It has run its course. It is vain for eloquent atheists to talk of the great truths that will be revealed if once we see free thought begin. We have seen it end. It has no more questions to ask; it has questioned itself. You cannot call up any wilder vision than a city in which men ask themselves if they have any selves. You cannot fancy a more skeptical world than that in which men doubt whether there is a world. It might certainly have reached its bankruptcy more quickly and cleanly if it had not been feebly hampered by the application of indefensible laws of blasphemy or by the absurd pretense that modern England is Christian. But it would have reached the bankruptcy anyhow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He alone is free who lives with free consent under the entire guidance of reason. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18451]]></link><description><![CDATA[He alone is free who lives with free consent under the entire guidance of reason.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18451</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of all the characters of cruelty, I consider the most despicable the one that cloaks himself in a garb of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27364]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of all the characters of cruelty, I consider the most despicable the one that cloaks himself in a garb of mercy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27364</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64366]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64366</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A timid person is frightened before a danger, a coward during the time, and a courageous person afterward. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10516]]></link><description><![CDATA[A timid person is frightened before a danger, a coward during the time, and a courageous person afterward.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Investigations during the last few decades have brought hydrogen instead of carbon, and instead of CO2 water, the mother of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63721]]></link><description><![CDATA[Investigations during the last few decades have brought hydrogen instead of carbon, and instead of CO2 water, the mother of all life, into the foreground.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63721</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Half the world is composed of idiots, the other half of people clever enough to take indecent advantage of them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14469]]></link><description><![CDATA[Half the world is composed of idiots, the other half of people clever enough to take indecent advantage of them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14469</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12047]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12047</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We know who killed Jane.
