Many grown-ups will obstinately persist, if only now and then, in composing small strings of sentences in their heads and achieving at least momentary logic. This probably cannot be prevented, but we have learned how to minimize the consequences by arranging that such grown-ups will be unable to pursue that logic very far. If they were at home in the technology of writing, there's no telling how much social disorder they would cause by thinking things out at length.Our schools have chosen to cut this danger off as close to the root as possible, thus taking measures to preclude not only the birth of thought but its conception. They give the pill to even the youngest children, but just to be on the safe side, they give it to everybody else, too, especially all would-be schoolteachers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Soccer is simple, but it is difficult to play simple. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57768]]></link><description><![CDATA[Soccer is simple, but it is difficult to play simple.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57768</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And whiter grows the foam, The small moon lightens more;  And as I turn me home,   My ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14247]]></link><description><![CDATA[And whiter grows the foam, The small moon lightens more;  And as I turn me home,   My shadow walks before.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21610]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you come to the end of your rope...tie a knot and hang on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21195]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you come to the end of your rope...tie a knot and hang on.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21195</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I didn't think he would play. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38026]]></link><description><![CDATA[I didn't think he would play.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38026</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As many mince pies as you taste at Christmas' so many happy months will you have. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8644]]></link><description><![CDATA[As many mince pies as you taste at Christmas' so many happy months will you have.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Creativity is not the finding of a thing, but the making something out of it after it is found. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65374]]></link><description><![CDATA[Creativity is not the finding of a thing, but the making something out of it after it is found.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It has been well said that "the arch-flatterer with whom all the petty flatterers have intelligence is a man's self." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16156]]></link><description><![CDATA[It has been well said that "the arch-flatterer with whom all the petty flatterers have intelligence is a man's self."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The New Deal began, like the Salvation Army, by promising to save humanity.

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[Life is like a mirror, we get the best results when we smile at it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62875]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is like a mirror, we get the best results when we smile at it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62875</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They that envy others are their inferiors. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14049]]></link><description><![CDATA[They that envy others are their inferiors.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14049</guid></item></channel></rss>
