Theoretically, man is said to be nothing but an animal with a highly developed cerebrum. At the same time, it is believed of this man that he is capable by science and technical devices of achieving whatever he wants. The deification which might have been thought to be finally overcome, returns as it were from behind, in the form of a deification of technical creativity to which not much less than omnipotence is ascribed. After mankind has done away with the pseudo-religion of race and blood, it is faced with the even greater danger of a technocratical pseudo-religion. There is no room for human personality, freedom and justice in either of these new religions of divine man. But the most dangerous of all must be the one which makes man at the same time nothing and God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As long as I don't write about the government, religion, politics, and other institutions, I am free to print anything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5422]]></link><description><![CDATA[As long as I don't write about the government, religion, politics, and other institutions, I am free to print anything.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you different. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13109]]></link><description><![CDATA[I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you different.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13109</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is the art of drawing sufficient conclusions from insufficient premises. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62946]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is the art of drawing sufficient conclusions from insufficient premises.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So from that standpoint, it didn't seem weird to me at all.

The Lion agreed to assist the Wild Ass with his strength, while the Wild Ass gave the Lion the benefit of his greater speed. When they had taken as many beasts as their necessities required, the Lion undertook to distribute the prey, and for this purpose divided it into three shares. I will take the first share, he said, because I am King: and the second share, as a partner with you in the chase: and the third share (believe me) will be a source of great evil to you, unless you willingly resign it to me, and set off as fast as you can. Might makes right.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hope is the worst of evils, for it prolongs the torment of man ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14280]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hope is the worst of evils, for it prolongs the torment of man]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14280</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does.
