The whole Bible proclaims the need for, and the achievement of, a salvation that will remake creation, and it is just such a salvation, at once supernatural and historical, that was won on Easter Day. If the Resurrection narratives are [merely] a subtle way of convincing us that God still loves us, or that there is a life beyond death, they must be reckoned among the oddest and most ill-conceived stories ever written.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6784</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A rich man is nothing but a poor man with money. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15962]]></link><description><![CDATA[A rich man is nothing but a poor man with money.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are beaten to earth?/ Well, well, what's that?/ Come up with a smilingface,/ It's nothing against you to fall ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21646]]></link><description><![CDATA[You are beaten to earth?/ Well, well, what's that?/ Come up with a smilingface,/ It's nothing against you to fall down flat/ But to lie there-that'sa disgrace.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21646</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius--and a lot of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17311]]></link><description><![CDATA[Any fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius--and a lot of courage--to move in the opposite direction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Woe to him who teaches men faster than they can learn. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25363]]></link><description><![CDATA[Woe to him who teaches men faster than they can learn.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25363</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Women have no sympathy and my experience of women is almost as large as Europe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2132]]></link><description><![CDATA[Women have no sympathy and my experience of women is almost as large as Europe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2132</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tim's characters tend to wear darker colors and some, like the corpse bride, are no longer living, but they have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38847]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tim's characters tend to wear darker colors and some, like the corpse bride, are no longer living, but they have a pluck and a spirit that makes you fall in love with them,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38847</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have met the enemy and they are ours. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60589]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have met the enemy and they are ours.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60589</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patch grief with proverbs. -Much Ado about Nothing.

Male sexuality is, by definition, intensely and rigidly phallic. A man's identity is located in his conception of himself as the possessor of a phallus; a man's worth is located in his pride in phallic identity. The main characteristic of phallic identity is that worth is entirely contingent on the possession of a phallus. Since men have no other criteria for worth, no other notion of identity, those who do not have phalluses are not recognized as fully human.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Intellect annuls fate.

They know indeed that they are mortal, but they do not feel it. The truth rests in their understandings, and cannot gain admission into their hearts. This speculative persuasion is altogether different from that strong practical impression of the infinite importance of eternal things, which, attended with a proportionate sense of the shortness and uncertainty of all below, while it prompts to activity from a conviction that the night cometh when no man can work, produces a certain firmness of texture, which hardens us against the buffetings of fortune, and prevents our being very deeply penetrated by the cares and interests, the good or evil, of this transitory state.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7185</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was a burning and shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25046]]></link><description><![CDATA[He was a burning and shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tools we use have a profound (and devious!) influence on our thinking habits, and, therefore, on our thinking abilities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9521]]></link><description><![CDATA[The tools we use have a profound (and devious!) influence on our thinking habits, and, therefore, on our thinking abilities.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26330]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.
