That question has searched religion for contraband goods, stripped it of old superstitions, forced it to change its categories of thought and methods of work, and in general has so cowed and scared religion that many modern-minded believers... instinctively throw up their hands at the mere whisper of it... When a prominent scientist comes out strongly for religion, all the churches thank Heaven and take courage, as though it were the highest possible compliment to God to have Eddington believe in Him. Science has become the arbiter of this generation's thought, until to call even a prophet and a seer 'scientific' is to cap the climax of praise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A thief believes everybody steals. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46974]]></link><description><![CDATA[A thief believes everybody steals.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The longest absence is less perilous to love than the terrible trials of incessant proximity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59697]]></link><description><![CDATA[The longest absence is less perilous to love than the terrible trials of incessant proximity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Evaluation and judgment are responses to what exists, sorting the things that pass before us into categories of good, bad, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51994]]></link><description><![CDATA[Evaluation and judgment are responses to what exists, sorting the things that pass before us into categories of good, bad, and indifferent. But a rational life, the life of a valuer, does not consist essentially in reaction. It consists in action. Man does not find his values, like the other animals; he creates them. The primary focus of a valuer is not to take the world as it comes and pass judgment. His primary focus is to identify what might and ought to exist, to uncover potentialities that he can exploit, to find ways of reshaping the world in the image of his values.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Noble houskeepers neede no dores. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49657]]></link><description><![CDATA[Noble houskeepers neede no dores.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49657</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Keeping books on social aid is capitalistic nonsense.

When he returned home after a good day's sport, he always gave the Housedog a large share of his spoil.

The Housedog replied, Do not blame me, my friend, but find fault with the master, who has not taught me to labor, but to depend for subsistence on the labor of others. Children are not to be blamed for the faults of their parents.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perish discretion when it interferes with duty ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12444]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perish discretion when it interferes with duty]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12444</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At this time it's a personnel issue.
