It has run its course. It is vain for eloquent atheists to talk of the great truths that will be revealed if once we see free thought begin. We have seen it end. It has no more questions to ask; it has questioned itself. You cannot call up any wilder vision than a city in which men ask themselves if they have any selves. You cannot fancy a more skeptical world than that in which men doubt whether there is a world. It might certainly have reached its bankruptcy more quickly and cleanly if it had not been feebly hampered by the application of indefensible laws of blasphemy or by the absurd pretense that modern England is Christian. But it would have reached the bankruptcy anyhow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rule in carving holds good as to criticism; never cut with a knife what you can cut with a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10761]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rule in carving holds good as to criticism; never cut with a knife what you can cut with a spoon.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10761</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["If you don't mind me asking," came the bell-like tones of the Golden Diana, "I'd like to know where you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44437]]></link><description><![CDATA["If you don't mind me asking," came the bell-like tones of the Golden Diana, "I'd like to know where you got that City Hall brogue.

But there in hell--that is, beyond a fixed boundary set by God--all the securities and safeguards disappear into thin air. What here is only a tiny flame of secret self-reproach that flickers up occasionally and is quickly smothered, there becomes a scorching fire. What here is no more than a slight ticking sound in our conscience suddenly becomes the trumpet tone of judgment which can no longer be ignored. Lazarus is permitted to see what he believed, but the rich man is compelled to see what he did not believe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Businesses are successful because someone makes the sacrifices others are unwilling to. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5052]]></link><description><![CDATA[Businesses are successful because someone makes the sacrifices others are unwilling to.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5052</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13170]]></link><description><![CDATA[Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.
