They say that it makes us so free that it cannot be the truth. To them it is like believing in fairyland to believe in such freedom as we enjoy. It is like believing in men with wings to entertain the fancy of men with wills. It is like accepting a fable about a squirrel in conversation with a mountain to believe in a man who is free to ask or a God who is free to answer. This is a manly and a rational negation, for which I for one shall always show respect. But I decline to show any respect for those who first of all clip the bird and cage the squirrel, rivet the chains and refuse the freedom, close all the doors of the cosmic prison on us with a clang of eternal iron, tell us that our emancipation is a dream and our dungeon a necessity; and then calmly turn round and tell us they have a freer thought and a more liberal theology.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[First we make our habits, then our habits make us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18512]]></link><description><![CDATA[First we make our habits, then our habits make us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18512</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's like a 9-11 catastrophe happening everyday worldwide, but this is a tragedy that can be prevented. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36053]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's like a 9-11 catastrophe happening everyday worldwide, but this is a tragedy that can be prevented.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36053</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Will you retire?''When they put me in the grave, I want to have a pen in my hand.' ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18731]]></link><description><![CDATA['Will you retire?''When they put me in the grave, I want to have a pen in my hand.']]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This constitution aims at building a modern constitutional state based on the rule of law and free choice for citizens. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34809]]></link><description><![CDATA[This constitution aims at building a modern constitutional state based on the rule of law and free choice for citizens.
