One can say unconditionally: the transfinite numbers stand or fall with the finite irrational numbers; they are like each other in their innermost being; for the former like the latter are definite delimited forms or modifications of the actual infinite.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men do not learn much from the lessons of history and that is the most important of all the lessons ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63737]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men do not learn much from the lessons of history and that is the most important of all the lessons of history.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63737</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jenny, she's aw weet, peer body, Jenny's like to cry;  For she hes weet her petticoats   In ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23815]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jenny, she's aw weet, peer body, Jenny's like to cry;  For she hes weet her petticoats   In gangin' thro' the rye,    Peer body.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23815</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The English Infantry is the most formidable in Europe, but fortunately there is not much of it. [Fr., L'infanterie anglaise ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57138]]></link><description><![CDATA[The English Infantry is the most formidable in Europe, but fortunately there is not much of it. [Fr., L'infanterie anglaise est la plus redoubtable de l"Europe; heureusement, il n'y en a pas beaucoup.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are no chaste minds.

Of the present moment -- and of it only -- humans have an experience analogous to the experience which God has of reality as a whole; in it alone, freedom and actuality are offered them. He would therefore have them continually concerned either with Eternity (which means being concerned with Him) or with the Present -- either meditating on their eternal union with, or separation from, Himself; or else obeying the present voice of conscience, bearing the present cross, receiving the present grace, giving thanks for the present pleasure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Uncontrolled, the hunger and thirst after God may become an obstacle, cutting off the soul from what it desires.

There will be edits, I'm sure. If it was the first single out, it wouldn't have got played but seeing as it's the third single, hopefully everyone's bought the album, there's an acceptance that people like this and that's the way you have to play it.

In fact, however, faith in Jesus Christ crucified and risen did not first appear at some later stage in the tradition, but was the foundation of the tradition, the very soil out of which it grew; and it is in light of that faith alone that the tradition can be understood. This faith in Jesus Christ, the Crucified and Exalted One, explains both the things which the primitive tradition makes known to us, with its manifest concern for the factual truth of the tradition about Jesus, and at the same time the peculiar liberty which the evangelists take in making alterations in the record in points of detail. In relating the acts and words of Jesus, they do not refer back to any sort of "archives" possessed by the community... Jesus Christ is not for them a figure of past history whose proper place is in a library.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on sin:  Evil is the soul's choice of the not-God.
