For where unification has been able to establish unity of ideas it has usually ended in uniformity, paralysing the growth of new ideas. And where the unification has merely brought about an artificial or imposed unity, its irksomeness has led through discord to disruption.Vitality springs from diversity- which makes for real progress so long as there is mutual toleration, based on the recognition that worse may come from an attempt to suppress differences than from acceptance of them. For this reason, the kind of peace that makes progress possible is best assured by the mutual checks created by a balance of forces- alike in the sphere of internal politics and of international relations.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47213</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had a neighbor helping take care of the kids, and we just kind of jostled it.

Again and again in the Pentateuch, the psalms, the prophets, and the subsequent writings which derive from them, the claim is made that the creator of the entire universe has chosen to live uniquely on a small ridge called Mount Zion, near the eastern edge of the Judean hill-country. The sheer absurdity of this claim, from the standpoint of any other worldview (not least that of Enlightenment philosophy), is staggering. The fact that Assyria, Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Egypt again, Syria and now Rome had made explicit mockery of the idea did not shake this conviction, but only intensified it. This was what Jewish monotheism looked like on the ground.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Bridget of Sweden, Abbess of Vadstena, 1373   I have held many things in my hands, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8310]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Bridget of Sweden, Abbess of Vadstena, 1373   I have held many things in my hands, and have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God's hands, that I still possess.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Joy to the Toiler!--him that tills The fields with Plenty crowned;  Him with the woodman's axe that thrills  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62114]]></link><description><![CDATA[Joy to the Toiler!--him that tills The fields with Plenty crowned;  Him with the woodman's axe that thrills   The wilderness profound.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62114</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I’ve never sought success in order to get fame and money; it’s the talent and the passion that count in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63127]]></link><description><![CDATA[I’ve never sought success in order to get fame and money; it’s the talent and the passion that count in success.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Charger and the MillerA charger, feeling the infirmities of age, was sent to work in a mill instead of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1571]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Charger and the MillerA charger, feeling the infirmities of age, was sent to work in a mill instead of going out to battle.

Miller, I had indeed to go campaigning before, but I was barbed from counter to tail, and a man went along to groom me; and now I cannot understand what ailed me to prefer the mill before the battle.
