It is not central heating which makes his existence 'unnatural,' but his refusal to take an interest in the principles behind it. By being entirely dependent on science, yet closing his mind to it, he leads the life of an urban barbarian.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56890</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All of us are guinea pigs in the laboratory of God.

He returned to his den, and lying down there, pretended to be sick, taking care that his sickness should be publicly known. The beasts expressed their sorrow, and came one by one to his den, where the Lion devoured them. After many of the beasts had thus disappeared, the Fox discovered the trick and presenting himself to the Lion, stood on the outside of the cave, at a respectful distance, and asked him how he was. I am very middling, replied the Lion, but why do you stand without? Pray enter within to talk with me. No, thank you, said the Fox. I notice that there are many prints of feet entering your cave, but I see no trace of any returning. He is wise who is warned by the misfortunes of others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1543</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My voice is still for war. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61123]]></link><description><![CDATA[My voice is still for war.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61123</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have to win now, because this one didn't help.
