Frequently this leads to statements that "there are noneconomic values" to consider. There are, of course, noneconomic values. Indeed, there are only noneconomic values. Economics is not a value itself but merely a method of trading off one value against another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You complain, Velox, that the epigrams which I write are long. You yourself write nothing; your attempts are shorter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14060]]></link><description><![CDATA[You complain, Velox, that the epigrams which I write are long. You yourself write nothing; your attempts are shorter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14060</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe that pure thinking will do more to educate a man than any other activity he can engage in. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7323]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe that pure thinking will do more to educate a man than any other activity he can engage in. 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[They say, best men are moulded out of faults; And, for the most, become much more the better For being ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15429]]></link><description><![CDATA[They say, best men are moulded out of faults; And, for the most, become much more the better For being a little bad.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They who lack talent expect things to happen without effort.

They ascribe failure to a lack of inspiration or ability, or to misfortune, rather than to insufficient application. At the core of every true talent there is an awareness of the difficulties inherent in any achievement, and the confidence that by persistence and patience something worthwhile will be realized. Thus talent is a species of vigor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44154</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love askes faith, and faith firmenesse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49610]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love askes faith, and faith firmenesse.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A mind's frigidity: frozen steel, dark rage, morbidity.

The first is its compromised, deficient understanding of revelation. Without Biblical historicity and veracity behind the Word of God, theology can only grow closer to Hinduism. Second, the modern Christian is drastically weak in an unmediated, persona. experiential knowledge of God. Often, what passes for religious experience is a communal emotion felt in church services, in meetings, in singing or contrived fellowship. Few Christians would know God on their own. Third, the modern church is often pathetically feeble in the expression of its focal principle of community. It has become an adult social club, preaching shop, or minister-dominated group. With these weaknesses, modern Christianity cannot hope to understand why people have turned to the East, let alone stand against the trend and offer an alternative.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Instinct is the nose of the mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52190]]></link><description><![CDATA[Instinct is the nose of the mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52190</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We only pass when the opportunity rises.
