We have probably all done this as children. But the state of mind which desperate desire working on a strong imagination can manufacture is not faith in the Christian sense. It is a feat of psychological gymnastics.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8549</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is good taste, and good taste alone, that possesses the power to sterilize and is alwways the first handicap ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58647]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is good taste, and good taste alone, that possesses the power to sterilize and is alwways the first handicap to any creative functioning.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All men are liable to error; and most men are, in many points, by passion or interest, under temptation to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14179]]></link><description><![CDATA[All men are liable to error; and most men are, in many points, by passion or interest, under temptation to it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old wine, and an old friend, are good provisions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49680]]></link><description><![CDATA[Old wine, and an old friend, are good provisions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49680</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What you want to do, and what you can do, is limited only by what you can dream. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12708]]></link><description><![CDATA[What you want to do, and what you can do, is limited only by what you can dream.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Above all, I would teach him to tell the truth ...

It does not love him because he is such-and-such a person but because he is there. In all this it is quite the opposite of natural love: it "does not seek its own". It does not perform the characteristic natural impulse of love and life. Therefore it is basically independent of the conduct of the other person; it is not conditional but absolute. It wants nothing for itself but only for others. Therefore it is also not vulnerable. It never "reacts" but is always "spontaneous", emerging by its own strength -- rather, from the power of God. Love is the real God-likeness of man for which he has been created. In so far as love is in man he really resembles God and shows himself to be the child of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My star, God's glowworm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17574]]></link><description><![CDATA[My star, God's glowworm.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17574</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[First Law of Socio-Genetics: Celibacy is not hereditary. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17289]]></link><description><![CDATA[First Law of Socio-Genetics: Celibacy is not hereditary.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only.

Here, in 1878, Engels apodictically announced that military weapons are "now so perfected that no further progress of any revolutionizing influence is any longer possible." Henceforth "all further [technological] progress is by and large indifferent for land warfare. The age of evolution is in this regard essentially closed." This complacent conclusion shows in what the achievement of the innovator consists: he accomplishes what other people believe to be unthinkable and unfeasible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52022</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hope of impunity is the greatest inducement to do wrong. [Lat., Maxima illecebra est peccandi impunitatis spes.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19775]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hope of impunity is the greatest inducement to do wrong. [Lat., Maxima illecebra est peccandi impunitatis spes.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19775</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can take no credit for beauty at sixteen.
