Theoretically, man is said to be nothing but an animal with a highly developed cerebrum. At the same time, it is believed of this man that he is capable by science and technical devices of achieving whatever he wants. The deification which might have been thought to be finally overcome, returns as it were from behind, in the form of a deification of technical creativity to which not much less than omnipotence is ascribed. After mankind has done away with the pseudo-religion of race and blood, it is faced with the even greater danger of a technocratical pseudo-religion. There is no room for human personality, freedom and justice in either of these new religions of divine man. But the most dangerous of all must be the one which makes man at the same time nothing and God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The happiness of the domestic fireside is the first boon of Heaven; and it is well it is so, since ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63267]]></link><description><![CDATA[The happiness of the domestic fireside is the first boon of Heaven; and it is well it is so, since it is that which is the lot of the mass of mankind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Imitation is the sincerest form of television. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14507]]></link><description><![CDATA[Imitation is the sincerest form of television.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are the land.

The gates have been opened to evil in part because of a terrible discrepancy between human ideals and actual possibilities -- terrible heresies concerning the nature of man and the structure of the historical universe. Christianity, even if it cannot persuade men to rise to the contemplation of the spiritual things, embodies principles which may at least have the effect of bringing the dreamers down to earth. Because it confronts the problem of human sin, it can face our difficulties and dilemmas without evasions -- without the fundamental evasiveness of those who believe that all would be well with the world if it were not for a few unspeakable criminals, always conveniently identified with the political enemy of the moment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6630</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Honest labor bears a lovely face. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23931]]></link><description><![CDATA[Honest labor bears a lovely face.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Look! how he laughs and stretches out his arms, And opens wide his blue eyes upon thine,  To hail ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3626]]></link><description><![CDATA[Look! how he laughs and stretches out his arms, And opens wide his blue eyes upon thine,  To hail his father; while his little form   Flutters as winged with joy.
