They say that it makes us so free that it cannot be the truth. To them it is like believing in fairyland to believe in such freedom as we enjoy. It is like believing in men with wings to entertain the fancy of men with wills. It is like accepting a fable about a squirrel in conversation with a mountain to believe in a man who is free to ask or a God who is free to answer. This is a manly and a rational negation, for which I for one shall always show respect. But I decline to show any respect for those who first of all clip the bird and cage the squirrel, rivet the chains and refuse the freedom, close all the doors of the cosmic prison on us with a clang of eternal iron, tell us that our emancipation is a dream and our dungeon a necessity; and then calmly turn round and tell us they have a freer thought and a more liberal theology.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Always, your work is the same: You have to tell a story, you have to make a character.

The prophets should have taught us a different lesson. They should have led us to feel that it was a solemn duty, not to conceal, but to bring forward all the evidence which proves, not that one country is better than another, or one portion of the church better than another, but that there is a principle of decay, a tendency to apostasy in all, and that no comfort can come from merely balancing symptoms of good here against symptoms of evil there, no comfort from considering whether we are a little less contentious, a little less idolatrous than our neighbors.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness is realizing that nothing is too important. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64556]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happiness is realizing that nothing is too important.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64556</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mystery is a resource, like coal or gold, and its preservation is a fine thing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64134]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mystery is a resource, like coal or gold, and its preservation is a fine thing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64134</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Boy, when you are dead, they really fix you up.
