scholar, 689  "The clergy," says Canon Rhymes, "are called to give to the laity the benefit of their theological understanding and so help them to account for and understand the faith which is in them." But surely there is no point in trying to account for faith: the moment it is accounted for rationally, it is no longer faith. Those whose hearts are filled with the Christian spirit... are best left to proclaim the Gospel in their own words and, above all, through the example of their own lives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas the Apostle Long did I toil and knew no earthly rest, Far did I rove and found ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6807]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Thomas the Apostle Long did I toil and knew no earthly rest, Far did I rove and found no certain home; At last I sought them in His sheltering breast, Who opes His arms and bids the weary come: With Him I found a home, a rest divine, And I, since then, am His, and He is mine. The good I have is from His stores supplied, The ill is only what He deems the best; He for my friend, I'm rich with naught beside, And poor without Him, though of all possessed; Changes may come, I take or I resign Content, while I am His, and He is mine. Whate'er may change, in Him no change is seen, A glorious Sun that wanes not nor declines; Above the storms and clouds He walks serene, And on His people's inward darkness shines; All may depart: I fret not, nor repine, While I my Saviours am, while He is mine. While here, alas! I know but half His love, But half discern Him, and but half adore; But when I meet Him in the realms above I hope to love him better, praise Him more, And feel, and tell, amid the choir divine, How fully I am His, and He is mine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6807</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I crave hungrily to be used to show the way of liberty to a soul in bondage, instead of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7958]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I crave hungrily to be used to show the way of liberty to a soul in bondage, instead of caring only that it be delivered; if I nurse my disappointment when I fail, instead of asking that another the word of release may be given, then I know nothing of Calvary love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Linda was a very private person.

The best games are not those in which all goes smoothly and steadily toward a certain conclusion, but those in which the outcome is always in doubt. Similarly, the geometry of life is designed to keep us at the point of maximum tension between certainty and uncertainty, order and chaos. Every important call is a close one. We survive and evolve by the skin of our teeth. We really wouldn't want it any other way.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1161</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The bravest battle that ever was fought; Shall I tell you where and when?  On the maps of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43206]]></link><description><![CDATA[The bravest battle that ever was fought; Shall I tell you where and when?  On the maps of the world you will find it not;   It was fought by the mothers of men.   - Joaquin Miller (pseudonym of Cincinnatus Hiner Miller),]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Today, the theory of evolution is an accepted fact for everyone but a fundamentalist minority, whose objections are based not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14337]]></link><description><![CDATA[Today, the theory of evolution is an accepted fact for everyone but a fundamentalist minority, whose objections are based not on reasoning but on doctrinaire adherence to religious principles]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've told it so many times. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41613]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've told it so many times.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is sorrow enough in the natural way From men and women to fill our day;  But when we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12660]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is sorrow enough in the natural way From men and women to fill our day;  But when we are certain of sorrow in store   Why do we always arrange for more?    Brothers and sisters I bid you beware     Of giving your heart to a dog to tear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12660</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Persons of high self-esteem are not driven to make themselves superior to others; they do not seek to prove their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52120]]></link><description><![CDATA[Persons of high self-esteem are not driven to make themselves superior to others; they do not seek to prove their value by measuring themselves against a comparative standard.
