That question has searched religion for contraband goods, stripped it of old superstitions, forced it to change its categories of thought and methods of work, and in general has so cowed and scared religion that many modern-minded believers... instinctively throw up their hands at the mere whisper of it... When a prominent scientist comes out strongly for religion, all the churches thank Heaven and take courage, as though it were the highest possible compliment to God to have Eddington believe in Him. Science has become the arbiter of this generation's thought, until to call even a prophet and a seer 'scientific' is to cap the climax of praise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One woe doth tread upon another's heel, So fast they follow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51273]]></link><description><![CDATA[One woe doth tread upon another's heel, So fast they follow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why should (need) a man die who has sage in his garden? [Lat., Cur moriatur homo, cui salvia crescit in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18913]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why should (need) a man die who has sage in his garden? [Lat., Cur moriatur homo, cui salvia crescit in horto?]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our rash faults Make trivial price of serious thing we have,  Not knowing them until we know their grave. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51223]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our rash faults Make trivial price of serious thing we have,  Not knowing them until we know their grave.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51223</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's just so much like Iraq, it's not funny, ... except for all the water, and they speak English. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35086]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's just so much like Iraq, it's not funny, ... except for all the water, and they speak English.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35086</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patience, that blending of moral courage with physical timidity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66535]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patience, that blending of moral courage with physical timidity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66535</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[Epicurus] says that you should rather have regard to the company with whom you eat and drink, than to what ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9120]]></link><description><![CDATA[[Epicurus] says that you should rather have regard to the company with whom you eat and drink, than to what you eat and drink. [Ante, inquit, cicumspiciendum est, cum quibos edas et bibas, quam quid edas et bibas.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9120</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wonder not then that all the true followers of Christ, the saints of every age, have so gloried in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6975]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wonder not then that all the true followers of Christ, the saints of every age, have so gloried in the cross of Christ, have imputed such great things to it, have desired nothing so much as to be partakers of it, to live in constant union with it. It is because His sufferings, His death and cross, were the fulness of His victory over all the works of the devil. Not an evil in flesh and blood, not a misery of life, not a chain of death, not a power of hell and darkness, but were all baffled, broken, and overcome by the process of a suffering and dying Christ. Well, therefore, may the cross of Christ be the glory of Christians!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6975</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A tornado came through here. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33335]]></link><description><![CDATA[A tornado came through here.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33335</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In 1998-99, enterprise software companies were actually harmed by shift to Internet computing because they didn't have products to offer ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30312]]></link><description><![CDATA[In 1998-99, enterprise software companies were actually harmed by shift to Internet computing because they didn't have products to offer in that category.

An Eagle, hovering near, heard her lamentation and demanded what reward she would give him if he would take her aloft and float her in the air. I will give you, she said, all the riches of the Red Sea. I will teach you to fly then, said the Eagle; and taking her up in his talons he carried her almost to the clouds suddenly he let her go, and she fell on a lofty mountain, dashing her shell to pieces.
