Our interest in it is not merely academic. Every outcry against the oppression of some people by other people, or against what is morally hideous is the affirmation of the principle that a human being as such is not to be violated. A human being is not to be handled as a tool but is to be respected and revered.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34870</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O how loud It calls devotion! genuine growth of night!  Devotion! daughter of Astronomy!   As undevout Astronomer ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3406]]></link><description><![CDATA[O how loud It calls devotion! genuine growth of night!  Devotion! daughter of Astronomy!   As undevout Astronomer is mad.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Idealists...foolish enough to throw caution to the winds...have advanced mankind and have enriched the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20250]]></link><description><![CDATA[Idealists...foolish enough to throw caution to the winds...have advanced mankind and have enriched the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20250</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou hast seen a farmer's dog bark at a beggar? . . .

And now I mean affection. Now I mean to be fond of (as one is fond of oneself) --to hope, to be disappointed, to live inside the other heart. When I look back on the pain of sex, the love like a wild fox so ready to bite, the antagonism that sits like a twin beside love, and contrast it with affection, so deeply unrepeatable, of two people who have lived a life together (and of whom one must die) it's the affection I find richer. It's that I would have again. Not all those doubtful rainbow colors.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2042</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[High Air-castles are cunningly built of Words, the Words well bedded also in good Logic-mortar; wherein, however, no Knowledge will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62047]]></link><description><![CDATA[High Air-castles are cunningly built of Words, the Words well bedded also in good Logic-mortar; wherein, however, no Knowledge will come to lodge.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62047</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By banishing doubt and thinking in no-limit ways, you clear a space for the power of intention to flow through. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63331]]></link><description><![CDATA[By banishing doubt and thinking in no-limit ways, you clear a space for the power of intention to flow through.

To afford sympathetic entertainment to abstract ideas, to let one idea beget another, and that another, till the mind teems with them; to compare one idea with others, to weigh, to consider, evaluate, approve, respect, correct, refine; to join thought with thought like an architect till a whole edifice has been created within the mind; to travel back in imagination to the beginning of the creation and then to leap swiftly forward to the end of time; to bound upward through illimitable space and downward into the nucleus of an atom; and all this without so much as moving from our chair or opening the eyes--this is to soar above all the lower creation and come near to the angels of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only reason I don't like playing in the World Series is I can't watch myself play. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57640]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only reason I don't like playing in the World Series is I can't watch myself play.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57640</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think it's more of a question of timing.
