However, not every one of them is inhabited. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely products of a deranged imagination.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34017</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some girls never know what they are going to do from one husband to another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17485]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some girls never know what they are going to do from one husband to another.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17485</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis said that wrath is the last thing in a man to grow old. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28747]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis said that wrath is the last thing in a man to grow old.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28747</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are two tragedies in life.

In these Books we shall find the father from whom, the son by whom, and the holy Ghost in whom all things have their being and keeping up, and these three persons to be but one God, and one substance.   Read [Holy Scripture] humbly with a meek and lowly heart, to the intent you may glorify God, and not your self, with the knowledge of it: and read it not without daily praying to God, that he would direct your reading to good effect: and take upon you to expound it no further than you can plainly understand it. For (as Saint Augustine says) the knowledge of holy Scripture is a great, large, and a high place, but the door is very low, so that the high & arrogant man cannot run in: but he must stoop low, and humble himself, that shall enter into it... The humble man may search any truth boldly in the Scripture, without any danger of error. (Continued tomorrow)   ... "A Fruitful exhortation to the reading of holy Scripture", from the Anglican Homilies [1562]  March 4, 2001 Commemoration of Felix, Bishop, Apostle to the East Angles, 647 Continuing a short series of testimonies on the Scriptures:   Scripture in some places is easy, and in some places hard to be understood. This have I said, as touching the fear to read, through ignorance of the person. And concerning the hardness of Scripture, he that is so weak that he is not able to [eat] strong meat, yet he may suck the sweet and tender milk, and defer the rest, until he wax stronger, and come to more knowledge. For God receives the learned and unlearned, and casts away none, but [does not discriminate]. And the Scripture is full as well of low valleys, plain ways, and easy for every man to use, and to walk in: as also of high hills & mountains, which few men can climb unto.   ... "A Fruitful exhortation to the reading of holy Scripture", from the Anglican Homilies [1562]  March 5, 2001 Continuing a short series of testimonies on the Scriptures:   We are to believe and follow Christ in all things, including his words about Scripture. And this means that Scripture is to be for us what it was to him: the unique, authoritative, and inerrant Word of God, and not merely a human testimony to Christ, however carefully guided and preserved by God. If the Bible is less than this to us, we are not fully Christ's disciples.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Families composed of rugged individualists have to do things obliquely. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15164]]></link><description><![CDATA[Families composed of rugged individualists have to do things obliquely.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15164</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the fields of observation chance favors only the prepared mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46356]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the fields of observation chance favors only the prepared mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And now, my honey love, Will we return unto thy father's house  And revel it as bravely as the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2761]]></link><description><![CDATA[And now, my honey love, Will we return unto thy father's house  And revel it as bravely as the best,   With silken coats and caps and golden rings,    With ruffs and cuffs and farthingales and things;     With scarfs and fans and double change of brav'ry,      With amber bracelets, beads, and all this knav'ry.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2761</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The difference between life and the movies is that a script has to make sense, and life doesn't. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62847]]></link><description><![CDATA[The difference between life and the movies is that a script has to make sense, and life doesn't.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Acheson's Rule of Bureaucracy: A memorandum is written not to inform the reader but to protect the writer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24346]]></link><description><![CDATA[Acheson's Rule of Bureaucracy: A memorandum is written not to inform the reader but to protect the writer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24346</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was a high explosive bomb but at this stage we are still investigating the type of bomb, whether it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29536]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was a high explosive bomb but at this stage we are still investigating the type of bomb, whether it was homemade or not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who is so deafe, as he that will not hear? [Who is so deaf as he that will not hear?] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18983]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who is so deafe, as he that will not hear? [Who is so deaf as he that will not hear?]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18983</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sin is not hurtful because it is forbidden, but it is forbidden because it is hurtful ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56365]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sin is not hurtful because it is forbidden, but it is forbidden because it is hurtful]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every failure, obstacle or hardship is an opportunity in disguise.

They want desperately to perceive a vast gulf between man and the rest of creation. This mythology of human superiority justifies their doing whatever they please with the world, just the way Hitler’s mythology of Aryan superiority justified his doing whatever he pleased with Europe. But in the end this mythology is not deeply satisfying. The Takers are a profoundly lonely people.
