I believe that humanity is master of its own fate... Before we can change direction, we have to question many of the assumptions underlying our current philosophy. Assumptions like bigger is better; you can't stop progress; no speed is too fast; globalization is good. Then we have to replace them with some different assumptions: small is beautiful; roots and traditions are worth preserving; variety is the spice of life; the only work worth doing is meaningful work; biodiversity is the necessary pre-condition for human survival.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I was 6 years old, I had a little fur coat, but that was it.

Although now we see Him not, yet believing, we can "rejoice with joy unspeakable" in what the Triune God has done and is doing through Him. This Good News, so rich that it is stated in a variety of ways, but always consistently, in the New Testament, is what we always imperfect children, but children [yet], are privileged -- and commanded -- to make known and to demonstrate to all mankind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is one of man's curious idiosyncrasies to create difficulties for the pleasure of resolving them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12230]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is one of man's curious idiosyncrasies to create difficulties for the pleasure of resolving them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Know and believe in yourself, and what others think won't disturb you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21714]]></link><description><![CDATA[Know and believe in yourself, and what others think won't disturb you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21714</guid></item></channel></rss>
