The intellectual heritage of the race belongs to the minority, and to the minority only. The majority has no more to do with it than it has to do with ecclesiastic politics on Mars. In so far as that heritage is apprehended, it is viewed with enmity. But in the main it is not apprehended at all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52198</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's a way to do it better - find it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64033]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's a way to do it better - find it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64033</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have a prodigious quantity of mind; it takes me as much as a week sometimes to make it up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27525]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have a prodigious quantity of mind; it takes me as much as a week sometimes to make it up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How commentators each dark passage shun, And hold their farthing candle to the sun. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51864]]></link><description><![CDATA[How commentators each dark passage shun, And hold their farthing candle to the sun.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51864</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Meanwhile, there is dancing in yonder green bower, A swarm of young midges, they dance high and low;  'Tis ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27447]]></link><description><![CDATA[Meanwhile, there is dancing in yonder green bower, A swarm of young midges, they dance high and low;  'Tis a sweet little species that lives but one hour,   And the eldest was born half an hour ago.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think your whole life shows in your face and you should be proud of that. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1364]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think your whole life shows in your face and you should be proud of that.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1364</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To die will be an awfully big adventure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/663]]></link><description><![CDATA[To die will be an awfully big adventure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/663</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If there was a Metro station at City Center, this would be a completely different discussion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36383]]></link><description><![CDATA[If there was a Metro station at City Center, this would be a completely different discussion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36383</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He just kept pushing me around.

The skeptical Greek philosopher may remind us that, after all, the image of Athena is only a symbol, only a means of fixing one's rambling thoughts upon the spirit that is Athena. Yet the idolater will persist in losing sight of the forest for the trees, and the god for the image. The gold and ivory statue of Athena becomes holy in itself, an answerer of prayer, a mysterious source of power, a material object somehow different from other objects. The crucifix, the plaster image, the saint's relic or miraculous medal or cheaply and illegibly printed Bible may become themselves things considered holy and magical, able to stop a bullet. Worse yet, the god confined in an image is a shrunken and powerless god. Because you have limited your concept of God to a man shape on a carved crucifix, you may be in danger of inferring that you are free to outrage the man shapes walking and breathing around you. Because you worship the god in a specially baked wafer and a specially designed chalice, you may forget to worship the God of all bread and all wine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed.
