You may be translating oracles, but soon you learn the risk and folly of posing as an oracle yourself. If your readers are dissatisfied at any point, they may be sure that the translator is still more dissatisfied, if not there, then elsewhere -- all the more so, because, in the nature of the case, he has always to appear dogmatic in print.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In silence man can most readily preserve his integrity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56295]]></link><description><![CDATA[In silence man can most readily preserve his integrity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56295</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is a moderately good play with a badly written third act. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1891]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is a moderately good play with a badly written third act.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1891</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46568]]></link><description><![CDATA[The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Saint: A dead sinner revised and edited. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54652]]></link><description><![CDATA[Saint: A dead sinner revised and edited.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And sometimes it's the very otherness of a stranger, someone who doesn't belong to our ethnic or ideological or religious ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39492]]></link><description><![CDATA[And sometimes it's the very otherness of a stranger, someone who doesn't belong to our ethnic or ideological or religious group, an otherness that can repel us initially, but which can jerk us out of our habitual selfishness, and give us intonations of that sacred otherness, which is God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Science and technology multiply around us.
