But if these holy places, things, and days cease to remind us, if they obliterate our awareness that all ground is holy and every bush (could we but perceive it) a Burning Bush, then the hallows begin to do harm. Hence both the necessity, and the perennial danger, of "religion".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Coach Pressler offered me his resignation earlier this afternoon and I accepted it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38132]]></link><description><![CDATA[Coach Pressler offered me his resignation earlier this afternoon and I accepted it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38132</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Without Mr. Sullivan's cooperation, it is likely that Ebbers would never have been brought to justice.

This is plainly what has happened to many otherwise intelligent people. Over the years I have had hundreds of conversations with people, many of them of higher intellectual calibre than my own, who quite obviously had no idea of what Christianity is really about. I was in no case trying to catch them out: I was simply and gently trying to find out what they knew about the New Testament. My conclusion was that they knew virtually nothing. This I find pathetic and somewhat horrifying. It means that the most important Event in human history is politely and quietly bypassed. For it is not as though the evidence had been examined and found unconvincing: it had simply never been examined.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7754</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ther's no great banquet but some fares ill. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49944]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ther's no great banquet but some fares ill.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A fop sometimes gives important advice. [Fr., Un fat quelquefois ouvre un avis important.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/772]]></link><description><![CDATA[A fop sometimes gives important advice. [Fr., Un fat quelquefois ouvre un avis important.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/772</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we know is not much; what we do not know is immense. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9475]]></link><description><![CDATA[What we know is not much; what we do not know is immense.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have got to shoot, otherwise you can't score. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57769]]></link><description><![CDATA[You have got to shoot, otherwise you can't score.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hope is the only bee that makes honey without flowers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66829]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hope is the only bee that makes honey without flowers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66829</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We always weaken everything we exaggerate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14371]]></link><description><![CDATA[We always weaken everything we exaggerate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14371</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Can you imagine what I would do if I could do all I can? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21206]]></link><description><![CDATA[Can you imagine what I would do if I could do all I can?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Misery acquaints a man with strange bedfellows. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42771]]></link><description><![CDATA[Misery acquaints a man with strange bedfellows.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42771</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have learned long ago to possess my soul in patience and accept the inevitable. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27590]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have learned long ago to possess my soul in patience and accept the inevitable.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Or light or dark, or short or tall, She sets a springe to snare them all:  All's one to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10165]]></link><description><![CDATA[Or light or dark, or short or tall, She sets a springe to snare them all:  All's one to her--above her fan   She'd make sweet eyes at Caliban.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10165</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59477]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Philosophy: unintelligible answers to insoluble problems. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46518]]></link><description><![CDATA[Philosophy: unintelligible answers to insoluble problems.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The causes of events are ever more interesting than the events themselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19530]]></link><description><![CDATA[The causes of events are ever more interesting than the events themselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Silent icicles, Quietly shining to the quiet moon. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20247]]></link><description><![CDATA[Silent icicles, Quietly shining to the quiet moon.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was really important for us to come out of the locker room with a lot of intensity.
