The Bible characterizes men in such a state as "lost", and as being "without hope in the world"... And let no one suppose that such a term as "lost" is merely a bit of conventional theological jargon. It stands for a terrible reality, a reality which modern man in his modern predicament knows only too well from his own bitter experience. It gives rise to the voices of despair which haunt our radios, our newspapers, our fiction and poetry, our stage and screen, our doctors' offices, our hospital wards, our grisly nightmare of atomic war, and the conversation of common people who no sooner meet than they begin to bemoan the fate that has overtaken the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had one lady ... we had an emergency run and she waited an hour to donate stuff. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32945]]></link><description><![CDATA[We had one lady ... we had an emergency run and she waited an hour to donate stuff.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32945</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the battle for civilization comes down to the wimps versus the barbarians, the barbarians are going to win. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58964]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the battle for civilization comes down to the wimps versus the barbarians, the barbarians are going to win.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was raised to believe that excellence is the best deterrent to racism or sexism.
